EZPi-Octopi (Raspberry Pi 3B ) Upgrade to (CR10 3D Printer)

Post by bob195558 »

EZPi - Octopi Upgrade to my CR10 3D Printer

Printing Part5_db.jpg

This upgrade is very good to do as it allows you to have remote access to your 3D Printer
and having a USB Web Cam you can help to have visual monitoring in-real-time of your printing job.

   List of Parts Used

1) Raspberry Pi 3B
2) Raspberry Case with Fan and Cooling Heatsink: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhmjlL3Pkhs).

  I used:(https://hobbyking.com/en_us/15w-3a-usb-charger-1.html).

7) Ethernet connection.
8) USB Web Camera (Logitech c270).

If you are seeing pauses of the data transmission from your pi to your 3D Printer,
this info may be a help to understanding why it is happening:

Here is a newer upgrade for running Octoprint:
EZPi R4+ V2 – Octoprint Kit – 3D Printer Network Controller from TH3D store.
It dose cost more then if you purchased the parts separately,
but if you have difficulty getting it all to work together,
this upgrade kit is very good and it comes with very good support too.
