Set up our system for your printers
The next step is to get your printers talking to SimplyPrint!
For you who has a Raspberry Pi with SimplyPrint already installed
For you who has a Raspberry Pi, a power supply and a micro-SD card
For those of you who are already running OctoPrint on a Raspberry Pi connected to the internet
Don't have a Raspberry Pi yet? RaspberryPi.dk has made a SimplyPrint starter kit with everything installed, and then with a discount for all SimplyPrint users! Buy RaspberryPi.dk's SimplyPrint starter kit, and have it in your hands within 1-2 working days!
Flash SD card
- Insert your micro SD card into a computer
- Download our SimplyPrint disk image (direct download link, 2+ GB file)
- Download the program Raspberry Pi Imager
- Open Raspberry Pi Imager, click "Choose OS", scroll down to "see custom",
select the SimplyPrint disk image you downloaded, your SD card, and click "Write" - Once done flashing, take out the SD-card and insert it again
We need it in the next step!
You can also buy a pre-flashed SD card from RaspberryPi.dk
Connect your Raspberry Pi to the Internet
Your Raspberry Pi needs internet to work with our system. You can either plug a network cable into it, or follow the steps below, to connect it to WiFi
This WiFi login must be in a file and placed on the SD card. We can help generate the file for you!
- Enter your WiFi information (we do not save them)
- Download the file
- Make sure the file is named
octopi-wpa-supplicant.txt - Insert the Raspberry Pi's SD card into the computer
- Place the file on the SD card (you'll need to replace the existing one)
- Insert the Raspberry Pi's SD card into the computer
- Open the SD card folder
-
Open the file called
simplyprintoctopi-wpa-supplicant.txt
(preferably use a slightly more advanced text editor such as Notepad++ to open the file) - Scroll down to the text
## WPA / WPA2 secured. For security reasons your WiFi must have a password to use our system. - If you have a completely normal WiFi with a name and password, simply remove the
#sign in front of the lines
It should look like this;
## WPA/WPA2 secured
network={
ssid="Network-Name"
psk="network-password"
}
6. save and close the file
Turn on your Rasbperry
Remove the SD card from your computer, insert it into the Raspberry Pi, and then plug in the power supply
Connect the Rasbperry Pi to your printer and it's ready!
Plug the cable from the USB port on your Raspberry Pi, to the printer port (usually mini-USB).
Set up SimplyPrint with OctoPrint
This solution is for you who are already running OctoPrint on your printer and do not want to use our Raspberry Pi installation file.
- You probably know your Raspberry Pi's IP address (where you can see OctoPrint), if not here's how to find it; https://community.octoprint.org/t/finding-the-pis-ip-address/844
- Download PuTTY
- Connect to your Raspberry Pi's IP
- Log in with the username;
piand passwordraspberry(standard username and password for Raspberry Pi's (not OctoPrint) - use your own if you've changed it) -
Copy and paste the two following lines (paste by right-clicking);
sudo wget https://simplyprint.io/software/install_system.shsudo bash install_system.sh
- Your Raspberry Pi can probably be reached via;
octopi.local, it not, see this; https://community.octoprint.org/t/finding-the-pis-ip-address/844 - Open the program "Terminal
- Write;
ssh [email protected]unless you have changed the username, password or hostname of your Raspberry Pi. - It may come up asking you to type "Yes" or "No" - type "Yes"
- Enter
raspberryas the password, unless you have changed it yourself -
Copy and paste the two following lines;
sudo wget https://simplyprint.io/software/install_system.shsudo bash install_system.sh
Does it not work, or do you get an error?
Error in OctoPrint setup
sudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get upgradesudo apt install git virtualenv build-essential python3-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev libgirepository1.0-devsudo rm -f install_system.sh update_script.shsudo wget https://simplyprint.io/software/install_system.shsudo bash install_system.sh
Y / n you should write Y, and if asked to press Q, press it.Still doesn't work? Our live-chat is down in the right corner - reach us there!
Connect your printers to the system
This is the last step before you can start using the system!
Simply click the "SETUP" button and select the Raspberry Pi that is attached to your printer.
When your printers are added to our system, we install some plugins for OctoPrint. We only install plugins that enhance your experience or that fix bugs caused by your specific printer's firmware. Click here to see which plugins we'll install.
You're all set up!
You have added to the system, and you're now ready to get started!
