3D Printer Bay Build ep. 1 - 6 Machine Octoprint & Home Automation
Ғылым және технология
Today we are kicking off a 3D Printer Bay Build that will contain 6 or more 3D Printers along with a fully power managed and automated system. In this video we cover setting up multiple OctoPrint instances on a single computer along with home automation routines to notify you when your 3D Printer(s) are complete. We use Octoprint on a PC with a 10g USB 3.2 card to connect 6 machines at the same time. We use Linux as our operating system and then install independent OctoPrint instances on it. We also use Home Assistant and write automations that connect OctoPrint to Home Assistant.
Automations in this video can be found on the wiki at wiki.makersmashup.com/maker-p...

If you're not doing so already, you could add in some tasmota flashed smart plugs to control power on your printers combined with the tasmota plugin for octoprint. I use that setup with my printer and it works great. No outside automation required from Home Assistant. Just the one plug tied to the octoprint instance of the one printer.

I have each printer controlled through Home Assistant. I didnt want to use Octoprint because I had a finer level of device control in HA. I can also use google to automate turning on selected printers via verbal command. The part I'm trying to figure out is having it not only turn it on, but preheat and home the printer. So if you have some tips on that I'd love to hear it.
Did you make your own USB cables to run to the printers, I tried running multiple instances in Docker containers but was spending too much time problem solving so I sacked it and just ran 2 machines on each Pi with a total of six machines 4 running on 3b+ Pi's and the other 2 running on a Pi4 4Gb

Standard USB 3 cables to USB 3 Hubs. I don't run a docker container but directly under Linux. I think what is making the big difference is the 3.2 USB PCI card I put into the machine. That gives me high speed USB 3 to all the printers. I run a standard cable to two USB 3 hubs. So everything is high speed and then I use simple USB 2.0 cables to each printer. The USB 3 hubs are all powered as well. In the next video I'm going to focus on the power but I'll also touch on the USB setup as well.
I hope HA adds Klipper support soon.
