I have run OctoPrint on a LePotato, and it runs absolutely fine for me. It feels responsive and good, though I have no frame of reference for comparison.

Installing it was easy, as there was a simple guide and program available. :::

Man, that Nook is teaching everybody hard truths about capitalism.

It's an amazing rogue like for sure. It's tough to get started but before I knew it I had over 150 hours into it, a golden crown on my head and a golden amulet on my character.

Enjoy the deep rabbit hole you're about to jump in! I've got all the DLC, and no regrets.

How did you get started with selling 3d prints? Where are you selling your things?

How do you come across those side projects?

While the xyz site has the best technical specs you can find online, I can recommend Zach Freedman's original YouTube video about it as the best introduction to the what and why of the system.

That's really cool!

Just to note, you don't need a Pi to run Octoprint. I used Octoprint Deploy to run it on a LePotato and it runs like a charm.

To me, this is the core of 3D printing and why I got into it. Our house needs loads of little custom solutions, and that's where 3D printing really shines.

Thanks for the advice! Fortunately, our Fokoos comes with a direct drive, so that's checked off already. I think our major hurdle right now will be to keep filament properly dry, as I read TPU can get quite finicky with that.

I hadn't thought of the printing speed yet, though - appreciate the help!

What did you need to do to get your printer ready? Anything you've learned to make it easier a second time?
