With Cupcake155 running fairly smoothly, I opted to typically drive it via Octoprint. I use a Raspberry Pi Model A+ with Wifi. This works great. After a few months printing like this, I found I’m constantly annoyed by visibility; I can’t see WTF’s going on in my print-area.
Illuminatrix
Illuminatrix is my lighting system for 3D printing. It could be used for other applications. Illuminatrix is the combination of a dedicated Arduino to drive RGB LEDs, some optional power hardware if you want many LEDs and there’s an Octoprint Plugin component that grants print-status awareness to the lighting.
