make your DUMB 3D printer smart with Octoprint!

Are you tired of seeing all these fancy Are you tired of seeing all these fancy pants YouTubers with these big server pants YouTubers with these big server pants YouTubers with these big server cabinets full of all this high-end cabinets full of all this high-end cabinets full of all this high-end servers, computers, switches, and more? servers, computers, switches, and more? servers, computers, switches, and more? What if? What if you want something a What if? What if you want something a What if? What if you want something a little bit smaller? There are plenty of little bit smaller? There are plenty of little bit smaller? There are plenty of awesome 10-in racks available. I got one awesome 10-in racks available. I got one awesome 10-in racks available. I got one over there. It's pretty nice. My wife over there. It's pretty nice. My wife over there. It's pretty nice. My wife once said, "Smaller is better." That's once said, "Smaller is better." That's once said, "Smaller is better." That's why I printed this. This is a 5in rack why I printed this. This is a 5in rack why I printed this. This is a 5in rack mount little server unit. And I stumbled mount little server unit. And I stumbled mount little server unit. And I stumbled across this one day when I was scurrying across this one day when I was scurrying across this one day when I was scurrying through the home lab subreddit. And here through the home lab subreddit. And here through the home lab subreddit. And here it was one of the most beautiful things it was one of the most beautiful things it was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. This is the server. It I've ever seen. This is the server. It I've ever seen. This is the server. It comes with a few things. We have, of comes with a few things. We have, of comes with a few things. We have, of course, the racks, four of them. We have course, the racks, four of them. We have course, the racks, four of them. We have the lids, two of them. And there's a the lids, two of them. And there's a the lids, two of them. And there's a couple extra things if you have those couple extra things if you have those couple extra things if you have those specific devices. Now, for me, I have a specific devices. Now, for me, I have a specific devices. Now, for me, I have a 3D printer, but it is away from my 3D printer, but it is away from my 3D printer, but it is away from my server. So, I have a separate little server. So, I have a separate little server. So, I have a separate little Raspberry Pi connected to it, which I Raspberry Pi connected to it, which I Raspberry Pi connected to it, which I run OctoPrint on, which we will get into run OctoPrint on, which we will get into run OctoPrint on, which we will get into in this video. But I wanted to put that in this video. But I wanted to put that in this video. But I wanted to put that little pie in a little rack mount little pie in a little rack mount little pie in a little rack mount server. And this thing is absolutely server. And this thing is absolutely server. And this thing is absolutely perfect. On my unit here, you can see I perfect. On my unit here, you can see I perfect. On my unit here, you can see I have two little shelf units. This one have two little shelf units. This one have two little shelf units. This one right here is actually holding these right here is actually holding these right here is actually holding these little teeny tiny 3D printed screws and little teeny tiny 3D printed screws and little teeny tiny 3D printed screws and bolts. One thing I would not recommend bolts. One thing I would not recommend bolts. One thing I would not recommend doing this, there's they're not good.

doing this, there's they're not good. doing this, there's they're not good. Don't 3D print these. Just buy the right Don't 3D print these. Just buy the right Don't 3D print these. Just buy the right size bolts. It's all on that uh the size bolts. It's all on that uh the size bolts. It's all on that uh the Maker World page. You could find the Maker World page. You could find the Maker World page. You could find the right ones. But I wanted this thing to right ones. But I wanted this thing to right ones. But I wanted this thing to be fully 3D printed. So, that's exactly be fully 3D printed. So, that's exactly be fully 3D printed. So, that's exactly what I did. And here it is. This is my what I did. And here it is. This is my what I did. And here it is. This is my 3D printed 3D printing server. This 3D printed 3D printing server. This 3D printed 3D printing server. This right here is the compute module. This right here is the compute module. This right here is the compute module. This is actually right on that page. This is is actually right on that page. This is is actually right on that page. This is for a Raspberry Pi 4. Is it perfect? No. for a Raspberry Pi 4. Is it perfect? No. for a Raspberry Pi 4. Is it perfect? No. But it's super sweet. You can see we But it's super sweet. You can see we But it's super sweet. You can see we have some airflow there on the bottom. have some airflow there on the bottom. have some airflow there on the bottom. It rack mounts right in. It has three It rack mounts right in. It has three It rack mounts right in. It has three little spots to screw it in. Comes with little spots to screw it in. Comes with little spots to screw it in. Comes with a top and it fits pretty well for the a top and it fits pretty well for the a top and it fits pretty well for the most part. Again, it's not perfect, but most part. Again, it's not perfect, but most part. Again, it's not perfect, but when I actually install it, right, and when I actually install it, right, and when I actually install it, right, and add some screws, we should be good to add some screws, we should be good to add some screws, we should be good to go. And all we really need to do to go. And all we really need to do to go. And all we really need to do to actually set this up and install it is actually set this up and install it is actually set this up and install it is pop this in and then set this on top. pop this in and then set this on top. pop this in and then set this on top. Screw it down. And check that out. Look Screw it down. And check that out. Look Screw it down. And check that out. Look how good that looks in there. This right how good that looks in there. This right how good that looks in there. This right here is a Raspberry Pi 4. For the here is a Raspberry Pi 4. For the here is a Raspberry Pi 4. For the software that we're going to be running, software that we're going to be running, software that we're going to be running, it's going to be more than enough. And I it's going to be more than enough. And I it's going to be more than enough. And I really have been spending quite a bit of really have been spending quite a bit of really have been spending quite a bit of time learning more and more about 3D time learning more and more about 3D time learning more and more about 3D printing and expanding some of the printing and expanding some of the printing and expanding some of the functionality. I even check this out.

