What is the EZPi?
The EZPi is a pre-setup, tuned, and configured OctoPrint kit. OctoPrint is an open source project that lets you easily control your printer from your computer, smartphone, tablet, or laptop. You can send your Gcode over to the EZPi through your web browser so no more tinkering with SD cards! You can also connect a USB camera to the EZPi to do monitoring and timelapses of your prints. There are a ton of features that can be added in addition to what we load like PushBullet integration, YouTube Live Streaming, and much more!
The EZPi is built the OctoPi image and customized by TH3D for the best user experience. All the hardware has been fully tested to correctly work together so you can have a very reliable and robust 3D printer control platform.
EZPi Getting Started Documentation
TH3D is also a supporter of the Octoprint Project and a portion of each kit sale will be donated directly to Gina (foosel) to help support her and the continued development of the Octoprint project.
Shipping Time Note: All EZPi Orders ship in 1-2 days as we hand assemble them here in the US. Every kit is powered on and tested before shipping.
Key features

Seems you’ve been out of stock on this for quite awhile now with no estimate on availability. Would you recommend I try another system like the ones from Europe?

Came as advertised! Thanks for a great build and very functional upgrade. Can’t wait to see what this thing can do! Thanks is for my CR-10 and I think this will only fuel my desire to increase and improve my 3D printing capabilities!

Hi, just want to mention that it’s now AUGUST and the product is still out of stock. I am eager to purchase this and get to printing! My CR10-MAX is crapping out on me and I am desperate to get this machine working. Hope you guys stock up very soon. Thanks for the good work.

We’ve had stock on and off but it looks like we’re waiting on some parts for the kit to come in. They should be back in stock in 1-2 days tops. You can hit “add to wishlist” to be emailed when they come back in stock.

We are out of stock on some parts. If you click “Add to wishlist” on the page you will get an email when we re-stock. The Pi kit should be back in stock on 5/8/20. As for the cameras we cannot get them at any kind of reasonable price so those will likely be out of stock for many more months as logitech and none of our logitech part suppliers have them.

Can the printer be operated remotely through the internet or is it necessary to be connected to the same Wi-Fi?

Can I connect two Prusa MK3S to the module with USB and decide what to print individually

Tim Hoogland –
The EZPi is setup for 1 machine only. If you look online there are workarounds for running multiple printers off 1 Pi but it kind of hacky and not very reliable.

Stock it will be LAN access only. But there is a plugin here that allows external access without port forwarding: https://www.thespaghettidetective.com. This is a 3rd party service and not affiliated with TH3D but we’ve used it and it works well. It is compatible with our EZPi setups.

Is there a way to attach this to a printer? Or a 3d case that would allow for that for this configuration?

Tim Hoogland –
This is meant to sit next to the printer on a desk. But having a mount is a good idea! I’ll bring it up to Aaron who does all our part designs. 🙂

Any problem chaning wireless provider down the road?? Would “test” at one location and then after all is working properly, move to another location/different wifi access
(0) (0) Watch Unwatch
Tim Hoogland –
You can easily update the wifi by removing the SD card and putting it into a PC. If you are well versed with linux you can SSH into the Pi and change it before powering it down before moving it. We have a video for changing the wifi setup here: EZPi Wifi Setup

So it’s not able to have multiple wifi saved

Tim Hoogland –
You can save 1 wifi network in the configuration file for the EZPi. Right now OctoPrint only supports one network to be added. You can see here how to set the wifi information: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WD2074TAln8

Question
Don Knisley –
The LCD mentioned in the description is not in the images. What does it look like? Also, is the power blocker only needed for a POE connection?
(0) (0) Watch Unwatch
Tim Hoogland –
The LCD is the printer LCD itself, there is no LCD on the EZPi kit itself. The power blocker is to prevent the printer LCD from staying on if you turn off the printer power supply (with the printer power switch or a wifi outlet if you have one setup).
