I’m a huge fan of octoprint on raspberry pi. I’m not a huge fan of raspberry pi lately. I’ve heard of le potato and orange pi. Some searching shows that people have done it on both of those.

Does anyone have any experience running it on a small board computer other than raspi?

    Sure while the printer is going, but are you ever going to turn the computer off? I’m sure as hell not going to which is why idle consumption matters so much to me.

      Why not? When I was using a Pi to run my old printer via Octoprint, I turned the whole shebang off at the power strip when I wasn’t using it. The Pi doesn’t have a power button, so it was easiest to just killswitch the entire kit and kaboodle.
