With Raspberry Pi Camera priced £25 and HQ version over £70 (with a lens), this could be a much more expensive option than picking up a Raspberry Pi 4 and using a spare webcam laying around. It’s quick enough for Octoprint and many other tasks, it has enough RAM (512MB) to support the processor, but with a single USB port options for using it as an Octoprint server are limited.īy default, you will be forced to use a Raspberry Pi Camera, that connects to the camera header on the board, as the only micro USB port will be used for connecting to a 3D printer. Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W is an awesome and inexpensive upgrade to any Raspberry Pi Zero project. (Benchy)marking Octorprint on Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W

Is WiFi fast enough to support a 1080p stream… is 512 RAM enough for all plugins I use… and so on. It’s all great, but with limited I/O (read as a single USB port) I have more questions: Can I share the USB port with a webcam, 3D printer and a USB Ethernet adapter. From my benchmark and the official Octoprint account, we know that the recently released Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W is fast enough to run an Octoprint server for your 3D printer.
