M s copilot

[ziggymanpopo]

Getting to dislike m s more and more. I'm running older computers. I prefer to repurpous older equiptment to save some cash. I do not think we need supper computers to run a printer.
As of late. M s. Has hacked my computers and downloaded copilot which I don't want for this purpose. Sadly they made it so you can't remove the program or stop it from updating
My problem is it shuts down and rebooted
Right in the middle of my prints. I've lost half a dozen large prints due to not being able to keep there sticky fingers off my stuff
I have two questions one would be. On my bambu labs printer it loads the entire sliced
file and I can literally close my computer down is this possible with my duet wifi 2 board second. Could my problem.be in part that all my stuff has never been updated ?
We have no control over the copilot program it doesnt.show up in the programs or settings
For updates making it unable to be removed or updates shut off. Hence forth my.prob. I'm considering scrapping m s all together and going to Linux. Your input would be greatly appreciated

You can upload your files from your computer to the Duet 2 Wifi over your network using Duet Web Control. It takes a few seconds then the entire file will be on the Duet microSD card. No need for the computer after that.

The Duet 2 Wifi can take up to a 32GB micro SDHC card. Plenty of room for lots of files.

It is possible to uninstall copilot. Do a search for 'How to uninstall copilot'. The most annoying piece of software MicroSponge has ever released.

Are you printing over USB connection to the Duet? You should be uploading the gcode file directly to the Duet to print it. No PC required after that.