functionality. I even check this out. functionality. I even check this out. this. I'll cover this in a different this. I'll cover this in a different this. I'll cover this in a different video, but this is going to be a 10-in video, but this is going to be a 10-in video, but this is going to be a 10-in rack, and all this is 3D printed, but rack, and all this is 3D printed, but rack, and all this is 3D printed, but we'll cover that again later. Uh, I've we'll cover that again later. Uh, I've we'll cover that again later. Uh, I've been on a journey to learn as much as I been on a journey to learn as much as I been on a journey to learn as much as I possibly can about all this stuff. And possibly can about all this stuff. And possibly can about all this stuff. And as a matter of fact, I've been on a as a matter of fact, I've been on a as a matter of fact, I've been on a journey just to learn more and more journey just to learn more and more journey just to learn more and more lately, and that's where I'm going to lately, and that's where I'm going to lately, and that's where I'm going to bring up our sponsor, Brilliant. bring up our sponsor, Brilliant. bring up our sponsor, Brilliant. Brilliant is an app right here that I Brilliant is an app right here that I Brilliant is an app right here that I actually fire up quite a bit. I try to actually fire up quite a bit. I try to actually fire up quite a bit. I try to launch this and use this instead of like launch this and use this instead of like launch this and use this instead of like doom scrolling Instagram or something doom scrolling Instagram or something doom scrolling Instagram or something like that. There's a bunch of different like that. There's a bunch of different like that. There's a bunch of different courses for math, computer science, courses for math, computer science, courses for math, computer science, data, science, logic, technology, so on data, science, logic, technology, so on data, science, logic, technology, so on so forth. And it's kind of like gamified so forth. And it's kind of like gamified so forth. And it's kind of like gamified learning. You could see all of the learning. You could see all of the learning. You could see all of the various courses or little lessons that various courses or little lessons that various courses or little lessons that I've gotten through. It's really cool. I've gotten through. It's really cool. I've gotten through. It's really cool. It has a lot of practice. So, you uh It has a lot of practice. So, you uh It has a lot of practice. So, you uh refine your knowledge and as I get more refine your knowledge and as I get more refine your knowledge and as I get more and more, it goes into like if and more, it goes into like if and more, it goes into like if statements, learning Python, bunch of statements, learning Python, bunch of statements, learning Python, bunch of stuff. It has been helping me get just a stuff. It has been helping me get just a stuff. It has been helping me get just a little bit smarter every day. Like I little bit smarter every day. Like I little bit smarter every day. Like I said, each lesson is filled with said, each lesson is filled with said, each lesson is filled with hands-on problem solving that lets you hands-on problem solving that lets you hands-on problem solving that lets you play with various concepts. A method play with various concepts. A method play with various concepts. A method that has proven to be six times more that has proven to be six times more that has proven to be six times more effective than watching just general effective than watching just general effective than watching just general lecture videos or YouTube videos, lecture videos or YouTube videos, lecture videos or YouTube videos, helping you build an understanding from helping you build an understanding from helping you build an understanding from the ground up. Engaging problems, the ground up. Engaging problems, the ground up. Engaging problems, competitive features, and daily competitive features, and daily competitive features, and daily encouragement to keep you going. Again, encouragement to keep you going. Again, encouragement to keep you going. Again, it's kind of gamified. There's points, it's kind of gamified. There's points, it's kind of gamified. There's points, leaderboards, and things like that. And leaderboards, and things like that. And leaderboards, and things like that. And I am getting better and better at it as I am getting better and better at it as I am getting better and better at it as I go, but it gets harder and harder. So, I go, but it gets harder and harder. So, I go, but it gets harder and harder. So, it it works out. So, if you want to try it it works out. So, if you want to try it it works out. So, if you want to try everything Brilliant has to offer, you everything Brilliant has to offer, you everything Brilliant has to offer, you can do it for free for 30 days using my can do it for free for 30 days using my can do it for free for 30 days using my link down below or the link on screen link down below or the link on screen link down below or the link on screen now, or just give that little QR code a now, or just give that little QR code a now, or just give that little QR code a scan and you can get 20% off an annual

