Does anyone have a little scribble-pad that they write on to keep track of settings and outcomes?
What do you use? More importantly(and perhaps a harder question): What types of information do you log?
I have a pencil, a calipers(guessing stick), and lots of shorthand notes on graph paper… which does no one else any good. Every print/test run, I fill out my DOPE notebook on thresholds and starting measurements. So it makes sense to include those sorts of things in the telemetry logs.
I log home values, z stop, and offsets. I also take a measurement of the z-axis during execution of a cut because it has a sometimes-subtle feeling of inconsistency. I log when the print started and when it completed or failed. I log number and type of WARN messages.
Please share the type of data you collect. NO PROMISES, but I’d like to possibly include a feature that could track our errors locally and optionally(opt-in) allow the reporting to be sent to a central server. The dream is that we would have a local log of successes and specific failures with variables tied to outcomes. This data would be in a standardized format to optionally aggregate all issues across the community. This would allow a more scientific way of narrowing multivariable problems. Again no promises. This does sound like work and I only complete 20% of my ambitions because I’m a (hacker)space cadet.
Again please share the type of data you collect. This will help me include it, should I ever get off my lazy butt and get back onto my dedicated butt to write something vaguely useful.
