  • octo4a

    Use your old Android device as an OctoPrint server.

  • Just get an old android phone. That way you'll get a really high-quality screen and camera, and most likely it'll offer better performance than a raspberry pi. Octo4a makes it really easy; there shouldn't be any 'hacking' required.

  • obico-server

    Obico is a community-built, open-source smart 3D printing platform used by makers, enthusiasts, and tinkerers around the world.

  • I wouldn't say that. As soon as we can see a justifiable interest, we (the obico team) hope to deliver a board with an easily installable image for OctoPrint, ideally using the raspberry pi imager, within a month or so.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • octoprint_install

    Discontinued Bash script for installing OctoPrint and webcam streamer

  • It can be made close to trivial. I made an installation script that will do single instance (https://github.com/paukstelis/octoprint_install) or multi-instance (https://github.com/paukstelis/octoprint_deploy). The biggest draw back of the armbian machines is using a monitor/keyboard/mouse to make a user and setup wifi. The OctoPrint part is easy.

  • octoprint_deploy

    Bash script for rapid deployment of multiple octoprint instance on a single machine

  • It can be made close to trivial. I made an installation script that will do single instance (https://github.com/paukstelis/octoprint_install) or multi-instance (https://github.com/paukstelis/octoprint_deploy). The biggest draw back of the armbian machines is using a monitor/keyboard/mouse to make a user and setup wifi. The OctoPrint part is easy.