scan and you can get 20% off an annual scan and you can get 20% off an annual plan if you decide to move forward with plan if you decide to move forward with plan if you decide to move forward with that. Ooh, this is another one that that. Ooh, this is another one that that. Ooh, this is another one that might be pretty cool, worth printing. might be pretty cool, worth printing. might be pretty cool, worth printing. Printables is generally what I use. It's Printables is generally what I use. It's Printables is generally what I use. It's where I found the uh files for this kind where I found the uh files for this kind where I found the uh files for this kind of modular server. This thing again is of modular server. This thing again is of modular server. This thing again is going to be really cool. I'm going to going to be really cool. I'm going to going to be really cool. I'm going to migrate all my networking equipment to migrate all my networking equipment to migrate all my networking equipment to this. But for printing all these pieces, this. But for printing all these pieces, this. But for printing all these pieces, again, it's not perfect. I don't have again, it's not perfect. I don't have again, it's not perfect. I don't have the most perfect printer, but I did the most perfect printer, but I did the most perfect printer, but I did everything with kind of a raft on the everything with kind of a raft on the everything with kind of a raft on the bottom. I think about a 20% infill and bottom. I think about a 20% infill and bottom. I think about a 20% infill and of course supports. But what I want to of course supports. But what I want to of course supports. But what I want to do real quick is actually get this do real quick is actually get this do real quick is actually get this little Raspberry Pi in here. Again, it little Raspberry Pi in here. Again, it little Raspberry Pi in here. Again, it fits very well. So, we're just going to fits very well. So, we're just going to fits very well. So, we're just going to pop that in. It's not going to have a pop that in. It's not going to have a pop that in. It's not going to have a fan on it. I could actually install a fan on it. I could actually install a fan on it. I could actually install a fan. It's cool because on the top piece fan. It's cool because on the top piece fan. It's cool because on the top piece here, we have these little cutouts. So, here, we have these little cutouts. So, here, we have these little cutouts. So, you can still access a vast majority of you can still access a vast majority of you can still access a vast majority of these uh pin headers here. So, I can these uh pin headers here. So, I can these uh pin headers here. So, I can attach a fan and play with it that way. attach a fan and play with it that way. attach a fan and play with it that way. But what I'm going to focus on now is But what I'm going to focus on now is But what I'm going to focus on now is getting this in here and getting getting this in here and getting getting this in here and getting OctoPrint installed, which OctoPrint is OctoPrint installed, which OctoPrint is OctoPrint installed, which OctoPrint is awesome because basically what it's awesome because basically what it's awesome because basically what it's going to do is make my dumb 3D printer going to do is make my dumb 3D printer going to do is make my dumb 3D printer smart. This right here is the Octoprint smart. This right here is the Octoprint smart. This right here is the Octoprint website. you have full control website. you have full control website. you have full control monitoring uh expansions or it's monitoring uh expansions or it's monitoring uh expansions or it's extendable and 100% open source and it extendable and 100% open source and it extendable and 100% open source and it it's just a service on your home it's just a service on your home it's just a service on your home network. This is I've actually been network. This is I've actually been network. This is I've actually been running it for a while but I'm still running it for a while but I'm still running it for a while but I'm still going to take you through all the steps.

going to take you through all the steps. going to take you through all the steps. Assuming you have a Raspberry Pi, but Assuming you have a Raspberry Pi, but Assuming you have a Raspberry Pi, but the process is pretty similar for other the process is pretty similar for other the process is pretty similar for other methods. If I go over here to download, methods. If I go over here to download, methods. If I go over here to download, for example, uh we have a few different for example, uh we have a few different for example, uh we have a few different options. If you use a Raspberry Pi, uh options. If you use a Raspberry Pi, uh options. If you use a Raspberry Pi, uh using the Pi Imager is a good bet. And using the Pi Imager is a good bet. And using the Pi Imager is a good bet. And if I scroll down further, if you don't if I scroll down further, if you don't if I scroll down further, if you don't have a Raspberry Pi, you can actually have a Raspberry Pi, you can actually have a Raspberry Pi, you can actually set this up in Docker, which is very set this up in Docker, which is very set this up in Docker, which is very nice. If you have an Orange Pi, you can nice. If you have an Orange Pi, you can nice. If you have an Orange Pi, you can use that as well. And then they have a use that as well. And then they have a use that as well. And then they have a deploy script for Linux. If you already deploy script for Linux. If you already deploy script for Linux. If you already have like an Ubuntu server running have like an Ubuntu server running have like an Ubuntu server running that's pretty close to your 3D printer, that's pretty close to your 3D printer, that's pretty close to your 3D printer, you can just fire it up on here and you can just fire it up on here and you can just fire it up on here and you're good to go. Additionally, if you're good to go. Additionally, if you're good to go. Additionally, if you're on Windows, they have that. And you're on Windows, they have that. And you're on Windows, they have that. And then manual installation. It all just then manual installation. It all just then manual installation. It all just runs with Python. So, you could put it runs with Python. So, you could put it runs with Python. So, you could put it on just about anything. For me, what I'm on just about anything. For me, what I'm on just about anything. For me, what I'm going to be doing is just going with the going to be doing is just going with the going to be doing is just going with the Raspberry Pi install. So, I'm going to Raspberry Pi install. So, I'm going to Raspberry Pi install. So, I'm going to grab my little SD card here and plug it grab my little SD card here and plug it grab my little SD card here and plug it into my machine. And last time I ran into my machine. And last time I ran into my machine. And last time I ran stable, but I'm going to go ahead and stable, but I'm going to go ahead and stable, but I'm going to go ahead and grab this one with the new camera stack. grab this one with the new camera stack. grab this one with the new camera stack. I do have a webcam that I plug into it I do have a webcam that I plug into it I do have a webcam that I plug into it so I can make time-lapses and things so I can make time-lapses and things so I can make time-lapses and things like that. Raspberry Pi 5 is like that. Raspberry Pi 5 is like that. Raspberry Pi 5 is unfortunately currently unsupported, but unfortunately currently unsupported, but unfortunately currently unsupported, but we're going to go ahead and grab this, we're going to go ahead and grab this, we're going to go ahead and grab this, download it. Let's save the file. So, in download it. Let's save the file. So, in download it. Let's save the file. So, in our imager here, we are going to select our imager here, we are going to select our imager here, we are going to select the device. This is going to be a the device. This is going to be a the device. This is going to be a Raspberry Pi 4. Choose the OS. I'm going Raspberry Pi 4. Choose the OS. I'm going Raspberry Pi 4. Choose the OS. I'm going to use custom since I downloaded it.

