When you say won't stream, do you mean? 1. You can't see video at all in octopi? 2. You can't access octopi outside of your home network? Thanks Duncan

Raspberry Pi 3B - Enclosure (rpi3b)
This is a plain enclusure for Raspberry Pi 3B. The complete enclosure is modeled from scratch. However, kudos to 0110-M-P and his design which I used before and got some ideas from.
Raspberry Pi 3B - 2.5" USB HDD (rpi3b-2.5drive)
Basing on the rpi3 enclosure above, a 2.5" HDD can be installed in a very compact way.
A BOM can be found on github under msonst/rpi-drive.

jadames added Raspberry Active Cooling Fan to the Raspberry_Pi Group

jadames — Wed, 28 Jun 2017 00:25:32 +0100

WARNING: Overclocking your Raspberry Pi 3 voids all warranties on your Pi. Only overclock it if you're willing to accept the risks and possible loss. To date, my Pi is running without issues.

If you have this case and want to overclock your Raspberry Pi, then a good fan is essential. Unfortunately this case doesn't easily support adding active cooling. My 3D printer came to the rescue. At first, I made it a single part in Sketchup and when I tried to find the best way to orient it for the printer, I decided to split it into 2 parts. I concluded that once printed, I would simply glue the pieces together. To my surprise, the tolerences of the parts are that I didn't even have to glue them!. I now run my Pi overclocked with the following settings:

arm_frequency = 1400
over_voltage = 4
gpu_frequency = 450
*setting may not work for all Pi 3s. Customise these settings specific to your Pi.

Since my memory doesn't have a heat sink, I'm hesitant to tweak memory frequency. The heat sink for memory didn't work with this case. I may add washers under the Pi to allow enough space for a memory heat sink.

Note, the fan wire can be routed in the small semi-circle cutout. The fan should be a 30mm X 30mm by 10mm depth. It is simply pressure fitted.

Another alternative for you to consider, and it sounds like it will be easier to configure than the Port Forwarding solution. There has been a new Plug-in for Octopi announced. The new plug-in enables connection of Octoprint to the PolarCloud Service. This will enable you to access your printer from any internet connection, connecting via PolarCloud. Have a look at this link: http://plugins.octoprint.org/plugins/polarcloud/ Regards, RoyG

ikr I read somewhere that astroprint was octoprint on steroids.. so I loaded it up. NOPE. Astroprint is a dumbed down, graphics-ed up version of octo. Astro immediately got reformatted with octoprint and that's been running ever since. Only exception to that was a few weeks where I loaded raspbian jessie....and installed octoprint over that. But there's no real advantages, its not trivial to setup, python doesnt play nice so plugins are fail, and having the lxde gui to monitor octoprints web gui just chokes a Pi3 anyway. Regular octoprint image ftw.

Try the way I have mine set - After following the instructions in the series to a T my friend had me set my Port Forwarding options to - External Ip start/endport to 0.0.0.0 and 8080/8080 port and Local IP Is the PI IP with 80/80 port. I can now access. I can now go to my No-IP site and see my stream

I did the port forwarding on my router page (I think correctly), but I do not know what the next step is. Do I have to do other stuff inside the pi? If not, do I just go to my external site showing Octopi? On my external site, the stream is not there.

Thanks for the input! Sorry it took a few to get back been busy with things outside of the printing relm, this was the exact problem I was having after watching the vids. I found and solved 1 issue I was having thanks to a friend - My ports werent configured correctly (wrong numbers for port had to do 8080/8080 vs 80) Im still having an issue with remote streaming but I was told about another way of doing it thats a lil safer (3rd party --> Youtube) Wich im thinking about that route since its much safer it sounds. My router does have a DMZ on it actually (yaay something brighthouse/spectrum did well!) Ill keep posted on it. Thanks again! Glitch

I've just quickly reviewed JMT's OctoPi vids, and you're right - he mentions the subject, but then doesn't actually explain how to do it. Sorry for the misdirection. I'm guessing that JMT choose to leave that part out of his OctoPi series when he realised how technical the subject was going to get. As mentioned in other comments, what you need to do to allow you to access your Octopi web stream, or to access Octopi itself, when you're away from home is to set up port forwarding. If your ISP has allocated the Internet side of your router a Fixed IP Address, then lucky you - all you need to do is to configure port forwarding on your router. But, it's more likely that you ISP changes the IP address allocated to the Internet side of your router periodically. In that case you'll also need to set-up Dynamic DNS. This video explains how. https://youtu.be/muBrjhso1tA CAUTION: Port forwarding, if done correctly, is fairly safe from an Internet Security viewpoint. But if you stuff the configuration up, you could be making your home network very insecure. Setting up port forwarding to your OctoPi means that anyone can get to your Pi from the Internet, and from the Pi, they maybe able to get to other devices on your home network. Therefore, you need to take some basic security steps on your Pi: 1) If you're still using the default password on your Pi, change that password immediately. 2) For added security create a new login name for yourself with the same group memberships as the Pi login name, and use that new login name as your usual login. Then when your new login is working properly (especially when sudo is working) then you can disable logins on the Pi login name. Disable logins on the Pi login name. DO NOT delete the Pi login name. 3) Ensure that you keep your Pi up to date daily so that you receive all security updates as soon as they're published. i.e sudo apt update, and sudo apt upgrade. In my experience, some routers don't do port forwarding very well. Cheap routers can lock up and require frequent rebooting when they try to port forward large amounts of data such as a video stream. If you find that port forwarding isn't working well on your router, then there is another option that may work. You could implement a DMZ (De-Militarised Zone) on your router. Not all home routers have a DMZ capability, but if your router does, then you're lucky. If you need to go down the DMZ path, then read up on DMZ in your Router's Instruction Manual, then look for some videos on setting up a DMZ. I hope that info is useful. Regards, RoyG

if you want to see your webcam over the world wide web you need to port forward your pi. if you dont port forward you can only see it through your local network(everything connected to your router/modem).

