Octoprint Raspberry 4B + 4K webcam guide and the latest great plugins
Рет қаралды 196,006
Күн бұрынOctoprint is great! It’s even better on a Raspberry Pi 4B, with very fast boot, restart, installation of plugins/updates and enough grunt to run a 4K camera. In this video, I give an updated guide for this combo. I also give an overview of some great new plugins in the Octoprint repo. Which recent plugins are you enjoying most?

Great run down Michael. I remember the previous one you did, great to see an update. I still run RPi 3b+ on each of my 3 printers and the are still working perfectly. OctoPrint is a god send for printers, I can't imagine printing without it. I do use a 4B for Kodi in the lounge and never put a fan on it yet, just heatsinks.

Just wanted to thank you for all your videos. Helped me a lot to get started with printing. And your octoprint videos finally convinced me to buy a new pi and set it up....What to say, best thing I have done to the printer so far. Now everything is so less hassle like moving, uploading and monitoring :)

Great video! I wouldn't go without a Raspberry Pi and Octoprint on my printers now. One of my favorite plugins is Exclude Region. It allows you to exclude a portion of the print area mid-print inside of the Gcode tab. This is fantastic if you're printing multiple parts and one has a failure (detaches from the bed, failed support material etc.) as it lets you exclude printing that part without killing the entire print.

As a first time owner of a 3D-printer (CR-10S Pro V2), I was struggling a bit with leveling. After setting up OctoPi and BedVisualizer, it's a lot easier to see the low spots on the bed and where to put the model to get the best result. I also enjoy AstroPrint, as it allows me to check on the print from anywhere 👍

Nice! Apart from what was already mentioned in you videos, I really like some simple but handy plugins. "Auto Terminal Input" focuses the command input when switching to the terminal tab. "Gcodebar Plugin" adds small gcode input to the sidebar for quick access. "Active Filters Extended" saves terminal filters status between page reloads. "Terminal Commands Extended" allows to add custom gcode command buttons to the terminal tab.

New beta firmware for the Pi4 allows USB boot with no SD card. In case anyone is running a plugin that writes often to the sd card in the pi, this is a very good thing. As using an SSD or even spinning media will last longer, and in some cases will be faster. I will be testing this out soon myself, for octopi and other things I run on Pis here. :)

There are several plug-in's that I find useful: Custom Control Editor allows me to create control buttons to auto home all 3 axis, pre-heat the bead and tool, then I have buttons for each position used for tramming (leveling) the bed. Navbar Temp does what it says. Autoselect selects the print that was just uploaded. OctoPrint-ipOnConnect this displays the ip address that your router assigned on the LCD display, does not work with Monoprice Select Mini but does work with Marlin and Repetier based printers. This was handy when I got a new router although I could have logged into the router or used Angry IP scanner to find the new IP address.

PrintJobHistory is a new plugin that's nifty to store details of your past prints, including a snapshot of the finished print from your webcam. DisplayLayerProgress adds progress info on the top bar like what's your current layer and print height vs the total expected for the print. UltimakerFormatPackage adds a snapshot of the model you're currently printing in the State section, where the snapshot is taken from Cura. Also, the Prusa thumbnail plugin seems to work with Cura as well, or at least with UltimakerFormatPackage as I am able to show the same snapshot that the latter displays.

Another terrific look into using Octoprint with a Raspberry Pi. I have been circling this concept for personal use for the past year but have held back. I have a Surface Pro 1 with Win 10 installed and would like to make use of it instead of buying the Raspberry Pi. I took note of your reservations about using Win 10 because of automatic updates but after Googling, " Win 10 stop updates" I got this info. How to disable; a. automatic updates using Settings b. automatic updates using Group Policy c. updates using Registry Being certain that you are aware of these actions I am wondering if these choices are just not reliable in your experience.

You may not need to know your Raspberry Pi's IP address. The Pi supports "mDNS" which is a dynamic host resolution protocol. By default, the OctoPi will name itself "octopi.local" (the ".local" triggers host resolution via mDNS). In your browser you can just use the hostname "octopi.local" ... some browsers require the "" prefix (e.g. "octopi.local"). You can rename the OctoPi (especially useful if you run more than one on your network). Note that mDNS requires that your computer and your Pi be on the same local subnet (mDNS queries will not cross subnet boundaries on a router). This also means that if you set up a VPN so you can remotely access your Pi to check on print jobs, the ".local" naming convention wont work when you are away.

