Prusa I3 MK3S WiFi and Camera upgrade with Raspberry PI Zero W and OctoPrint

It is time to upgrade my Prusa I3 MK3S printer and add WiFi capabilities and a web camera to it.
In this video, I will show You step by step in great detail how to prepare and install a Raspberry Pi Zero W board with the attached camera into the Prusa 3D printer and finally how to configure it and use it.

The RPI frame and the RPI cover are included in the 3D printable parts package. You can download the package from here:

Nice video. You forgot to mention on the printer "go to the settings menu and turn RPi port on"

Hey! What a neatly integrated upgrade!

[madito]

Thank you very much for the video

I have seen in the video that you have a soldering stand that looks great! You could share the links if they are public.

Thank you!

Hello and Happy New year
Will this tutorial work with ender 3 or any other 3d printer?

Hi I really need to know where you got the ribbon cable jumper. The one to connect two 15 pin ribbon cables.
Thanks you!

some said the zero don't have enough power to support the camera streaming, do you think it's the case?
got 3 zero installed on my printers but haven't tried that out

Sure sounds like synthesized voice… Is it?

[joanS]

Hi, could you give me your feeling with the MK3S? I am considering to buy this one, but in many comments on youtube, people are struggling with that version which seems to be worth than the previous MK3.
Thanks

Hi I downloaded the package from your link, but the RPI cover is not the same as the one in your video, can you please share the link for the correct one ? Thanks

This setup is working fine ? Because all the people says that raspi zero w is to weak to deal with octo and camera.. I want to add octo to my prusa, but i want a sleak installation like this.. Is it fine ?

[clausi]

my camera will not work, i tried also to configure it in the octoptint-config.txt but also no chance to get it working. do you have any idea what could be false?

[alexsfilm-house]

the needed files are not offered by prusa anymore.

Tried this in 2020 and it didn't work. Nothing showed up on the WiFi router and no IP address on the printer. How do you debug this? I've done the flashing twice and used two different routers but still nothing.
I note that the latest information on Octoprint says the absolutely do not recommend using the Pi Zero-w due to issues with streaming taking too much bandwidth.

how do you deal with ooze and cleaning the bed remotely haha?

[hannesreichle]

Hey great video,
do you have any problems with printing wihle streaming over the camera ?

Can't watch this. The text to speech voice is infuriating.
