OctoPrint 3D printer control and monitoring software installed and tested on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, demonstrated with a Monoprice Mini Select V2 3D printer. You can learn more about Octoprint / Octopi on its website here:
You can download my 3D printed Pi Zero and camera mount from Thingiverse…
Thanks a lot, it was very interesting. I've learn many things. Personnaly I use
– Raspberry PI zero 2W for MotionEye and Backup on differents WebSite (for Recovery is case of dammage).
– Raspberry PI Zero W for checking my mailbox (from french Post) with a ATtiny
– Raspberry PI 3 for Jeedom domotics
– Raspberry PI 400 on the main TV to share videos, documents and games
I'm pretty sure when I set mine up I didn't have to configure OctoPrint at all (other than setting up SSH and WiFi). Instead, I configured Cura, connected Cura to OctoPrint and everything was configured from Cura. Added advantage is that you can print directly from Cura, and you get a bigger display from the camera in Cura.
Great work! Always like seeing your videos.
Great article. I've ben considering getting a budget 3d printer like the Monoprice model, and wondered if there is a ny value in using an application such as OctoPi. I now have an idea what to expect with regards to printing quality and versatility of using a Pi Zerw 2.0 for a host. Thank you!
A rather long title for this video, but worth it.
I spy the 3D printed lucky cat and the stormtrooper helmet from the previous video on your desk. What do I win?
Very nice application. I can't wait to get my hands on a raspberry pi someday soon… After the shortages get sorted.
Hi Christopher. Do you have a link to that Zerocam?
Can you make a video on different types of motherboard chipsets? It would really help given the current situation.
Benchy is a great old standard for dialing in your printer and slicer settings. This one looks cold and overextruded to me but it's hard to tell from the video. I don't think supports are allowed in olympic freestyle benchies either. How it fails on the overhangs is informative. But we'll let the suave presenter slide on that one since he makes nice videos and gives friendly names to sharpened tools.
I'd try another about 10-15 degrees hotter and look for a setting labeled something like 'extrusion multiplier' in your slicer and set it at 90% or .9 (so it uses 10% less filament). If it looks cleaner you might check your extruder calibration.
It's nice they made an upgraded pi zero that runs octoprint but they seem a little proud of pi's these days.
Cheers to Chris and the channel…
Another fine video, well-presented, with great content.
You showed how good the ‘OctoPrint’ software is, and how much it can help with one’s 3D printing.
As usual, at the end of the video, you asked viewers to ‘Hit Like, and Subscribe’.
And as usual (for 99.999% of YouTubers) not one word about the author of the software.
Not one word about “Created & maintained by Gina Häußge”.
Not one word about how Gina Häußge, as so many FOSS authors, depends on donations to fund her work.
Yours is a powerful voice in the software/hardware space, as proven by your subscriber count.
You should spare a few moments to encourage users of the software to consider donating to the authors of FOSS works, how even a dollar/euro/pound/lira can help.
How if you one actually uses FOSS software to make money, they should consider a monthly/yearly donation. Again, even small amounts can help.
But no, you even shut down the anonymous data that she uses to help keep track of uses/problems/etc, with a rather snide “Sorry about that”.
Shame on you, Sir. Shame on you.
Hi Chris. I purchased a 3D Printer last year and I still haven't got it out of the box! I intend to use it at first to make items such as lineside cabinets to go on my Hornby Trakmat Layout. Railway Modelling is a good use for a 3D printer, so maybe you should take it up? A good gauge for you to go for would be TT gauge which is 3mm to the foot. The track you need is called HOm and is made by Peco and is available from Hattons. Loads of things to 3D print and loads more videos for you to make! Thanks for uploading. See Garry Hall's layout: https://youtu.be/DMeg9-Hu3SI
That's about the coolest pi zero 2 video yet, and there are plenty cool ones out there! Still on the fence what my next project will be, and this one has complicated the conundrum!! 😄☘️❤️
Love your content… but holy moly that print is nozzle is either clogged or extruder skipping and under-extruding horribly….
Is it possible to have a pi controlling Android Auto?
And connected wirelessly to a phone?
Imager will not install to Ubuntu studio 18.4
That was fascinating, not sure I can see a personal use for a 3d printer as yet but times change.
My friend,
Do you have any video on dual drives usb flash drive type-c that can be used in both a pc and a phone?
Thanks for your kind support!
I came here only for you! but this ting with raspberry is out of control…!
The thing I really enjoy about your channel is the nostalgic feel of a late night Open University video on BBC2

Thank you for this clip! I own a Flashforge Finder printer, that is closed source and didn't use to work with octoprint; Due to your clip, I gave it a new shot and lo-and-behold , a plugin that works has been written! Thank you and the developer of the plugin!
Thanks!
That will be mine next items to get? A 3D printer? They so many and everyone does their things? And the octoprint /camera will come in handy sent 3D printer are slow.
Thanks man, your calm voice is perfect for those technical topics
You must have a wealth of knowledge in computers. Amazing setup. What has happened to Stanley the Knife?
tea is better than coffee – fight me
Food for algorithm 😉
Ooo look a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W, I thought they are mythical things like unicorns!
Most of the suppliers I’ve tried don’t have them in stock and those that do are asking ‘mythical’ prices for them.

Whats the point anymore?
Another great video, well done Chris. The one thing I'm waiting for on the 3d print scene is speed. Hopefully the print times will reduce drastically, I haven't seen any sign of it yet I think the average for benchy is about 4 hours? Anyone know if or when speed times will decrease? Loved the little camera mount it's amazing what you can build.
Get a better printer, the print quality is so bad🤣
I wonder if one day it'll be possible to make a DIY CRT display at home, since we're able to print an increasing amount of things and materials. I do realise that literally printing a glass tube is probably impossible due to the nature of the materials and the required accuracy but I do hope that somehow CRT monitors can be made again. Christopher, if you have something to say about this I would love to hear it. Hope you don't mind me asking… ^^;
Ooh 64 bit Raspberry Pi!
That's going to be an excellent video
Nicely explained, thanks for sharing 🙂
In the latest version of the Pi Imager the options icon is now always visible (previously only when the program was maximized …). No need for Ctrl+Shift+X anymore ^^
Thanks!
Thanks! Don't change anything. Just keep teaching us in the same excellent manner as you always have! Thanks and thanks again!!!
5:52 I saw a telemetry setting in there. I wish those were off by default
I managed to score a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W (maybe the last one in North America, for all I know!) and was able to get OctoPi running on it and controlling my Creality Ender 3 v2. In printing a case for the Pi Zero I was reminded of one of the most vexing things about 3D printing, which is that the filament may not come off of the spool cleanly. It will bind and may cause the print to fail. Nothing like coming in to a printer that has quite happily printed air for the last hour! I suspect that I am not alone with this. Do you know of a (hopefully) simple fix for this?
By the way, as with most all of your videos, this one was well researched and well presented and much appreciated.
I'm watching my printer with Octoprint now, built and set up to your instructions.
It's saving me from going to the garage in the snow.
I'm printing a wedge so I can screw your frame design to the printer frame with T slot fasteners pointing down as it's an enclosed coreXY printer as it's currently showing a lot of the top of the little tent it lives in.
perfect
I love that you use a 4:3 or 5:4 monitor :')
Very imformative, I'm not technical and find it fascinating how you manage these demonstrations. I was thinking of buying a Raspberry Pi and wondering what uses you could use them for. A nice idea.
