They have put a toucjscreen gui in front of everything and I've not found anyplace to override its automatic calibrations, somethig its very easy to do to an ender 3 pro. And its readily apparent that its firmware is not gpl'd altho the license tab scrolls thru all the gpl contributions in it including busybox. And they denied any connection between the lack of networking and my acceptance of a hidden eula. They promised to get back to me yesterday about its total lack of network connection with the exact same style of static settings that just works for 6 other machines here. But the day passed without a peep from them. At the price of it, I'd expect them to be giving my problems with it a MUCH higher priority. Conncted to a usb extension cable, udev does find it but bitches because the extension cable is usb2. [750334.478243] usb 1-3: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 [750334.478249] usb 1-3: Product: Standard USB Hub [750334.479881] hub 1-3:1.0: USB hub found [750334.480012] hub 1-3:1.0: 4 ports detected [750334.765533] usb 1-3.4: new full-speed USB device number 37 using xhci_hcd Thats the 10 meter extension cable, which is not capable of usb3 speeds.

So thats twice I've been denied access to an $1800 printer. That leaves sneakernet using a supplied 16Gigabyte usb key. But the cura AppImage, while having access to serveral hundred printers so it can drive them, this printer is not in that list. What I'd like to do is take that .exe apart, find that printers profile in it, and move it to the AppImage. But a pulmonary embolism I did manage to survive 7 years ago, something less than 2% survive those, has taken that ability away from me. That, and other side effects of 86 years now has me hat in hand, humbly asking for help. Thank you David.
