Check in and New Idea!
Added 2021-06-21 01:04:13 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
It's been a bit since I've made a post here so I figured I'd have a little check in and pitch you a new idea while I'm at it...
First off, just want to make sure everyone is doing well and the patreon perks are working properly. If anyone is having trouble getting on the discord, using the auto-compile service or really anything at all, absolutely feel free to reach out and I'll do whatever I can to get that sorted.
Now for the idea... I've been really happy so far with how the auto-compile service has been running and am thrilled with the results. However I still feel it is limited in its need for config sets. Sure it is easy for some to muddle through the configs, but I think most of us can agree, with the massive amount of settings and defines in the configuration files, it can be very daunting for a new user. It is for this reason that I am thinking of making a simplified config system. Basically you will have the option to use a "simplified config" rather than normal marlin configs. These new config files would be slimmed down to only the essentials and formatted in an easy to follow way. With options like printer configuration (Default, BL Touch, UBL, ManualMesh, etc.) and a few more in depth but useful options like bed size, min/max positions, speeds, offsets, etc. Basically making a config file of only what you would need for a creality printer. That way new users who feel a bit overwhelmed by marlin configs, but still would like the benefits of compiling their own version can have the best of both worlds. But of course let me know what you think of this! Suggestions and comment are always welcome.
As always, thank you all so much for your support! Hopefully I can continue to thank you for it in new and exciting ways :)
