Network Printers

[curious aardvark]

I like to get value for money. Plus money is scarce.
I've already got a pi original :-)

it does precede octoprint - so might not work.

I'll get the octoprint image and have a play.

Recommended hardware: Raspberry Pi 3B, 3B+ or 4B. Expect print artifacts and long loading times with other options, especially when adding a webcam or installing third party plugins. Setups not using recommended hardware are not officially supported.
Please note that the Raspberry Pi Zero W is not recommended explicitly since severe performance issues were observed, caused by the WiFi interface when bandwidth is utilized (e.g. the webcam is streamed), negatively impacting printing quality. See also here.

Oh well - I'll go back to plan a and see what i can do with the esp-12s module.

I mean I can reach the sdcard socket in the sapphire pro from where I'm sitting.
printer control and print starting would be more use than file transfer anyway.

I mean at the moment I have to stand up and take a step and everything !
