No more moving SD cards back and forth. Adding a camera and octo everywhere takes it to another level too. I also bought a little USB light from ikea and plugged it into the raspberry pi, very useful when printing in a dark room. permalink fedilink source parent [–] theoretiker@feddit.de 2 points 3 years ago Is it only the v2 that has an USB port? I can send prints to it via cura and an USB cable without octoprint permalink fedilink source parent [–] PdeT@feddit.nl 2 points 3 years ago (1 child) Just to note, you don't need a Pi to run Octoprint. I used Octoprint Deploy to run it on a LePotato and it runs like a charm. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] deFrisselle@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 3 years ago That's a good option I've seen quite a few using the LePotato for Octoprint and Klipper I'm just glad I got a few Rpi before they dried up permalink fedilink source parent
