Anyone else use a Raspberry Pi for printer control/monitoring?
I'm using the MonoPrice rebranding of that printer, did you modify it to use a raspberry pi or is that a different printer?I've been using Octoprint for awhile and it's really nice however I did run in to issues with my Pi randomly shutting off and figured out it was a voltage problem. Very frustrating when your 13 hours in to a print. They do have support for a webcam and time-lapse capabilities though which is nice. Especially if you can set it up to be view-able outside of your local network.
I just got in to reefing but I'll be printing reef solutions soon enough. Already have plans for a custom overflow cover and some frag racks. I've seen some people print clear PETG or ABS shells for hermit crabs which are awesome.
I'm printing with a Wanhao Duplicator I3 V2.1 which is awesome out of the box and cheap. Prints are great but to get pristine quality or higher temps you'll need to do some modding but that's all part of the fun.

Raspberry pi is the way to go. Don't bother tethering to a computer. If the computer has any problems then it will ruin the printThanks, I haven't tried using the USB connection yet, I've just been putting the .gcode files on the SD card. I'm hoping to setup a webcam and possibly setup remote printing.
A family member (who is kind of a technology hipster) gave me his 3d printer project to finish. Sounds cooler than it is. This Prusa Mendel i1 has been on a shelf for a few years....
LolCould one please elaborate on what exactly a "technology hipster" is?
I'm having fun with the color changing pla
I was wondering about that yesterday, thinking it would be a similar degradation as glow in the dark materials.Just a heads up, it'll stop changing color after a while