to use custom since I downloaded it. to use custom since I downloaded it. allow that. Choose the storage. We are allow that. Choose the storage. We are allow that. Choose the storage. We are doing this on the SD card I threw in doing this on the SD card I threw in doing this on the SD card I threw in there. Next. Would you like to apply there. Next. Would you like to apply there. Next. Would you like to apply some custom settings? Let's go ahead and some custom settings? Let's go ahead and some custom settings? Let's go ahead and say yes. And then continue. I didn't say yes. And then continue. I didn't say yes. And then continue. I didn't really show it. Those custom settings really show it. Those custom settings really show it. Those custom settings are built into the imager. Allows you to are built into the imager. Allows you to are built into the imager. Allows you to like preset your Wi-Fi network, like preset your Wi-Fi network, like preset your Wi-Fi network, password, uh username, and things like password, uh username, and things like password, uh username, and things like that. And boom, bada bing. Just like that. And boom, bada bing. Just like that. And boom, bada bing. Just like that, it is done. So, what I'm going to that, it is done. So, what I'm going to that, it is done. So, what I'm going to do is just pop this guy out, throw her do is just pop this guy out, throw her do is just pop this guy out, throw her into our Raspberry Pi, just like so. And into our Raspberry Pi, just like so. And into our Raspberry Pi, just like so. And the cool thing about this little 3D the cool thing about this little 3D the cool thing about this little 3D print is the author actually took into print is the author actually took into print is the author actually took into consideration the SD card, so it's still consideration the SD card, so it's still consideration the SD card, so it's still accessible there from the back if you accessible there from the back if you accessible there from the back if you need to get to it. And now I'm actually need to get to it. And now I'm actually need to get to it. And now I'm actually going to screw this down for the first going to screw this down for the first going to screw this down for the first time. So, hopefully I don't have to take time. So, hopefully I don't have to take time. So, hopefully I don't have to take it out for quite a while. And actually, it out for quite a while. And actually, it out for quite a while. And actually, a cool thing now that I'm thinking about a cool thing now that I'm thinking about a cool thing now that I'm thinking about it is this little rack mount pie thing. it is this little rack mount pie thing. it is this little rack mount pie thing. There's a lot of those out there, but I There's a lot of those out there, but I There's a lot of those out there, but I could like cut off an end and have it could like cut off an end and have it could like cut off an end and have it just kind of floating in this unit, just kind of floating in this unit, just kind of floating in this unit, which is would be pretty cool. I need to which is would be pretty cool. I need to which is would be pretty cool. I need to find some screws. There we go. Got that find some screws. There we go. Got that find some screws. There we go. Got that in there. Now, I'm going to put it into in there. Now, I'm going to put it into in there. Now, I'm going to put it into the rack with these horrible, horrible the rack with these horrible, horrible the rack with these horrible, horrible 3D screws I printed. They're way too 3D screws I printed. They're way too 3D screws I printed. They're way too long as well. Not only did I not have long as well. Not only did I not have long as well. Not only did I not have the screws available when I first the screws available when I first the screws available when I first started doing this, but I don't have the started doing this, but I don't have the started doing this, but I don't have the right tools available for the screws I right tools available for the screws I right tools available for the screws I printed. Oh. Oh, no. Do you hear that?

printed. Oh. Oh, no. Do you hear that? printed. Oh. Oh, no. Do you hear that? That means the print is slightly off. That means the print is slightly off. That means the print is slightly off. So, I got to do this very carefully or So, I got to do this very carefully or So, I got to do this very carefully or else I'm gonna have to get a new else I'm gonna have to get a new else I'm gonna have to get a new one. Now, will you check that out? All one. Now, will you check that out? All one. Now, will you check that out? All right. Got my little right. Got my little right. Got my little Canaquit Can of Kit Pie switch. Plug Canaquit Can of Kit Pie switch. Plug Canaquit Can of Kit Pie switch. Plug that right on that right on that right on in. We got some power. And now the USB in. We got some power. And now the USB in. We got some power. And now the USB for my printer. We'll plug that right on for my printer. We'll plug that right on for my printer. We'll plug that right on here in the front. And then boom. And here in the front. And then boom. And here in the front. And then boom. And just like that, you navigate to the IP just like that, you navigate to the IP just like that, you navigate to the IP address of your Raspberry Pi and you address of your Raspberry Pi and you address of your Raspberry Pi and you will be in the setup wizard. If you will be in the setup wizard. If you will be in the setup wizard. If you don't know what your IP address is, you don't know what your IP address is, you don't know what your IP address is, you can find out either by plugging this can find out either by plugging this can find out either by plugging this into a display running IPA or using your into a display running IPA or using your into a display running IPA or using your modem to figure out what it is. Now, we modem to figure out what it is. Now, we modem to figure out what it is. Now, we have the wizard here. Hello. Thank you have the wizard here. Hello. Thank you have the wizard here. Hello. Thank you for installing OctoPrint. We're going to for installing OctoPrint. We're going to for installing OctoPrint. We're going to go ahead and click on next. I'm not go ahead and click on next. I'm not go ahead and click on next. I'm not going to have any backups. This is a going to have any backups. This is a going to have any backups. This is a pretty easy installation. uh you don't pretty easy installation. uh you don't pretty easy installation. uh you don't really have to configure a lot to get it really have to configure a lot to get it really have to configure a lot to get it set up and going, but there are a ton of set up and going, but there are a ton of set up and going, but there are a ton of configuration options. So, let's go configuration options. So, let's go configuration options. So, let's go ahead and create a simple account. So, ahead and create a simple account. So, ahead and create a simple account. So, you hit create account, and then you go you hit create account, and then you go you hit create account, and then you go next. This right here is to check to next. This right here is to check to next. This right here is to check to make sure everything is up and running.

