as a bonus, it does a timelapse which I really cant think of much use for if the print went according to plan, so I uploaded one smile

I've gotten both to work.  The second one was more work but is offers better control.

If it works out, I will have it set up to also stream a live video of the print and/or record time-lapse video.

Has anyone else done anything like this before? I am mainly concerned with getting the printer to communicate with the Rpi. I am not very familiar with the limitations of linux. My printer operates with a RAMBo v1.3 board and I use MatterControl for slicing, although it might be easier to figure some way to do the slicing on another computer first since the Rpi may not be able to handle some larger slicing jobs. I don't know - lot of unknowns - any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
