OctoPrint for 3D Printing - A Simple Set Up Tutorial

very nicely presented . thanks for sharing

Thank you very much...not. You lost me at octopi.local. Cant reach the page, and you dont give any options on how to do this. As if I know any of this

I wish Raspberry pi was more available in Germany, seems i cant get a zero w for less than 30€

Why does the GUI on my install have a black background and a blue header? Manual controls work correctly, I can't find certain settings, etc... where did I mess up???

Content good - at least the little I could stand to sit through. Incredibly distracting/obnoxious drumbeat soundtrack crap forced me to choose between bailing out at under a minute, or trying to reach through the screen and choke something. WTF is it that makes people think there needs to be some stupid background music (that's NEVER actually in the background, and is only VERY rarely anything fit to be called "music") on an instructional video???

Do you have any recommendations on how to access the interface while not on your home network? I have read where there are a slew of security issues for this, but I am wanting to be able to monitor/control my prints from work.

Hi what are the audio book called I’m in U.K. and the link doesn’t show the books

Thanks Dude!!!!

Having issues w/ install. I purchased a CanaKit off of Amazon. It is a PI 4B w/ 64 gig SD. After flashing card w/ Etcher with latest OctoPrint. I see code load , then I all I see is a blank screen. Is Octoprint a stand alone modified OS for the PI

bummer they must have changed something. that octopi-wpa-supplicant.txt file isnt in that boot folder when you flash the os to a micro sd anymore. they've switched to their own software that saves the whole step of downloading, unzipping, and flashing as well. i've searched the boot folder and the overlays folder like crazy looking for that wpa sup file and its just not there. is there another way to set the internet access up?

Just got Octopi set up and running on my Raspberry Pi 4.
This video sort of helped..... The instructions on the OctoPrint website are very different to yours and I think a lot easier to do.

This video might need an update as OctoPrint now suggest to use Raspberry Pi imager which takes care of the WiFi settings also.

Like your videos Nils ( Nordic ancestors?) I’m preparing for my first 3D printer and really appreciate your down to earth advices and reviews. Keep the comin as U got yourself a new subscriber

so im new to printing. got a Longer LK5 pro set up. got octo print set up. sliced the pi enclosure print in cura and estimated a 5 hour print. Loaded it into octoprint and started printing and is now saying 17 hours. is this user error or a common issue?

i usually enjoy these videos but that music had me lgoing crazy cuz i though somethiung else was playing it. its too distracting when im trying to listen to what youre saying. mainly because it was terrible

why isn't etcher in the links to download somone help

Anyone know what's up with the rasberry pi prices?

Lololol I thought I never had to pick another pi up again and do a bunch of bullshit on it.........and then I need another one for 3D printing. You win this round raspberry pi

Thx, Kimi. There is life after F1...the 3D printing:-)

no talking about power off corupting sd card here :S

When you said "don't use Notepad" did you really mean "don't use WORD"? I thought that Notepad would be the ideal "basic" text editor for the job.

Wtf is that popping in audio

Great Video! - I just have a few questions around the Pi. I've recently discovered a very old 2011, what I believe to be PI 1B in my loft. Will this be sufficient for running octoprint with a camera? From some of my other research people were saying it had issues, but seeing as you displayed one, I wanted to get your opinion.

Does the camera plugin work for all the pis? or do only some pis allow for camera?

you might want to update prices on the Raspberry Pi, RP4 is about all you can find and that is on ebay going for $110 and up

I followed these steps but had zero luck ($150 later due to Pi prices). I downloaded Bonjour for Windows, put in the address, nothing happens. There's nothing on my 3D printer either. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? (I will also add that the steps to put Octoprint on the SD card are VERY different now. You cannot do it the way you demonstrated in the video.)

this video is outdated and doesn't work

I followed all your steps, but there must be something funky on my PC (Dell). Everything works until I try to connect the PC to the Pi. I’ve tried re-doing everything from scratch, made SURE each component is connected to my WiFi, double checked IP address, changed micro SD card, installed Bonjour on the PC, and even loaded iTunes (because it uses Bonjour), but still can’t get the PC to see the Pi via the IP address or local. Any suggestions?

I could not find a raspberry pie less than 140 bucks. I ended up having to buy the pi400 cause I wasn’t paying scalper prices. Hopefully it works okay when it gets here

This is awesome. Wish I knew about this before raspberry pi became unavailable basically anywhere..

Anyone know where I can get a raspberry PI compatible with all this this links are sold out.

Neat video, thanks.
Soon I will need it. (waiting for my RP4 to arrive, will be here only in a few weeks..
due to the shortage of chips, there is almost no RP available on the original 35$ price, today the prices are 4 times larger.

Question: do you know Arc Welder tool/plugin for octoprint?
(allows to smoth printing)
Do you have any advise on it?

Greetings from the Galilee.

Wow the price differences lol

Nice video. Product links are broken or obsolete

🔥💕👌👍

I couldn’t find it anywhere on the octopi website… does the raspberry pi zero w work for this

Do I need to flash bootloader to my ender 5 before I can use octoprint?

Any "major" differences in speed from Raspberry Pi early gens to current gens for 3D printing?

is the Raspberry Pi 3B+ powerful enough to run octo and all the plugins ? thanx

for some reason, I get it to work, and I come back to my pc after the print finishes and it won't work.
This happened millions of times when I tried to get it up and running in the first place.
Octoprint just won't load.

Edit: It's more frustrating than helpful.

has the pricing changed? i am worried of buying a used one and the Pi's on Amazon are running close to $200-$250 for the maxed-out ones. any idea where to get a better deal?

Raspberry pi has increased in price by 265% since this video was uploaded.

Actually they go up to > $200 today, but stocks are supposed to be replenished by mid-year and hopefully the scalpers will fade into oblivion

does wordpad work?

I finally got it by rewatching the video over and over. Lol👍👍 thank you.

Hi! I'm 72 and just getting back into 3D printing.
I taught it in one of my senior shop classes for a while before I retired in '17. BOY!! Have things advanced.?!
I got a Raspberry Pi 4b at home in Oz but it was quite a bit more expensive down here!
I've struggled to understand how to connect the Pi to my Creality CR10 for a few months. Every other vid I've sat through omits the simple but VITAL step of plugging the Pi into my printer's brain with the USB cable supplied with my Pi starter kit!!
Many vids ask you to dismantle and hard wire stuff on the mothewrboard....and they skip the simple step you showed me.

Thanks a lot for your easy to follow guide to getting online with my print capability. I'll let you know how I progress....or not!!

Does the camera also register print failures with octoprint ?

I was thinking This is going to be a LOT of steps until I realized my printer doesn't have a usb b connection so I'm already done! :)

hi I did all the steps but octopi.local just won't load. Can you please tell me the issue, and by the way I am on a MAC

Teşekkür ederim çok yardimci oldu çok profesyonel açıkladın.

Devamlı baskı için de bir video yapabilirsen çok yararlı olucak.
