Looks like a Mission Control, so what dastardly deeds are in the offing.....

let the bed cool down to room temperature, before trying to remove, & use a Stanley blade, gently eased under a 'corner' and left for a while, to start easing the print off. Shaved glass is one of the reasons I gave up on glass beds, soo much easier with PEI sheets.....

But isn't that just the wine.....

If there's any 'meat' that can be grabbed, try a mole grip instead of pliers....

If you have any, print it in PetG…. should make it strong & durable.

Are you connecting directly or via the handset ? Have you set location \ date-time the same in both ??

My 2 pennies.... I've always found wifi to problematical if your expecting to do direct control , image downloads etc. as at some time the signal will drop & although it auto re-connects (hopefully), there's a good chance that the session is ruined..... As Stash has said, the only reliable control over wifi, is to use a local SBC\PC, which does all the work, but it can be remote-controlled\monitored via the wifi….

Can the 200d be modded ?? and have you found anyone to do it ?..... At least with the 224C you know that it will work with all the available Astro software and is designed & manufactured for the job.....

The problem with Marlin is the slow development cycle (still on 1.9, no 2.0 ??? ), coupled with 'single use, i.e. 3D printing' target for the control. There are newer 32 bit boards that use Marlin, but the software doesn't make good use of the hardware available, so limits their possibilities. Granted, Prusa, uses Marling on his machines, but its VERY heavily modified....

That's where the Duet WiFi\Ethernet 2 boards come in with their expansion possibilities..... If you wish to do something out of the ordinary, a quick search through the WiKi's will usually turn up what you require, failing that the forums as the most active for ANY control system I've seen (100+ queries a day), with the main developers answering loads of queries every day.... I don't know when they sleep And then what will be possible with the new V3 boards & their myriad busses for controlling anything you can dream up…..

The main issue is that the OS's need time to catch up..... Ubuntu does not yet have an x64 bit build for the Pi4 (needed to make best use of the hardware), although there are some x32 builds around, but these are very flaky'ish, I know I've been trying for the last few days.... I've even gone to the stage where I've built & installed bare-bones Ubuntu, & then attempting to add in a GUI etc. which has usually ended in failure …...

I've had a single nozzle, quad filament system (on my Prusa i3 Mk2), but in the end I was finding it was too much faffing around, and very wasteful on filament waste towers etc. so I've reverted to single nozzle system. And to be honest, to my mind, multi colour systems are just a gimmick, and are only really used to print ornamental junk....

As long as the capacitance & voltage rating are the same, then any brand will do.... just make sure that the replacement is the same physical size, so it fits ok....

As a starting point, I'd suggest Ascom\EQMod & drivers for all the connected devices....

Download it to your desktop & un-pack it there, then you'll be able to copy to your target folders. Note this is by design to stop malware infecting your pc.....

It will depend on what WiFi router you have, but if you have one that has separate\detachable aerials, then it will usually be possible to upgrade\adjust\remotely site them, using good quality aerials & extension leads, which may well give the improvement you require....

Hopefully you've had a read through this:

👍 Great to hear it, just don't go too far the other way......

That's a silly question, go for it, IF there are any limitations with its control, come back here & I'm sure other members will put you right......

I only use it as a receiver & feed it into the 'local' network, but I've tried the wifi re-distribute and found that it acts as a transparent repeater, so whatever security you have (if any) will still be the same at the further distance....

For when I go to Star Parties, especially Galloway, I bought one of these Wavlink Extenders (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Wavlink-AC600-High-Power-Outdoor-WIFI-Extender-AP-Repeater-WIFI-Booster-2-4G-5G/233276592443?hash=item36505e513b:g:oDwAAOSwN7BdGxO5) I use to pickup the local WiFi (80-90 meters away) and provide a gateway for a local network I build for all the pc's etc. It works a treat & I help it to receive a good signal, by fixing it to a 2M pole....

There are other ways of providing electrical isolation, and that is to use appropriate transformers e.g. https://www.haloelectronics.com/products/lan/ethernet/discrete-transformers/gigabit/

You may often find that in more rural areas, the local distributor will have better filtering in the lines, to ensure that their signalling\monitoring systems are as reliable as possible. This filtering tends to preclude the use of additional network\signalling systems.

Its' just that some of the buck converters I've had, 'fixed' the +ve rail and raised\lowered the 0v line thereby producing a potential difference between the incoming 0v\GND and the output, but with the correct, regulated output....

The log says that your SciTech controller 'thought' that the target was below horizon, so wouldn't move, therefore SGPro shut-up shop.....
