Exploring OctoPi: A guide to getting up and running with this excellent (free) 3D printer software

Unleash your 3D printer's true potential with this remote control & monitoring software!

In this video we'll look at what OctoPi is and how to set it up. We'll also familiarise ourselves with the easy to use web interface and explore the many benefits of utilising this extremely useful software.

Although primarily aimed at those who already own a 3D printer to help improve their printing experience, this guide may also be of use to anyone considering taking up this enjoyable hobby as we'll be covering some of the fundamentals of 3D printing along the way.

Note. OctoPi (as the name suggests) runs on a Raspberry Pi.
