🚀 How to transform your 3D Printer into a SMART, WIFI-CONTROLLED machine!
In this step-by-step tutorial, I’ll show you how to automate your 3D printer using a Raspberry Pi, my favourite 3D Printing Software (OctoPrint), and Home Assistant. Say goodbye to manual monitoring and power switching - your 3D printer will shut down automatically when prints finish!
What You’ll Learn:
✅ How to use a 3D Printer with OctoPrint on a Raspberry Pi 4 (2GB)
✅ Monitor and Control a 3D Printer with Home Assistant for real-time stats & live camera feed
✅ Smart Plug Automation
✅ No Extra Power Supplies Needed. Powered from the 3D printer’s PSU
✅ Safely Shut Down EVERYTHING after every print
