I strongly recommend to follow this instructions from Prusa which are very good and also contain links to the Octoprint Image that is already prepared for the MK3, the Pi frame and the updated chassis for the electronics. I am using this one Thingiverse MK3 case for Pi You can find plenty on Thingiverse or use the one from Prusa. Then I would recommend printing a new case for the MK3 that allows you to get access to the Pi without the need to disassemble the whole printer every time. This is important as the "usual" ones are to short!Īnd maybe most important soldering equipment and skill!! The 3D printed frame, that is available from Prusa.Īnd a 18mm GPIO header dual male strip. So what you need is the Raspberry Pi Zero W(for WLAN) itself.Ī memory card, as priced dropped on black Friday and you never have enough I used a 16Gb card this time. I am using the Telegram bot plugin, to receive messages from my printer and send commands with my smart phone.Īnd because I like it so much I also want to have this on my cloned MK3.

I have to admit that I used my original MK3 with the SD card for months until I did the Raspberry Pi Zero W upgrade.

No external power source or cabling required.

One thing I really love about my Prusa MK3 and especially about the Einsy Rambo board is the ability to stack a Raspberry Pi Zero W on that board.
