So I thought it would be a good idea to see how Octoprint on Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W fairs in different configurations and how stressed you should be about your prints. With Raspberry Pi Camera priced £25 and HQ version over £70 (with a lens), this could be a much more expensive option than picking up a Raspberry Pi 4 and using a spare webcam laying around. It’s quick enough for Octoprint and many other tasks, it has enough RAM (512MB) to support the processor, but with a single USB port options for using it as an Octoprint server are limited.īy default, you will be forced to use a Raspberry Pi Camera, that connects to the camera header on the board, as the only micro USB port will be used for connecting to a 3D printer. Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W is an awesome and inexpensive upgrade to any Raspberry Pi Zero project. (Benchy)marking Octorprint on Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W Is WiFi fast enough to support a 1080p stream… is 512 RAM enough for all plugins I use… and so on.
It’s all great, but with limited I/O (read as a single USB port) I have more questions: Can I share the USB port with a webcam, 3D printer and a USB Ethernet adapter. A Long Cable: 100cm/3.28ft extension cable included, long enough for mounting the camera, especially useful when you don?t want to place the camera near the Raspberry Pi.From my benchmark and the official Octoprint account, we know that the recently released Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W is fast enough to run an Octoprint server for your 3D printer.Focus Controllable: A camera focus control plugin has been developed to control an Arducam motorized focus camera using the OctoPrint Control tab, which utilizes custom commands from your slicer to adjust focus while printing.Motorized Focus: See closer and easier than the fixed focus (1 m to infinity) lens, the minimum focal length is about 5CM, which is better to monitor the 3D printer nozzle and make you pay close attention to your creation.Hassle Free: Works as a native Raspberry Pi camera on Raspberry Pi 4/3B+/3 and more, and Arducam has solved the problems with the installation and setup on OctoPi.Fortunately, Arducam can help you solve all installation and setup problems.įor more details, please refer to our Doc page: Features
Since most cameras are not made specifically for the use of 3D printing software, it is impossible to obtain proper support from the manufacturer. Using an Arducam camera to monitor 3D printing can make you pay close attention to your creation. Most 3D models take more than a few hours to print, so you may wish to leave the 3D printer at some point in the printing process.
