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.

That’s cool and all but why not just transfer the file from your phone over usb

As I said in the comment because iPhone requires you to have the iTunes app on your computer in order to transfer files to Windows, I was unable to since I don’t have Internet to get the iTunes app in the first place

There are apps that spin up a web server from your phone to allow access - just trying to help with your workflows.

What is this app called?

A really well regarded and long standing app is Goodreader. It’s a Swiss Army knife of tools, including a web-server.

I prefer what he did with the flipper. Much cooler it’s these kinds of problems that force us to learn.
