Octoprint vs repetier server8/10/2023 ![]() ![]() I’ve left it running for little spurts during the cut though. There is also a fire risk, if chips build up, they can catch fire, although I think that’s sort of rare. Then stopping the cut, or fixing a binding cable or something. I’ve saved more than a few boards by being there when something went wrong. I doubt anyone would say it is “safe” to leave the machine alone. The web interface is my only way of jogging the machine under power.Īnother important note is that CNC machines are more dangerous than printers (IMO), and they fail quite quickly. I can load gcode files from my laptop, and if I set up the mpeg streaming, then I can see the USB video in the web interface. I did get a webcam working on the webpage, and I put in a request to the author to add hooks for starting and stopping timelapses, but I never tested his/her fix. It’s a bit behind the octopi in terms of setup, etc. With that setup, I run CNC.js, and I can do a little management. I switched to a GRBL controller built into the pi, and I don’t know if anyone else is doing that (and Ryan won’t be any help there, since he’s focused on Marlin for good reasons). Also, the octoprint issue trackers are pretty good, so you can report problems with it there. I bet most of that is just as compatible as Marlin. There might be some gcode that confuses it (G00 vs G0 or (comments) vs. The only possible gotchas are the temps and the gcode viewer won’t work (It ignores travel, I think). I have an octopi, and some experience with it, if you get stuck. Octopi is the easiest way to get started. If you can get octoprint to work, I think that’s the best option. If you’re staying with the Marlin firmware, I think you’ve nailed the choices. I think I promised to look into octoprint a really long time ago… Sorry, I got distracted and when I got back, I went to GRBL.
