When Win32DiskImager has completed downloading it just install it like you would with any software. I recommend your desktop so it is easy to find. Once you have downloaded those two things you will need to first extract Octoprint somewhere. Now that you have the hardware lets get the software we need:
Micro USB Cable/Wall Charger (To power the Pi) Raspberry Pi Zero W ( Here is a link for both the Pi Zero W and Power supply for it) If you are like me and just want a cost effective way to print without USB cables then lets get started! If you do plan to use webcams to stream video and monitor your prints live then you will need to go with a Pi 3 as the Pi W does not have the computing power to efficiently stream while printing wireless. I decided to swap out my Pi 3’s for Pi W’s so that I can use the more powerful Pi 3’s for projects that can take advantage of their processing power.īefore starting this I do want to note that I do not run webcams with Octoprint I just use them to print wireless. However, I recently got my hands on four Pi Zero W’s which are about one third of the cost. Up until now I have been running Raspberry Pi 3’s to do this which have worked extremely well. It allows me to print wireless from any computer or phone in my house. I love Octoprint and have been running it on multiple 3D printers for well over two years now.
