E axis is done. On to the LCD after lunch and some bears!
I think that there may be a misconception as to what OctoPI is/does. It does not replace the printer firmwareI am going for the 2.4r 300mm build. One of my co-workers, and a good friend, just ordered a kit from https://voronkits.com/ last Friday. I plan on sourcing my materials rather than going the kit route.
All excellent points guys, regarding the Rasp Pi. It seems that I kept seeing that the RPi was the only option whereas it is not, but I certainly understand having everything bundled in an ecosystem.
Regarding the Orange Pi, the following is a link to one of many that have done it. Not saying that you should, but there is documentation out there. https://blog.vertile.com/article/klipper-3d-printer-firmware/
did the spell check change beers to bears?E axis is done. On to the LCD after lunch and some bears!
Prusa gives you a bag of gummy bears as an incentive to get through the assembly. The instructions actually tell you to consume X amount of bears after completing each assembly. The beers will come after a first decent print! Until then bears.I think that there may be a misconception as to what OctoPI is/does. It does not replace the printer firmware

Correct. Octopi is a method of running your print. You can slice with Octopi but I believe it is a plug-in. Marlin, Kkipper and others are firmware. Cura or Prusaslicr are popular, although the PrusaSlicr is Cura with some more lipstickI think that there may be a misconception as to what OctoPI is/does. It does not replace the printer firmware

You are correct. My apologies. For some reason, I was thinking that they shared DNA.I don't think Prusa Slicer is Cura, it is based on a different code base (Slic3r) that predates Cura. But they do share some code such as the arachnid engine recently. SuperSlicer is based on Prusa Slicer. There are a number of other slicers out there as well, but these are the most popular.