make sure everything is up and running. make sure everything is up and running. When it comes to your network When it comes to your network When it comes to your network connectivity, we're going to enable the connectivity, we're going to enable the connectivity, we're going to enable the connectivity check. Go next. Uh connectivity check. Go next. Uh connectivity check. Go next. Uh anonymous usage tracking, I enable that. anonymous usage tracking, I enable that. anonymous usage tracking, I enable that. Helps out the open source project with Helps out the open source project with Helps out the open source project with data statistics, things like that. Next, data statistics, things like that. Next, data statistics, things like that. Next, we have a plug-in blacklist. Uh, there's we have a plug-in blacklist. Uh, there's we have a plug-in blacklist. Uh, there's going to be a lot of plugins and things going to be a lot of plugins and things going to be a lot of plugins and things that you can add to it. They have a that you can add to it. They have a that you can add to it. They have a blacklist setup that is generally blacklist setup that is generally blacklist setup that is generally recommended. So, it's a good idea to go recommended. So, it's a good idea to go recommended. So, it's a good idea to go ahead and enable this so you don't ahead and enable this so you don't ahead and enable this so you don't install something that's like install something that's like install something that's like incompatible with the current version or incompatible with the current version or incompatible with the current version or just screws everything up. So, we'll go just screws everything up. So, we'll go just screws everything up. So, we'll go next. Classic webcam wizard. You just next. Classic webcam wizard. You just next. Classic webcam wizard. You just keep everything as is. If you plug in a keep everything as is. If you plug in a keep everything as is. If you plug in a webcam to a USB, which I did, and I'll webcam to a USB, which I did, and I'll webcam to a USB, which I did, and I'll show you, it should work automatically. show you, it should work automatically. show you, it should work automatically. I got a little Logitech 1080p camera. I got a little Logitech 1080p camera. I got a little Logitech 1080p camera. And now we have set up your printer And now we have set up your printer And now we have set up your printer profile. So I have a Any Cuba Cobra Max. profile. So I have a Any Cuba Cobra Max. profile. So I have a Any Cuba Cobra Max. And this is where you're going to want And this is where you're going to want And this is where you're going to want to go to the website or whatever for to go to the website or whatever for to go to the website or whatever for your 3D printer and find all the proper your 3D printer and find all the proper your 3D printer and find all the proper information. So for me, I'm going to go information. So for me, I'm going to go information. So for me, I'm going to go any cubic. And this is in fact the Cobra any cubic. And this is in fact the Cobra any cubic. And this is in fact the Cobra Max. All right. And then under print bed Max. All right. And then under print bed Max. All right. And then under print bed volume, I do have some things to change volume, I do have some things to change volume, I do have some things to change here. Again, there's a lot of settings.

here. Again, there's a lot of settings. here. Again, there's a lot of settings. You're going to have to dive and figure You're going to have to dive and figure You're going to have to dive and figure out what you need to change for yours. out what you need to change for yours. out what you need to change for yours. For me, it is rectangular. Lower left For me, it is rectangular. Lower left For me, it is rectangular. Lower left heated bed check. No heated chamber. I heated bed check. No heated chamber. I heated bed check. No heated chamber. I am at a uh am at a uh am at a uh 400x 400 by 450 when it comes to my 400x 400 by 450 when it comes to my 400x 400 by 450 when it comes to my printing space. And then for accesses, I printing space. And then for accesses, I printing space. And then for accesses, I believe I leave all this the same for believe I leave all this the same for believe I leave all this the same for mine. And same with this. That is my mine. And same with this. That is my mine. And same with this. That is my correct nozzle diameter. So again, it's correct nozzle diameter. So again, it's correct nozzle diameter. So again, it's going to vary wildly depending on your going to vary wildly depending on your going to vary wildly depending on your printer, but search up your specs, put printer, but search up your specs, put printer, but search up your specs, put all those in properly, and then we can all those in properly, and then we can all those in properly, and then we can hit next. Again, this is a bunch of hit next. Again, this is a bunch of hit next. Again, this is a bunch of safety stuff. Never leave it unattended. safety stuff. Never leave it unattended. safety stuff. Never leave it unattended. If it screws up, it could keep running If it screws up, it could keep running If it screws up, it could keep running and you you can run into a bad time. So and you you can run into a bad time. So and you you can run into a bad time. So I read understood. I understand. I'm not I read understood. I understand. I'm not I read understood. I understand. I'm not going to connect it to the public going to connect it to the public going to connect it to the public internet. And I do understand that they internet. And I do understand that they internet. And I do understand that they need support. So if you do feel like need support. So if you do feel like need support. So if you do feel like supporting the project, you can do that supporting the project, you can do that supporting the project, you can do that there. So let's go finish. And then it there. So let's go finish. And then it there. So let's go finish. And then it should go ahead and drop us in. We're should go ahead and drop us in. We're should go ahead and drop us in. We're going to reload it real fast. And here going to reload it real fast. And here going to reload it real fast. And here we go. So, we have my printer profile we go. So, we have my printer profile we go. So, we have my printer profile here. This is the connection kind of here. This is the connection kind of here. This is the connection kind of section. Serial port. You can auto or section. Serial port. You can auto or section. Serial port. You can auto or select it. Since it's the only one, it select it. Since it's the only one, it select it. Since it's the only one, it should just work with auto. So, if I should just work with auto. So, if I should just work with auto. So, if I click on connect here. There we go. It click on connect here. There we go. It click on connect here. There we go. It detected it. I'm getting a little notice detected it. I'm getting a little notice detected it. I'm getting a little notice about my firmware. So, that's something about my firmware. So, that's something about my firmware. So, that's something I may want to look into and update. Here I may want to look into and update. Here I may want to look into and update. Here under connection, we could see that we under connection, we could see that we under connection, we could see that we have everything. It automatically have everything. It automatically have everything. It automatically selected the right port, the right rate selected the right port, the right rate selected the right port, the right rate here. And I could disconnect right there here. And I could disconnect right there here. And I could disconnect right there as well if I would like to. Right here, as well if I would like to. Right here, as well if I would like to. Right here, the state, it's operational. It's not the state, it's operational. It's not the state, it's operational. It's not currently doing anything. And down here,

