/diy/ - Do It Yourself

I should also say that Octodash had not the best install experience. I'm running on an orange pi lite, not a standard raspberry pi, so I had a few more hoops to jump through to get it working.

Not happy with that, I tried OctoScreen. The install for octoscreen at first was really really easy, just a simple dpkg command, and everything was set to go. I tested it out and found some things that I would want to change, so I did end up downloading the source and modifying the menu navigation as its available package has things like toolchanger and multiple extruder nozzles to deal with that I don't need. After building with docker and following the same install procedure as I had previously done with the precompiled package, I was pleased to see my modifications--removal of unneeded panels, and adding a 100mm step to the jog commands. I really think the menu should be more configurable by the end user, but oh well. This isn't running in a browser, it's a native xorg application and as such is very snappy and responsive. I am very satisfied with this, and will keep it as my interface for the touchscreen on the printer for the foreseeable future.
