From the Ender to OctoPrint
I brought the Ender 3 V2 into the shop in January 2021. By the following month I had added a Raspberry Pi and OctoPrint, then worked through calibration prints and setup.
Keep the role precise
This is setup, configuration, and printing on an existing printer platform. The calibration objects are reference prints, not claims of original model design.
An earlier printer setup
I brought the Ender 3 V2 into the shop in January 2021 and added a Raspberry Pi with OctoPrint the following month. I worked through the setup, connection, and calibration prints as I learned the machine. This page is useful because it shows the printer work before the later Voron and EffZero builds. It was a more basic system, but it taught me the setup and troubleshooting habits I carried into the next machines.
Credits & project notes
Setup and prints: Michael Pytlowany. Creality printer, Raspberry Pi, OctoPrint, and existing calibration models are credited as platform/reference inputs.
The original adhesion observation remains a personal report, not evidence that OctoPrint alone caused a change.