currently doing anything. And down here, currently doing anything. And down here, it has files. And I could see the amount it has files. And I could see the amount it has files. And I could see the amount available space I have left. And also, available space I have left. And also, available space I have left. And also, we can create folders. So, for example, we can create folders. So, for example, we can create folders. So, for example, if I created a folder, I'm going to call if I created a folder, I'm going to call if I created a folder, I'm going to call this uh 10 this uh 10 this uh 10 in mod in mod in mod ulc. I could go ahead and create that ulc. I could go ahead and create that ulc. I could go ahead and create that folder. So, now I have that. Just for folder. So, now I have that. Just for folder. So, now I have that. Just for organization, I'm going actually upload organization, I'm going actually upload organization, I'm going actually upload a file real quick here. Got a bunch of a file real quick here. Got a bunch of a file real quick here. Got a bunch of stuff going on. But what I want is the stuff going on. But what I want is the stuff going on. But what I want is the gasket. I'm going to print this in just gasket. I'm going to print this in just gasket. I'm going to print this in just a little bit. So, we can hit open. There a little bit. So, we can hit open. There a little bit. So, we can hit open. There we go. It uploads. There's some options. we go. It uploads. There's some options. we go. It uploads. There's some options. So, I can redownload it. I can use this So, I can redownload it. I can use this So, I can redownload it. I can use this one to move or rename, delete it, load one to move or rename, delete it, load one to move or rename, delete it, load it up, or print it. So, like if I click it up, or print it. So, like if I click it up, or print it. So, like if I click on this one, move or rename. I'm going on this one, move or rename. I'm going on this one, move or rename. I'm going to select the folder I want it in. And I to select the folder I want it in. And I to select the folder I want it in. And I can just make this a little bit can just make this a little bit can just make this a little bit prettier. modular lock rack 1x3 gasket. prettier. modular lock rack 1x3 gasket. prettier. modular lock rack 1x3 gasket. Go ahead and move it. And now if I click Go ahead and move it. And now if I click Go ahead and move it. And now if I click on this folder icon, you can see it's on this folder icon, you can see it's on this folder icon, you can see it's nice organized right in there for us. nice organized right in there for us. nice organized right in there for us. Also upload from a separate SD card if Also upload from a separate SD card if Also upload from a separate SD card if you'd like to. And down here we have you'd like to. And down here we have you'd like to. And down here we have some notifications. Over here is our some notifications. Over here is our some notifications. Over here is our kind of main control panel. The first kind of main control panel. The first kind of main control panel. The first one is temperature. So you can see right one is temperature. So you can see right one is temperature. So you can see right now uh everything's off, but I can now uh everything's off, but I can now uh everything's off, but I can manually tell it to raise the manually tell it to raise the manually tell it to raise the temperature. So for example, if I click temperature. So for example, if I click temperature. So for example, if I click this little drop down, I can set the bed this little drop down, I can set the bed this little drop down, I can set the bed temp kind of prematurely if I want to.

temp kind of prematurely if I want to. temp kind of prematurely if I want to. So beds usually take a little while to So beds usually take a little while to So beds usually take a little while to while to warm up. So if I'm doing stuff while to warm up. So if I'm doing stuff while to warm up. So if I'm doing stuff in here and I'm about to print, I could in here and I'm about to print, I could in here and I'm about to print, I could start that before I even tell it to start that before I even tell it to start that before I even tell it to print. And of course, we could go ahead print. And of course, we could go ahead print. And of course, we could go ahead and set this as off. You could set and set this as off. You could set and set this as off. You could set custom targets, a lot of different custom targets, a lot of different custom targets, a lot of different stuff. And you could see this little stuff. And you could see this little stuff. And you could see this little graph right once I started it. We get graph right once I started it. We get graph right once I started it. We get some movement here. The bed temperature some movement here. The bed temperature some movement here. The bed temperature briefly rose, but I went ahead and briefly rose, but I went ahead and briefly rose, but I went ahead and stopped it. Additionally, we have stopped it. Additionally, we have stopped it. Additionally, we have control. So I plugged the webcam in, set control. So I plugged the webcam in, set control. So I plugged the webcam in, set it up. So now I can see everything here. it up. So now I can see everything here. it up. So now I can see everything here. And if all works appropriately, if I And if all works appropriately, if I And if all works appropriately, if I like move the Z-axis up, you can see like move the Z-axis up, you can see like move the Z-axis up, you can see that it's actually moving up. If I move that it's actually moving up. If I move that it's actually moving up. If I move the X-axis a bit. Oh, I think I clicked the X-axis a bit. Oh, I think I clicked the X-axis a bit. Oh, I think I clicked the Z a little too many times. It's the Z a little too many times. It's the Z a little too many times. It's still going. There we go. So, now I can still going. There we go. So, now I can still going. There we go. So, now I can move it around. I can like bring the move it around. I can like bring the move it around. I can like bring the actual thing forward. So, I can manually actual thing forward. So, I can manually actual thing forward. So, I can manually move everything around here. You can set move everything around here. You can set move everything around here. You can set your tools. You can actually extract and your tools. You can actually extract and your tools. You can actually extract and retract directly through here. It is a retract directly through here. It is a retract directly through here. It is a good situation. And of course, if I want good situation. And of course, if I want good situation. And of course, if I want to, I could just home out both of these. to, I could just home out both of these. to, I could just home out both of these. And then it will go ahead and reset And then it will go ahead and reset And then it will go ahead and reset everything. And you can see it's everything. And you can see it's everything. And you can see it's bringing down the Z-axis. G-code viewer.

