Is there a way to make a raspberry pi do all the leg work so the printer can focus on movement and the nozzle?

    OctoPrint is the snappy web interface for your 3D printer!

  • You can get Octoprint which will just send the Gcode to your printer and give you a ton of options and extensibility with plugins, such as Smart Plug integration, webcam, remote access, AI-powered print failure detector, and more. I do this with all of my 3d printers and it adds so much functionality that I can't imagine life without it. However, this is still just sending the printer GCode, and won't really offload that much work off your printer compared just printing off an SD Card. If you have a 3d printer with a 32 bit mainboard, there shouldn't be any need to offload resources from the mainboard because it does have plenty of power.
