Local 3D Print Server - Prusa Mk3 + OctoPrint
3D printing and having to physically move a SD card around every time I wanted to print seemed like such a contradiction in efficiencies. I had finally grown tired of it and decided I was going to move 3D printing into the 21st century and add a GUI based server! These are my notes: Parts: Prusa i3 MK3 (kit) Raspberry Pi 2 B 32 GByte SD Card Ethernet cable USB Printer cable Mico USB power plug (>1Amp) All of which I already owned. Getting the server running and configured: Downloaded OctoPrint .img file (OS) Downloaded belenaEtcher (Flash OS images to SD card) Flashed the .img onto the SD Plug in cables, SD, power Find the server (File Explorer->Network->OctoPrint) right click, properties Browse to the IP and follow the setup instructions And that was pretty much it! Way simpler than I thought it would be. Okay, giving up on blogger and just going to write it in google docs...
