how many printers on one raspberry pi 4  

I can't edit my post sorry 

I have 4 PRUSA and want to connected it to a PI 4 🙂

I know you can do more than one, but I typically keep it to one per Pi.

thanks, I will test Repetier I think it is the best option to drive multiple printers

but I like the octoprint interface 🙂

maybe prusa connect will resolve this problem soon ? 🙂

@impression3d-xyz

If that is what you need, then that is probably best.  

You certainly can run more than one instance of OctoPrint on a Pi but given the price the price of a Pi why would you bother?

@towlerg

It would be nice to have a suitable and capable filament manager that is stable on the same pi managing the filament across all PIs connected.  Currently, the best option is a single PI.  

hi,

thanks for your answers

i have a pi zero per printer currently (3 minis et 1 mk3s), in fact it is affordable.

but I also have a pi4 for dev purposes (a web interface in Django) and I asked myself about 1 pi for multiple printers as a pi zero is 'just enough' as cpu to run octoprint. it works, but it's 'limit' 🙂 

Chris Riley has some great videos on this:

Then you can centrally manage the instances with Octofarm.

Here is one he just did on this topic, but search his channel for more on Ocotprint. 

wow cool, thanks.

I'll check it now, looks like very nice

I am glad I did not wait for the Prusa Farm Software.
