Anyone who owns a 3D printer has probably heard of Octoprint, the powerful software you can load onto a Raspberry Pi to help monitor your 3D printing, as well as benefit from a wealth of additional features. This week the YouTube channel Teaching Tech has compared both a new Creality WIFI Box vs Octoprint.
“Octoprint is an amazingly powerful, free and open source addition to your 3D printer. So can Creality provide a viable alternative for roughly half the price of a Raspberry Pi? The short answer in no.. In my opinion, based on my testing, this product is vastly inferior to Octoprint. In addition to the summary at the end of the video, Octoprint is compatible with many webcams and you can add cloud slicing or slicing on the Pi if you prefer.”

– Powerful performance: Ultra-stable collection of software and hardware.