bringing down the Z-axis. G-code viewer. bringing down the Z-axis. G-code viewer. Before I open up the G-code viewer, I'm Before I open up the G-code viewer, I'm Before I open up the G-code viewer, I'm actually going to set up time-lapses. actually going to set up time-lapses. actually going to set up time-lapses. Since we have the camera in here, we can Since we have the camera in here, we can Since we have the camera in here, we can set up time-lapses. So, for the next set up time-lapses. So, for the next set up time-lapses. So, for the next print, let's say I want it to uh take a print, let's say I want it to uh take a print, let's say I want it to uh take a snapshot of the camera on every Zchange. snapshot of the camera on every Zchange. snapshot of the camera on every Zchange. So, every time it goes up a layer. And So, every time it goes up a layer. And So, every time it goes up a layer. And let's say I wanted to do five of those let's say I wanted to do five of those let's say I wanted to do five of those pictures per second. I would just pictures per second. I would just pictures per second. I would just customize that there. Lots of different customize that there. Lots of different customize that there. Lots of different settings. But uh let's set that as settings. But uh let's set that as settings. But uh let's set that as default. Save changes. So now the next default. Save changes. So now the next default. Save changes. So now the next time it prints, you could see or you time it prints, you could see or you time it prints, you could see or you will see that it's going to do that. Now will see that it's going to do that. Now will see that it's going to do that. Now if I load that model that I put in here if I load that model that I put in here if I load that model that I put in here earlier. So if I don't click print yet, earlier. So if I don't click print yet, earlier. So if I don't click print yet, I'm just going to click on load. We get I'm just going to click on load. We get I'm just going to click on load. We get a lot of information. You can see the a lot of information. You can see the a lot of information. You can see the state is still operational. We have the state is still operational. We have the state is still operational. We have the file, uh, the time-lapse information, file, uh, the time-lapse information, file, uh, the time-lapse information, the filament tools, and all of that, the the filament tools, and all of that, the the filament tools, and all of that, the approximate print time. If I go over to approximate print time. If I go over to approximate print time. If I go over to the G-code viewer, I can actually see the G-code viewer, I can actually see the G-code viewer, I can actually see what it's going to be printing. So, if I what it's going to be printing. So, if I what it's going to be printing. So, if I zoom in here, I can see all the layers zoom in here, I can see all the layers zoom in here, I can see all the layers and everything and the exact kind of and everything and the exact kind of and everything and the exact kind of pattern. And then you could go between pattern. And then you could go between pattern. And then you could go between your different layers and see exactly your different layers and see exactly your different layers and see exactly what is going on. Some pretty cool what is going on. Some pretty cool what is going on. Some pretty cool stuff, if I say so myself. And then we stuff, if I say so myself. And then we stuff, if I say so myself. And then we have access to a terminal if you need have access to a terminal if you need have access to a terminal if you need that and some settings and you can throw that and some settings and you can throw that and some settings and you can throw commands in it. And of course we have commands in it. And of course we have commands in it. And of course we have settings. So if we go in here, uh, we settings. So if we go in here, uh, we settings. So if we go in here, uh, we have the connection stuff. We kind of have the connection stuff. We kind of have the connection stuff. We kind of played around with this a little bit, played around with this a little bit, played around with this a little bit, but this goes even to way more specific but this goes even to way more specific but this goes even to way more specific settings and details. We have our settings and details. We have our settings and details. We have our printer profile, so you can make more if printer profile, so you can make more if printer profile, so you can make more if you'd like to. You can set your specific you'd like to. You can set your specific you'd like to. You can set your specific temperatures. So for me, for PLA, I set

temperatures. So for me, for PLA, I set temperatures. So for me, for PLA, I set this to this to this to 195 because it just seems to be the best 195 because it just seems to be the best 195 because it just seems to be the best one for my printer. And then I just one for my printer. And then I just one for my printer. And then I just click save. There we go. That's saved. click save. There we go. That's saved. click save. There we go. That's saved. But then under features, you can enable But then under features, you can enable But then under features, you can enable a variety of things. Set up some more a variety of things. Set up some more a variety of things. Set up some more specifics for your time-lapse recording specifics for your time-lapse recording specifics for your time-lapse recording and webcam streaming. And actually under and webcam streaming. And actually under and webcam streaming. And actually under OctoPrint, if we go in here under OctoPrint, if we go in here under OctoPrint, if we go in here under classic webcam under a plugin, this you classic webcam under a plugin, this you classic webcam under a plugin, this you can set like a custom snapshot URL. So can set like a custom snapshot URL. So can set like a custom snapshot URL. So if you want to use a camera that's like if you want to use a camera that's like if you want to use a camera that's like not necessarily connected to the Pi not necessarily connected to the Pi not necessarily connected to the Pi directly, you have the option to do directly, you have the option to do directly, you have the option to do that. And there's other plugins you see that. And there's other plugins you see that. And there's other plugins you see up here. Uh the organizer, we created a up here. Uh the organizer, we created a up here. Uh the organizer, we created a folder. I can close that out. That's folder. I can close that out. That's folder. I can close that out. That's just a uh achievement plugin. And just a uh achievement plugin. And just a uh achievement plugin. And there's other ones that come there's other ones that come there's other ones that come pre-inccluded like file check, custom pre-inccluded like file check, custom pre-inccluded like file check, custom control manager, virtual printer. And control manager, virtual printer. And control manager, virtual printer. And actually, if we go to plug-in manager, actually, if we go to plug-in manager, actually, if we go to plug-in manager, we have all of the plugins here. So, we we have all of the plugins here. So, we we have all of the plugins here. So, we get rid of like the achievement thing if get rid of like the achievement thing if get rid of like the achievement thing if that's something you didn't want. Or you that's something you didn't want. Or you that's something you didn't want. Or you get right here, get more, type in your get right here, get more, type in your get right here, get more, type in your password, proceed with their warnings.

