Embedded Files
Description
The ultimate way to create physical artifacts from your digital creations. This project has students convert 2D images to 3D models, then uses a Raspberry Pi with OctoPrint OS to load the 3D file and create a timelapse of the 3D Print.

Details
Use the Raspberry Pi Imager to flash the OctoPrint OS on to an SD card. With a pi camera module or webcam connected to the pi, you can connect through any other computer, via browser, to Octopi. Then upload a gcode file and print!
In addition to having a variety of precise controls, octoprint can also create a timelapse recording of your print. (See below)