Even when changing filaments during a print, it allows you to select the new spool during a pause) Navbar Temperature plugin (Put the temps at the top navbar area to always show the temps) Bed Visualizer (Give a nice representation of the mesh during bed leveling with the BLTouch and other sensors) LayerDisplay (Shows what layer you are on in the print) Heater Timeout (Turns tool and bed heat off after the set timeout) AutoLogout Plugin (If you have multiple people using the printer with accounts, you can have it auto log people out if they forget to logout)

I don't know if this is still true, but I think that by default octopi will configure your pi so you can access your PI on your network without knowing the ip address. It uses the host name of your pi, so likely "octopi.local" should be the address. This doesn't work across the board, but if you have the apple "bonjour" installed on your windows box it should be able to find it. With phones it's hit and miss. the phone needs to have similar capabilities installed on the device. On linux it's called "avahi". tldr; if you have an octopi install on your local network try going to 'octopi.local' as the address in your browser and you might not need the ip address.

Is it possible to use one pi for several printers or is it just one pi per printer? I have a coupe of old 90s USB camera lying around, Will they work with a Raspberry pi?

Can I please ask how many cameras can this setup handle? I have been restoring and old car for decades. It has upgraded everything and I’d love too have a multi camera setup at some stage along with other security precautions.

Hi Michael... I have a 3B+ connected to the 5Ghz AP of my home and the Picam performance is absolutely horrible, even at low resolution and FPS. There's a huge 10+ seconds delay between any action and the action appearing in the Webcam window. It's absolutely horrible. I think it's a problem with the wireless bandwidth because with a LAN cable performance was much better. I've even tried using Restreamer to reencode the slow ffmpeg to h264 but it's also pretty slow, it buffers a lot. How do you have your cam configured so it works OK even with a 4K camera over Wi-Fi? I hope you can shed some light on this issue of mine. And thank you for your videos!

Just a thought - try changing to connect to your 2.4ghz network. Wireless networking is shoddy and sometimes going to the longer range and better penetration option fixes things.

@@StumblingBumblingIdiot I purchased an AC1200 wireless dongle and a 2 meter usb cable extension to put the dongle close to my router and it works fine now. It was a Wi-Fi issue. OctoPrint devs are working on HLS for the Webcam so hopefully that will improve bandwidth limits and latency.

Michael do you notice any downgrade in quality when you print from Octoprint instead of printing from SD Card?
@Idklol603 2 жыл бұрын
Some people have not, but I did notice some small over and under extruding, and other inconsistencies. They are pretty rare and aren’t that bad.

Several notes. There is no longer an issue with the latest Windows 10 builds (Pro or Home) rebooting without your permission. Transferring files by "SD card sneaker net" is tantamount to the old days of moving files by floppy disk. It's legacy and has been outdated for a number of years. It's surprising that printer manufactures and the open-source community is not up to speed. It's not difficult. Prior to the Windows 10 issue, now an excuse, USB/serial connectivity was an issue, but that was resolved years ago. For example, I have USB tethered my Brook Drumm Printrbot for over 2 years without any connectivity issues, and this is using an older 8-bit board. Octoprint. Install SAMBA (Linux) for your PI to be recognized as a network device. Create the share and you can move your STL files directly to the SD card on the PI. Do an Octoprint SAMBA search to find a number of tutorials. When I design in Fusion 360, I can quickly - in real time - move my design iterations to my tethered Printrbot via USB or by Octoprint. Run my tests, and go back and forth between Fusion 360, CURA, and the Printrbot seamlessly with full G-code/printer manual adjustments saving me a lot of time and frustration. I can not do this with my Prusa MKIIs without Octoprint and then there are still G-Code limitations with the Firmware. It's time to raise the "community" expectations requesting manufacturers to build in networking features with each printer. It's evolution, not innovation.

I keep getting a "write error message" when I try to download Octopi 0.18.0 to sd card? any ideas for me please?
@Powertampa 3 жыл бұрын
Just fyi you may want to resize the partition after install so you use the full SD card rather than just the space of the image

According to the octopi web page (and me checking the file system after my install on my RPi4), the octopi install does this automatically on initial run.
