Topic: Octoprint - that's pretty neat!
First of all, the quote referenced in the thread title:
I normally use an old (ancient) version of RH and slicer to crank out Filastruder hoppers. I need the Dell FX160 for an upcoming project, so I decided to try out Octoprint + a Raspberry Pi. I also added a PS3Eye camera to the mix, for print monitoring.
Steps performed:
1.) Grab the OctoPi image from here: http://octoprint.org/download/
2.) Install image to SD card with this: http://www.tweaking4all.com/hardware/ra … -pi-baker/ (if you use OSX. If not, get OSX.)
3.) Octoprint should autoload. You might need to boot into the Raspiban GUI in order to set up networking stuff. I also over clocked to TURBO SPEED.
4.) Access Octoprint from http://octopi.local.
5.) Set up for the Solidoodle:
Optional steps:
1.) Set up PS3Eye camera:
Modify the following lines of /home/pi/scripts/webcamDaemon
# init configuration
camera="usb"
camera_usb_options="-y"2.) Set up flow rate and feedrate overrides - insert the code between appearance and cura into your ~/.octoprint/config.yaml file.
appearance: {}

- children:
- command: M220 S%(speed)s

You can tell its a 3D printer because of the way that it is!
