I have a Prusa Core One at home and my dad has a Bambu P1P. speed and reliability is about the same between them. Price is a LOT better with the Bambu though, with the trade off with them being more proprietary and locked down (& more phone home connections back to China).

Octoprint would be an option running on a Raspberry Pi or equivalent, as suggested by others, I have used this in the past, but it was limited by the connection to the printer as I said before but its likely the Ender 3 V3 is faster anyway. Alternatively I think Creality Cloud works with the Ender 3 v3, but its not something I've used and am unsure of the security implications.

You can use the printer in offline mode. You can also connect directly via a cable though this is not something I would recommend, at least based on my experience on the original version of the Ender as it might be different now, sometimes the bandwidth wasn't fast enough and the printer would crash half way through a print. Using the SD slot overcame this limitation. You would need a slicer software such as Ultimaker Cura, Prusa Slicer, or Orca Slicer (All of these are free). You would load in the 3D file, then slice the file to generate the G-Code that the printer would use. You would save the G-Code to an SD card/Micro SD card and then insert it into the printer.

We used to use Lightspeed and had this exact same issue with iPads ignoring and not applying policies, restrictions etc. And when they did do as they was told, it would have a long delay before executing the instructions. Sadly we never found a solution. We have now migrated over to Jamf School and this is by far less of an issue in comparison, so I suspect it's a Lightspeed thing and not an iPad/Apple thing.

This worked a treat, thank you!

Hi All, We've had an incident where a student hijacked another student's account and emailed the entire year group. Does anyone know if its possible to restrict emailing the Google group to another group's (staff) members only? thanks,

Synergy works a treat, I have it currently working between my windows and mac computers.

Even between Synology NAS's its slow. It takes us several days just to do an incremental backup.

I'm not sure this will help, but sometimes I cant get an iPad to go into dfu with it plugged into a computer. Sometimes I have to have it plugged into the charging block and then hold down power & home. Once its in the mode I plug it in to the PC to get iTunes to reset it.

Happened to me as well. Got called away but lost the stream half way through.

Its the other way round that I need. So the student can speak and it will write the text.

Do you give your students internet access? I've just tried Office dictation however it needs internet access to work. We have been disabling WIFI on the exam computers to prevent potential cheating up until this point.

Hi, we have student that is allowed to use Speech to Text software for her AQA and OCR exams. Does anyone have any experience with this? or any recommendations? thanks,

How far down in the group tree are you? How many members of the Group/Class is there? do you have any teachers assigned in the membership list? I had to have teachers as members of the group when I managed to get Apple Classroom working with lightspeed. Was always hit and miss if the student device would show up though.

Lightspeed is horrifically slow, both the management UI and the time it takes to apply changes to the iPads themselves. Students would wait 5-10 min to install an app from the portal. I was shocked at the speed of JAMF when we started moving across. I would NOT recommend lightspeed to anyone. They dont even allow for a year 13 so you have to knock everyones' grade down a year
