Troubleshooting link: For troubleshooting tips regarding the full Wi-Fi setup, you could check out the Full Wi-Fi setup guide from the forum. Ethernet cable (though some people get by with wifi-only), USB power cable (recommend 2.1A or higher PSU), and USB cable to Lulzbot mini (three things) are all I have connected to the Pi, as it is solely dedicated to the printer in this use. Mac setup link: For installing OctoPrint on Mac, you could get further details here on the official OctoPrint forum. I’ve even added a raspi cam to it, to do timelapse and monitor over wifi.
#OCTOPRINT FOR MAC SOFTWARE#
I never have encountered a single problem related to software hangs, etc. In the upper right hand corner of your screen, click on the wifi. The two things that I think would be slightly more challenging with a Mac setup would be the install/setup (follow this guide) and camera support. Connect to your Raspberry Pi from a Mac Using Ethernet 1.
Not sure if that is what you wanted to hear as a suggestion though.įor what it’s worth, I’ve been using a raspberry pi b+ (first generation SoC, so it’s not nearly as fast as rpi2 or rpi3 models) for over a year, and it has been bullet-proof for running printer jobs on a Lulzbot Mini. It definitely is possible (I actually develop plugins on an octoprint instance running on a MacBook Pro). The web interface that OctoPrint uses has a pause feature (though I admit I never have used it). gcode to an old raspberry pi running OctoPi (OctoPrint) to control the actual printer. I use Cura on a Mac to slice models, and then upload the. Next time I will quit all other applications before I start the print. I have tried not using the computer for other tasks during printing but it still hangs. So far I have only had to change filament during a print for a new spool once! Without stopping the printer! I don’t want to do this very often! To continue printing I have to “force quit” both windows and restart Cura. Look in your Windows settings to check for this issue. You will likely see Microsoft and/or Mac in this list also. (Mac spinning color wheel.) The print comes out fine, as long as I don’t run out of filament, and the progress bar advances normally. OctoPrint provides access to extensive customization options, and provides data that experienced Makers can used to fine tune the performance of their printer and OctoPrint itself. However, when doing long (12 hr +/-) prints Cura becomes non-responsive after an hour or two. I particularly wanted the “pause” feature so I could more completely use up a spool before starting another. I have been using Cura 19.12 for a couple of months now.
