I used OctoPrint on a RPi to drive my 3D printer for years. It was great. I added the RPi camera and could keep an eye on prints remotely, which while leaving home while printing was maybe not a great idea, certainly was convenient.
- mcshicks 6y agoYep that's exactly my setup. I don't even leave the house I have the printer in a closet and can peek at it from time to time while watching tv. I added an LED strip I can turn on/off from octoprint as a light for the camera. One thing I really like is just being able to look at the first couple layers just before I hit print so I really know I've got the right file loaded.
- StavrosK 6y agoThere's a plugin that will visualize the entire print in 3D, and can also sync with the print. It's fantastic. I don't remember what it's called now, but if you search for "Gcode visualizer" there can't be that many.
- ObsoleteNerd 6y agoGCode Viewer is included with OctoPrint, it lets you preview the loaded GCode layer by layer before/while printing, and can sync to the print in realtime too.
