Connecting and powering Raspberry Pi to a Prusa

I will go over the final build of my Prusa Clone printer. I will show the enclosure I use to house the Raspberry PI 3. The wiring setup from a buck converter to power the PI. And then the serial connections from the PI to the Einsy board. This will give you a Pi that is powered by the Prusa power supply and connected without the use of a USB cable.

Added a Raspberry Pi4 to my printer this evening and this video got me through connecting it. Thanks so much for posting it.

A quick piece of advice - if you recently reset your einsy and it wants to invoke the wizard, you want to be sure to clear that and get to the normal informational display before testing your connectivity - otherwise it won't connect! I used the 4 wire GPIO and useda buck converter for the RPI power. I recycled the twisted pair wires from a spare cat 6 cable for my connector cable and have no noise issues, as I have done in the past for other things like BL touch probes and the like.

What's the quality of the components supplied for the clone? I would think it would be a potential worry that it'd have cheaper electronics? Concerning fire hazards with cheap stuff that gets hot 😬 decent quality power supply and heat controlled components?
