If you add the staff member as a "Supervisor" in SIMS, Wonde will pull them through into the Google Classroom. This will give them mark book permissions within SIMS for the class. I was just about to start writing a similar script until I tested supervisor role.

CTRL F5 - Force refreshes and clears cache: works a lot, not always though! Can also get them to go to portal.office.com and try logging in there too.

Yeh I saw that about 5 minutes after I posted my reply, Going to be using that from now on, nice work!

For videos I use Handbrake's Command line interface with a Powershell script. Copy a bunch of videos into a folder and it outputs a down sampled mp4 version. A 2.1GB video file from one of the cameras, transcoded down to 335MB.

This typically happens when the students don't give it enough time to save before closing it down / logging off.

A Flashforge Dreamer is a pretty good choice, IMakr had an educational discount on them, which reduced it to about £500, It's not on their website at the moment but the page is still up here: https://www.imakr.com/en/education/196-flashforge-for-education.html . It's a pre-assembled unit . It doesn't have auto tramming/levelling, but It keeps its bed leveling very well over multiple prints, as long as you aren't too rough removing them. . It can print any filament up to 240c . It has a heated bed up to 110c . It's pretty easy to maintain and repair There's quite a few other good kits too if you're interested in building one instead.
