We set up OctoPi on a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B with a HD Webcam for our Original Prusa i3 MK3.
Here is a video of the complete setup and and the printing of the Raspberry Pi case showing OctoPi in action.
Make sure to select 1080p HD as your video resolution in your YouTube window – Settings – Quality.
Gina Häußge created and maintains OctoPrint, a snappy web interface for 3D printers octoprint.org. We downloaded OctoPi, a Raspbian based SD card image for the Raspberry Pi that already includes OctoPrint and everything required to run it, which is maintained by Guy Sheffer.
We purchased a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B (33,99 EURO) with a Power Supply (8.99 EURO), a SanDisk Extreme 32GB Micro-SDHC card (22.99 EURO), and a Logitech C920 HD Webcam (39,00 EURO) with a Cullmann Alpha 15 Mini Tripod with Ball Head (6,99 EURO) for a total of 112 EURO from Amazon and it took us under 30 minutes to set it up.
We downloaded and installed etcher etcher.io to burn the OctoPi image to the SD card.
Prusa Research by Josef Prusa www.prusa3d.com actively supports OctoPrint. A Raspberry Pi Zero W can be added to their 3D printers and they provide a customized image of OctoPi www.prusa3d.com/download-prusaprint for their printers. The printer profile we created is based on the settings provided by Prusa Research in their customized image of OctoPi.
We downloaded and printed the Raspberry PI case for B+/2 & 3 Vers. 2.1 from dktosoch on thingiverse (see attribution tag on bottom of page) www.thingiverse.com/thing:2398913.
