3D Printing Forum

About 2 weeks ago I started playing with R Pi and Repetier as a host to view print remotely and control the printer.
The whole thing is done via WiFi, works slightly annoying, especially the webcam, but somehow tolerable.
Yesterday I was quite surprised, because I was combining with the camera for a long time, it worked, and after switching on just yesterday it stopped. It turned out that Repetier made this functionality in paid version 0.80 and probably in version 0.75 I had blocked: / License, "opportunity" now, 56 instead of 76 Euro.

This forced me to search and found functionalities that I recommend:
1. remote access to the printer via Raspberry Pi through the Windy remote desktop:
sudo apt-get install xrdp

2. awesome soft USB server via WiFi:

at the moment I have COM13 on my computer, which in fact is COM on RPi and I remotely control the printer;

3. I am currently working on WebCam with time laps:

It may be useful to someone.

Thank you for this information I will check it out.

I use my Raspberry pi with OctoPrint.

Raspberry PI / Octoprint works so, so well.

Just don't try printing over 50 mm/sec The USB controllers on most printers can handle it faster and steps could get skipped. (This is due to the weakness in most of their UART/IO buffers)
