![]() ![]() ![]() NONE of them have serials and the vendor id and product id are all identical. I have two Enders (3 Max and 3v2) and an Elegoo Neptune which is essentially a dual extruder Ender 3 clone. BUT, it is NOT officially supported and does have its drawbacks, especially with printers from the same vendor that don't have serial numbers. BUT, you COULD do a multi instance, some have reported up to 5 printers on one Pi4. The main drawback was the single instance per printer. I've been using OctoPrint since I started 3D printing last fall. I am REALLY digging the Repetier software and your work. No other config is necessary? BTW, this is a COOL feature that sets Repetier apart from other options! As I get more addicted to 3D printing and add more printers, especially large volume ones (Drooling over "The Beast" ) and my current fascination with multi-materials and multi extruders, I see this feature coming in very handy! Now if I am understanding correctly all I do is add the IP's and API's of the secondary machines and the main server off loads processing as needed to the others. The Asus has 8 cores, the NUC has 12 cores and the i9 has 28 cores. Not sure if the GPUs come into play with processing. The Asus has 2 GeForce GTX1080 GPUs with 8GB DDR ea in SLI, the NUC has a standard Intel GPU and the Windows machine has 2 RTX2080 Super GPUs with 12GB DDR ea in SLI. I also installed three more instances on a 6th Gen i7 Asus with 64GB RAM running Debian 10 and OMV5, 10th Gen i7 Intel NUC with 64GB RAM running Kubuntu 21.10 and on my 10th Gen i9 with 128GB RAM running Windows 11. The main Repetier Server runs on an 8th gen i7 Intel NUC with 64GB RAM with a standard Intel GPU running Kubuntu 21.10. I installed Server Monitor and so far it looks a lot like the Web GUI with a few more neat features, love the backup feature!!! I purchased my Pro license today, woohoo!! One other thing, is there a demo of the server monitor? Since I don't officially have the pro version yet I can't try out the server monitor. ![]() Any "Black Friday" deals coming up for US users? The euro to dollar exchange kinda blows lately, gotta love our new administration! I've got a few more days on my free trial and I hope to purchase the full pro version either tomorrow or next week. Just seems too easy, kind of unusual these days, lol. All I have to do is just install, then add the links to the main server or are there other things to do. I'm assuming with the 5 installs and what I have seen in the gui, I can install a few servers then link them on the main to distribute processing. Less power plugs used, less electricity, less IP's on the network, less bandwidth on the network and fewer machines to maintain! Lately I've been consolidating the amount of PC's and Servers I have running in the shop in order to cutdown the aforementioned issues. ![]() I REALLY like the multi-printer control of Repetier versus having a bunch of pi's or pc's running octoprint. Suuure, I GUESS I could just run a webpage on a touch screen, but that just seems like a "lazy hack", lol. It would be nice to setup a little touch screen in a convenient location in the workshop and use the rather handy interface of the pi image. Though I was wondering if there is a way to say use a pi zero w (which I seem to have an abundance of at them moment ) to run the Raspberry Pi image and control my main server with the touch screen on the pi zero. I usually log into the web gui from my desk across the workshop or on the server PC or on other PC's in the house. I have a Linux PC on my workbench that runs the server for two printers. I did a quick search but didn't find quite what I was looking for. ![]()
