OctoPrint/OctoPi
I added a raspberry pi and installed octopi.
https://octoprint.org/download/
Installed plugins:
- Firmware Updater (1.13.3)
- Obico
Steve's Notes
Accessories
99% isopropyl, lint free towels and filament is all you need
Quality of Life Upgrade
a micro PC with octoprint is a nice quality of life upgrade - transfer and print wirelessly and use webcam for streaming or timelapse
Software
I'd stick with prusaslicer. Cura is ok, but never really necessary exceot for very specific edge cases.
I was using fusion 360, but you can only use it for free for 1 year
So using blender, and free cad
Filament
buy from Amazon
- abs warps easily
Pla 90% of the time
Petg 10% of the time (for spare parts for ice Makers and garden hose adapters, ...)