You're probably going to need to give more detail than that, but my initial guess is because you're not on the same WiFi network and the port isn't forwarded on your router (and it shouldn't be unless you specifically set it to be open).

Current status of the plugin can even handle the fire detector and extinguisher using the event triggers, LCD monitor using I2C is on the road map for the next iteration. The most difficult part is saving the status of the print and returning, because it is not supported by RAMBO, it would be a hack, you need to stop the print, get here is the current print line, or code, save that information to a non volatile memory, turn off the printer. After turning on, you would need to heat everything back on, and starting printing again. Not trivial, but i think i might be doable. Reading UPS status and power usage on raspberry pi is easy, I would just use a current sensor on the mains wire.

barrettdent — Thu, 22 Jun 2017 07:04:34 +0100

I'm interested in the enclosure temperature being on the OctoPrint temperature page too. Some people are going to think this is overkill. But I'm envisioning building quite an advanced enclosure. Of course I'll probably be building this in stages. I'll definitely be using the DHT22/AM2302, a filament run out sensor, LED lighting control and controlling multiple DC fans. Most likely a heater too, though perhaps not immediately. All pretty much falls within the scope of the current plugin. Where I'm looking to get fancy is with the enclosure and printer power management. I want integrated metering to track energy usage. (doable with Raspbian?) Also with UPS management to pause, save current progress, and alert me to restart prints when the power returns (I recently read about someone successfully setting up something similar.) Where my plans potentially get more interesting is adding a fire detection auto-shut off feature with the future potential to trigger active fire suppression (CO2.) My current thought is using multiple IR flame detection sensors and MQ2 smoke gas sensors (to cover both the printer and control box compartments.) At least that cuts off the power. Initially I think an AFO extinguisher ball may have to suffice for actual suppression (though I still need to check local bylaws to find out whether I can use them legally. Fireworks are pretty heavily regulated here and the AFO balls are basically a firework that spreads flame retardant powder.) I've also got a 20x4 Yellow Green LCD display that I would like to display stats (or cycle them) such as current temp/humidity, fan status and fan speeds (%), target temp/humidity, voltage/amperage, and power consumption stats. Heck, if I could figure out a means to auto-detect and halt failed (spaghetti) prints, I'd add that too! Thoughts? (Constructive please.)

The onboard wifi is not capable of creating a hotspot, or LAN (Local Area Network). This is needed to connect to the AstroBox for the first time. In order to setup the AstroBox you will need a wifi dongle. AstroPrint recommends this dongle: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003MTTJOY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 This is outlined here: https://astroprint.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/203641685-Which-WiFi-USB-dongles-are-supported- Once the setup of the AstroBox OS is complete you can disconnect the dongle and automatically use the onboard wifi of a Raspberry Pi 3. Raspberry Pi 1B to 2B do not have on board wifi. This was also a problem that OctoPrint faced when the RasPi 3B was released with onboard wifi. Setup is outlined here, follow the links: https://astroprint.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/202638775-Creating-your-own-Raspberry-Pi-AstroBox They suggest the use of Etcher for OS image burning to your SD card. I have used Etcher for some time and it is great and avoids the problems I had with other SD card image burners. A link to the software is in the AstroPrint setup instructions, just follow the links. Once setup is complete you can disconnect the dongle and onboard wifi will be automatically used. I prefer the performance of the dongle over that of the onboard wifi, so I leave my dongle connected. Should your internet service ever go offline, your LAN connection should still work, or by simply entering this line of code into the terminal prompt you can activate the hotspot again and connect through the dongle if connected: "sudo service wifi_access_point start". Obviously, don't type the quotation marks. By doing this you can connect as outlined in the setup prompts or by accessing the hotspot network and going to the address "http://10.10.0.1/". Should you ever have any problems the AstroPrint support is great and they always respond fairly quickly with great advise. https://astroprint.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new Hope you enjoy AstroPrint, I know I do. Good luck, and happy printing.

Thanks for the reply, I was just wondering, I've been playing around with astroprint but haven't gotten it to work as I don't have a wifi dongle but I'm just curious about how you said after the setup it uses the onboard wifi. What do you mean by that?

Unfortunately 3d4uandme is correct. You are going to be better off going with the units that are designed for this purpose. Its not at simple as which pins go where. There are low profile screens that can get the job done that are dirt cheap. http://ebay.to/2t76XmQ Setup is a bit hairy on these (recommend using the custom raspbian image) but it will be far easier than trying to create an adapter from scratch. But hey, getting the dashcam screen to work might be a fun side project. Just be ready for a lot of research and work.
