Video Multitasking

Printing my ink vial holder last night on the 3D printer took a lot longer than I thought it was going to, and I had to leave the office for supper midway through the print.

I didn’t want to leave the printer unsupervised lest something go wrong and I burn down the Parish Hall, so I took advantage of the OctoPrint feature that streams a view of the printer to a browser and also of the Android “split screen” feature that allows two apps to run at the same time, to watch YouTube and the 3D printer at the same time:
