It offers a web interface so users can control and monitor their 3D printers from anywhere, any time, from within their browser.

Yes, you could use putty to access the pi zero, for this you would need the IP address assigned to the pi, which usually could be found on your router admin interface (check for connected DHCP client list), if the pi has been successfully connected to the wifi network.OctoPrint is an open source software created and maintained by Gina Häußge. If you don't have the possibility to connect the pi zero to a display, after writing the image and booting up the pi (via the printer for example), wait for a couple of minutes before trying to access it via SSH (first boot takes a little longer). From the printer you also need to make sure that the RPi port is enabled, to do this, from the printers LCD menu -> Settings -> RPi port, and make sure it is set to ONĪt this point you should be able to connect via a web browser onto the octoprint interface. Once the above steps are done you could insert the pi zero into the printer and power it on. Then 'Yes' when it asks if you want the hardware enabled.Īt this point you might want to double check that the ssh server is running:Īnswer 'Yes' when asked if you would like the SSH server to be enabled.
