Custom Wi-fi QR Code Sign
This QR Code Sign is perfect for businesses (waiting rooms, schools) or private spaces (rental properties, home) that need to provide wireless access to their guests. Simply scan the QR code with your smartphone and you’ll be securely connected to the specified wireless network. With no complicated setup or password to remember, users can quickly and easily access the network. And the sign’s sturdy construction ensures it will stand up to the elements, so you can use it indoors or outdoors. So give your guests secure and easy access to your wireless network with this QR Code Sign.
As a minimum, you provide the Wi-fi SSID and Password (both case-sensitive) that you want people to connect to and we’ll make the sign and ship it to you.
Features included:
- A QR code that automatically connects users of the sign to your wi-fi (WPA) network. (Note: the network name and password are encoded in the QR Code. If you change the password, the sign won’t work anymore.)
- A
Custom features available:
- The text versions of your SSID and password can be added, if desired.
- Custom colors are available (remember the key is high-contrast) with a longer production time.
- Magnets can be integrated into the sign for mounting
Production time: 1-2 business days
To order a custom wi-fi QR Code Sign, visit our Etsy product page, choose your options and we’ll start making your custom sign directly.
Today Prusa made their latest alpha release of PrusaSlicer available on github: 2.6.0-alpha2. (Make sure you understand what alpha testing is before downloading/using this software. An alpha or release of a software package intends to do something particular, and mostly does so, yet isn’t guaranteed to do so fully. You are testing out an early version of this software, if you find a bug, report it.)
There are many game-changing features in this release, but in particular, this post provides step-by-step instructions on how to get the “auto downloading from printables.com directly into PrusaSlicer software”.
- Enable “Show PrusaSlicer button” in your profile while logged into printables.com.
Click the avatar icon (upper right corner), then chose the first line item (your user name), then scroll down next to the bold title “Info“, and click on “Edit your profile link”. When the modal window appears, scroll down to the checkboxes section and enable the checkbox for “Show PrusaSlicer button”, then click “Save” at the top of the window. - Enable download option in PrusaSlicer software.
In the menu, select Configuration -> Preferences (or Ctrl-P), then select the Other tab. Click the checkbox to “Allow downloads from Printables.com”, then choose “OK”.
These changes should make it so you see the the PrusaSlicer icon next to the download button while viewing a model’s “Files” list.
Select the PrusaSlicer icon next to the file you want to test, confirm (twice) that you want to allow the download integration, and everything should be working.
I’ve tested this on a Windows 10 PC using Chrome, Firefox, and Edge successfully with PrusaSlicer 2.6.0-alpha2.
Feel free to try out the integration on some of my models on printables.com.
