A Raspberry Pi distribution for 3d printers. It includes the OctoPrint host software for 3d printers out of the box and mjpg-streamer with RaspiCam support for live viewing of prints and timelapse video creation. OctoPi also includes OctoPiPanel, which is an LCD display app that works with OctoPrint, and scripts to configure supported display.s This repository contains the source script to generate the distribution out of an existing Raspbian distro image.

Nightly builds are available here
- Unzip the image and install it to an sd card like any other Raspberry Pi image
- Configure your WiFi by editing
octopi-network.txt
on the root of the flashed card when using it like a thumb drive - Boot the Pi from the card
- Log into your Pi via SSH (it is located at
octopi.local
if your computer supports bonjour or the IP address assigned by your router), default username is "pi", default password is "raspberry", change the password using thepasswd
command and expand the filesystem of the SD card through the corresponding option when runningsudo raspi-config
.
OctoPrint is located at http://octopi.local and also at https://octopi.local. Since the SSL certificate is self signed (and generated upon first boot), you will get a certificate warning at the latter location, please ignore it.
If a USB webcam or the Raspberry Pi camera is detected, MJPG-streamer will be started automatically as webcam server. OctoPrint on OctoPi ships with correctly configured stream and snapshot URLs pointing at it. If necessary, you can reach it under http://octopi.local/webcam/?action=stream and SSL respectively, or directly on its configured port 8080: http://octopi.local:8080/?action=stream.
CuraEngine is installed and OctoPrint ships pre-configured with the correct path to utilize it for on-board-slicing. Just import a Cura Slicing Profile in OctoPrint's settings and start slicing directly on your Pi.
- OctoPrint host software for 3d printers out of the box
- Raspbian tweaked for maximum preformance for printing out of the box
- mjpg-streamer with RaspiCam support for live viewing of prints and timelapse video creation.
- CuraEngine pre-installed for slicing directly on the Raspberry Pi
- OctoPiPanel, which is an LCD display app that works with OctoPrint
- Configuration scripts for various LCD displays
- qemu-arm-static
- Downloaded Raspbian image.
- root privileges for chroot
- Bash
- git
- realpath
- sudo (the script itself calls it, running as root without sudo won't work)
OctoPi can be built from Debian, Ubuntu, Raspbian, or even OctoPi. Build requires about 2.5 GB of free space available. You can build it by issuing the following commands:
sudo apt-get install gawk util-linux realpath qemu-user-static git git clone https://github.com/guysoft/OctoPi.git cd OctoPi/src/image curl -J -O -L http://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspbian_latest cd .. sudo modprobe loop sudo bash -x ./build
OctoPi supports building variants, which are builds with changes from the main release build. An example and other variants are available in the folder src/variants/example
.
To build a variant use:
sudo bash -x ./build [Variant]
There is a vagrant machine configuration to let build OctoPi in case your build environment behaves differently. Unless you do extra configuration, vagrant must run as root to have nfs folder sync working.
To use it:
sudo apt-get install vagrant nfs-kernel-server sudo vagrant plugin install vagrant-nfs_guest sudo modprobe nfs cd OctoPi/src/vagrant sudo vagrant up
After provisioning the machine, its also possible to run a nightly build which updates from devel using:
cd OctoPi/src/vagrant run_vagrant_build.sh
- If needed, override existing config settings by creating a new file
src/config.local
. You can override all settings found insrc/config
. If you need to override the path to the Raspbian image to use for building OctoPi, override the path to be used inZIP_IMG
. By default the most recent file matching*-raspbian.zip
found insrc/image
will be used. - Run
src/build
as root. - The final image will be created at the
src/workspace
Code contribution would be appreciated!
