Yes, there are people who have had more than one printer run off a single Raspberry Pi, but I wouldn’t recommend it, plus these little single board computers are not expensive! Raspberry Pi Octoprint can run on a variety of systems, but the most popular and convenient option for most people is to dedicate a Raspberry Pi to the task. Follow this guide to see how quick and easy it can be to get up and running with your Octopi powered 3d printing! What you need to run Octoprint Installing Octoprint need not be a chore on Mac or Windows. A Long Cable: 100cm/3.28ft extension cable included, long enough for mounting the camera, especially useful when you don?t want to place the camera near the Raspberry Pi.Octopi is a fantastic system for running your 3D printers remotely, using a Raspberry Pi, including built in webcam and time lapse features.Focus Controllable: A camera focus control plugin has been developed to control an Arducam motorized focus camera using the OctoPrint Control tab, which utilizes custom commands from your slicer to adjust focus while printing.

Motorized Focus: See closer and easier than the fixed focus (1 m to infinity) lens, the minimum focal length is about 5CM, which is better to monitor the 3D printer nozzle and make you pay close attention to your creation.

Hassle Free: Works as a native Raspberry Pi camera on Raspberry Pi 4/3B+/3 and more, and Arducam has solved the problems with the installation and setup on OctoPi.

Fortunately, Arducam can help you solve all installation and setup problems.įor more details, please refer to our Doc page: Features

Since most cameras are not made specifically for the use of 3D printing software, it is impossible to obtain proper support from the manufacturer. Using an Arducam camera to monitor 3D printing can make you pay close attention to your creation. Most 3D models take more than a few hours to print, so you may wish to leave the 3D printer at some point in the printing process.
