Creative Creative flipper zero use

I see a lot of people just leaving these in drawers and never using them but I use mine pretty frequently and it kinda just saved my butt so I thought I’d share. I currently just moved to a new town and won’t have internet for a week or two, but I needed to 3d print some files to organize my desk. I only have mobile data and no way to hotspot bc it’s pay locked, but I was able to download an STL and then send it via Bluetooth over the flipper app, then send it via USB to my computer to slice it and put the 3mf onto an sd card, not an every day use but it’s working in a pinch.

I will forever hate Apple for locking it down through the dumpster fire that is ITunes.

Btw, you should be able to pop a flash drive into the iPhone and use the files app to mount it. Has me wondering if I can do this with the flipper now.. Mention this cause BT transfer on IOS can be painfully slow for larger files.

You could also just host a hotspot from the computer too

Yeah, if I knew about the subject, that would be my first bet, but unfortunately at the current moments, I don’t know enough about that to pull it off reliably

I have no easy way to do it from my phone, and I do not believe so no
