Octoprint pi zero w10/31/2023 ![]() All the pi sees is that parallel data is available. For Outsourced, The UART takes serial and converts it to parallel in hardware. I'm using an external hub since I need 2 usb ports. Just be aware of netork traffic and CPU intensive stuff.Īgree big time with cpu maxed out at 100% when rendering. So the Zero W is absolute a possibility, especially for the price. That is another reason to keep it running. It takes around 5 minutes for the Zero W to start up and settle with CPU usage under 50%. I keep Octoprint / Octopi running 24/7 though. I do have a Tasmota Sonoff S20 to control the printer, so I can turn it off if I see something going wrong. I have been using it with telegram to observe long prints from work. ![]() To have easy buttons to move printhead/bed around. I do not capture printing video anyway I have Octoprint to allow me to easily upload files from Cura to the printer (Octoprint) avoiding the memory card swap, to see the progress and time estimates, to cancel a print. So no camera on the Pi, get a standalone IP camera. Its biggest problem is supposedly CPU usage with wireless data transfer while printing.

Enter, the Prusa i3 MK3/S/S+ Raspberry Pi Zero W Upgrade Kit. But that is besides the point we needed a better way of transferring files. She mentioned something about her feet aching when she walked between the computer station and the printer station. Elf #8, Hermine - one of the originals, decided she was tired of constantly transferring files between the work computer and our Prusa MK3S+ via the SD card.
