I connected octoprint with rasberry B (not plus) everything prefect.

I connected octoprint with rasberry B (not plus) everything prefect. Did anyone put the ribbon cable from the left side? I am afraid that the length of the ribbon cable is not enough from that side.

I've tried several positions and the cable length isn't much of an issue for me. I also used the extension cable in addition to the extra long one with the adapter included (for the small raspberry zero). But at least with the big dual print head it's impossible to not run the print head into the camera!

I did the same thing and have no issues. Just make sure you watch the camera getting hit as fg stated. It will happen if placed a tad to close.

You can also position the camera on the other side of the platform to prevent the dual head from bumping into it during auto-levelling.

    How do I upload changes in Marlin while the Raspberry in mounted?

    Discussion 
    I installed the Raspberry and the camera yesterday and I am wondering now how I upload changes in the Marlin Firmware (the probe settings for example) without disassembling the blue USB Cable from the Raspberry Pi.

    Raspberry camera is shaking

    Discussion 
    Hi! Has anyone created a successful timelapse?! Every video I recorded is an absolute mess with blurred video frames due to the fact that the printer/camera is shaking a lot. I even stabilized the camera with another 2020 extrusion on the endstop side of the X axis that enables me to mount the camera directly in the center of the build platform. I thought of creating a kind of gimbal/mechanical stabalizer to mount the camera on but there must be a better solution...? 😉 Thanks!

    SD Card Support

    Discussion 
    I have found that the SD card is not naitively supported on octoprint with the current configuration of marlin. Before i enable SD Card Support on marlin is there any reason this was left disabled? If i enable it is there any recommendations for setting the SPI speed?
