• How could I send .gcode wirelessly

  The cheapest way is to use OctoPrint. Octoprint itself is free, and although it's often run on a Raspberry Pi, it can be installed on many things, such as an old laptop runing Linux or even Windows, or a small single-board computer. OctoPrint would connect to the printer using a USB cable, and you'd send the slicer output to Octoprint over your WiFi. Source: 4 months ago

• Error when manually trying to run octoprint from Orange Pi

• Raspberry Pi 5

  - Two LibreELEC (https://libreelec.tv/) mediaplayers in house (yes, one is not enough in my big family). - One for hosting low usage applications at home network (Unifi controller and some more). - Octoprint (https://octoprint.org) connected to the 3d-printer. - One on my desk for hardware hacking – mostly as just a PC with GPIO. - Some Raspberry Pi Zeros as security cameras. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• [3D Printer] (Microcenter In-Store Only) Creality Ender 3 V2 3D Printer - $99.99 ($279.00-$179.01)

  Really quite easy, especially if you have ever dealt with a raspberry pi before. Once installed & set up, you manage everything over a web interface. I even added a webcam to it in order to see what's going on. Check out https://octoprint.org/. Source: 9 months ago

• Aquila X2 locking up after printing crash

  For other devices it can be harder, there are guides for installing on Linux on the octoprint website (I use an old laptop running Linux Mint). If using an old Android phone look for Octo4A. Source: 10 months ago

• Just bought a Ender 3 Neo

  I’d just get Octoprint setup and a camera for it. Source: 10 months ago

• Ender 3 Neo SD card dump

  You should try Octoprint. You can install it onto a raspberry pi etc and have online monitoring and printing. I have it setup on my Raspberry Pi 3B but I need a stronger power supply or there could be issues printing so I haven’t tried it yet. Source: 11 months ago

• PSA: mjpg-streamer, included with OctoPi, will not work with a Pi camera on 64-bit Linux + workaround

  OctoPi, the OctoPrint Pi distribution, uses mjpg-streamer by default and won't work with a Pi camera out of the box if you install a 64-bit OS version. Source: 12 months ago

• MultiPrinter Web UI on SBC (School)

  Have a look at octoprint it’s a great package and should run on your potato 🥔board. Source: 12 months ago

• As suspected. The SV06 Z-motor mounts are not square with the frame.

  Its a plug-in for Octoprint (https://octoprint.org/ ) called Bed Level Visualizer. An explanation can be found here https://all3dp.com/2/octoprint-bed-level-visualizer-guide/. Source: 12 months ago

• My Ender 3V2 setup with lots of pictures and descriptions of mods

  I use Octoprint to control the printer, do timelapses, create a bed mesh, edit the eeprom, etc. I chose this screen capture so you can see some of the plugins I've added. I love what the ArcWelder plugin does, even if I can't really explain what it does. There's also an ArcWelder plugin for Cura if you don't use Octoprint. And there are a ton more features and plugins to Octoprint than I use. (Mental note to... Source: about 1 year ago

• Any actually useful uses for Raspberry Pi and alternative sbc?

  So I got a Libre AML-S905X-CC (Le Potato) to play around with but all the ideas I see online are about emulating games, running a nas, running ad blocker, vpn server, 3d printer, website hosting. All these just seem like these would be better to run on an actual server or the ideas are lame, basic, and overused. I just want some useful things that only these single board computers can do to justify their purpose.... Source: about 1 year ago

• Beginner HomeServer Questions

  As for alternate rPi projects, I've got one running as an OctoPrint server for my 3D printer, and the other one tracks air traffic near my house. Source: about 1 year ago

• Displaying Ender-3 V2 Neo thumbnails

  If you use OctoPrint, the version just released (1.0.2) of its Slicer Thumbnails plugin supports displaying those thumbnails as well. Upgrade if you use that plugin. Its a great plugin. Source: about 1 year ago

• Using an old laptop

  How about I talking Linux on the laptop and running Octoprint on it https://octoprint.org. Source: about 1 year ago

• Question about library maker spaces

  Right, so Cura to a micro SD card or do you use a network manager/web interface like Octoprint? Source: about 1 year ago

• I have first layer and warping problem with PLA. Is this really bad?

  This looks to be OctoPrint running with the Bed Level Visualizer plugin. Source: about 1 year ago

• Controlling two printers with one computer?

  I would suggest purchasing two Raspberry Pi's (or similar devices) and running OctoPrint on each. Source: about 1 year ago

• Any tips for remote printing?

  Try using OctoPrint. It was designed to run on a Raspberry Pi, but it will run on any PC that will run a Python interpreter. You can even run it on an Android phone. Source: about 1 year ago

• Creality refugee, is prusa that superior?

  By the way I run Octoprint on both of them for wireless printer and print management. I LOVE OCTOPRINT: Great software for controlling 3D printers. Source: about 1 year ago

• Print keeps stopping roughly halfway through. What could be the issue?

  For your consideration, I think most of us have moved to OctoPrint which we run on a Raspberry Pi or old computer that's connected to the printer and have stopped using the SD Card. If your computer and printer live near each other, you can also hook a USB cable up between them and often print directly from your slicer. Source: over 1 year ago
