I’m a huge fan of octoprint on raspberry pi. I’m not a huge fan of raspberry pi lately. I’ve heard of le potato and orange pi. Some searching shows that people have done it on both of those.

Does anyone have any experience running it on a small board computer other than raspi?

    I’m in camp Klipper and built my printer during the PI shortage. I did find a non-scalped PI400 (the one with a built in keyboard), but my fallback was going to be an x86 based SBC. They’re cheap and readily available. I suspect one would work well with octoprint.

      I agree. If the printer can run klipper firmware, I find mainsail/klippper to be far superior to octoprint. I started with octoprint and stock manufacturer FW on my printer, but it’s just such a significantly better product and UX with klipper FW and managing with mainsail.
