![]() On board there is 1G bytes of RAM, a 100 Mbits Ethernet port and 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chip. The Raspberry Pi 3 B is based on the BCM2837 SoC from Broadcom which contains 4 ARM Cortex A53 cores running at 1.2 GHz. It will certainly be easier and quicker especially for newcomers. If OctoPrint is to be run on a Raspberry Pi only, then installing the OctoPi Linux image on an SD card is probably the best route. There's really nothing new here, as for the most part I followed the instructions in the Setting up OctoPrint on a Raspberry Pi running Raspbian or Raspberry Pi OS guide by Gina Häußge (foosel) who is the creator of OctoPrint. ![]() In other words, this is a practice run before the final installation of OctoPrint on a single-board computer that is not a Raspberry Pi. Given that the octoprint package will be moved to either a Rock Pi S or an Orange Pi Zero, I proceeded with a manual installation of OctoPrint as a Python package in a Python 3 virtual environment even on the Raspberry Pi 3 B. This post is a description of how I installed OctoPrint and MJPG-Streamer on a Raspberry Pi 3 B. Consequently, the printer has been banished to a storage space behind a closed door at a safe distance from my work area. The printer has one unfortunate feature that is apparently shared with many others: the noise level when turned on is too high for continued use near my desktop computer. ![]() There will undoubtedly be more posts about that later. The range of my interests has expanded with the purchase of a 3D printer, the ANYCUBIC Mega Zero, that was highly praised especially given its very low cost.