password, proceed with their warnings. password, proceed with their warnings. You should probably read it. We have You should probably read it. We have You should probably read it. We have more plugins here, some thirdparty more plugins here, some thirdparty more plugins here, some thirdparty plugins. So, Octolapse, display layer plugins. So, Octolapse, display layer plugins. So, Octolapse, display layer progress, cancel object, theme, bunch of progress, cancel object, theme, bunch of progress, cancel object, theme, bunch of cool things. And then you could click cool things. And then you could click cool things. And then you could click details and homepage to learn more about details and homepage to learn more about details and homepage to learn more about those. So, with all that said, that was those. So, with all that said, that was those. So, with all that said, that was a brief overview. Again, there's a ton a brief overview. Again, there's a ton a brief overview. Again, there's a ton of different things you can customize, of different things you can customize, of different things you can customize, change, and do in here. to actually change, and do in here. to actually change, and do in here. to actually print something. All you do is go down print something. All you do is go down print something. All you do is go down here and click on print and then it will here and click on print and then it will here and click on print and then it will begin. We could see that first it's begin. We could see that first it's begin. We could see that first it's going to raise our bed temperature. Once going to raise our bed temperature. Once going to raise our bed temperature. Once the bed gets to the right temperature, the bed gets to the right temperature, the bed gets to the right temperature, then it is going to turn on our uh tool then it is going to turn on our uh tool then it is going to turn on our uh tool to warm that up as well. And you can see to warm that up as well. And you can see to warm that up as well. And you can see our bed is just about to temperature and our bed is just about to temperature and our bed is just about to temperature and the tool is kicking on. So then you the tool is kicking on. So then you the tool is kicking on. So then you could see that red right there kind of could see that red right there kind of could see that red right there kind of spiking up. So, we're going to let this spiking up. So, we're going to let this spiking up. So, we're going to let this print and we'll be back. Check out the print and we'll be back. Check out the print and we'll be back. Check out the time lapse and all that fun stuff. And time lapse and all that fun stuff. And time lapse and all that fun stuff. And just like that, the print is done. You just like that, the print is done. You just like that, the print is done. You can see here I got my little gasket can see here I got my little gasket can see here I got my little gasket things ready to go. And over here, we things ready to go. And over here, we things ready to go. And over here, we can see a little summary. We can see how can see a little summary. We can see how can see a little summary. We can see how long it took. Took about 50 minutes to long it took. Took about 50 minutes to long it took. Took about 50 minutes to complete. Got the size and all that.

complete. Got the size and all that. complete. Got the size and all that. When it has a successful print, it will When it has a successful print, it will When it has a successful print, it will show up in green bold right here. um show up in green bold right here. um show up in green bold right here. um kind of helpful so you can know in the kind of helpful so you can know in the kind of helpful so you can know in the future that that was indeed a successful future that that was indeed a successful future that that was indeed a successful one. And if we go over to timelapse and one. And if we go over to timelapse and one. And if we go over to timelapse and then scroll down here, we could see the then scroll down here, we could see the then scroll down here, we could see the print. Again, this is just a little print. Again, this is just a little print. Again, this is just a little gasket thing, so it's not going to be gasket thing, so it's not going to be gasket thing, so it's not going to be the most impressive time-lapse in the the most impressive time-lapse in the the most impressive time-lapse in the world, but we can see it grow there. It world, but we can see it grow there. It world, but we can see it grow there. It It works. If you print something bigger It works. If you print something bigger It works. If you print something bigger and cooler, your time-lapse is going to and cooler, your time-lapse is going to and cooler, your time-lapse is going to be bigger and cooler. So, yeah, that is be bigger and cooler. So, yeah, that is be bigger and cooler. So, yeah, that is my new little rack mount 3D printed my new little rack mount 3D printed my new little rack mount 3D printed server. I do hope you enjoyed this server. I do hope you enjoyed this server. I do hope you enjoyed this video. Anything I mentioned will be video. Anything I mentioned will be video. Anything I mentioned will be linked down below. And if you have some linked down below. And if you have some linked down below. And if you have some really cool uh links to models or 3D really cool uh links to models or 3D really cool uh links to models or 3D prints for either five or 10 inch, I prints for either five or 10 inch, I prints for either five or 10 inch, I would be more than happy to look at it, would be more than happy to look at it, would be more than happy to look at it, check it out. And with all that, I do check it out. And with all that, I do check it out. And with all that, I do hope you have a beautiful day and hope you have a beautiful day and hope you have a beautiful day and goodbye.
