thingiverse

3D Printer Host is a do it yourself electronic device created with a wifi enabled Adafruit Feather, a Neopixel ring, and a 3D printed enclosure. The device connects to OctoPrint via its API and the wonderful OctoPrint API library for Arduino. It displays the prints progress as well as state on the Neopixel ring. The 3D Printer Host also connects to Alexa via Thingspeak and a custom skill which allows a user to ask Alexa about many aspects of their printer and find details about any current print.

First, you can print the 'Base', 'Outer Cover', and 'Inner Cover' in a color of your choice and print the 'Cover Slip' out of a transparent filament. The three cover parts will snap together causing the Neopixel ring to shine directly through the transparent filament. Second, the 'Base', 'Outer Cover', and 'Inner Cover' can be printed out of a color of your choice allowing the raw Neopixels to be seen. The third option is to print the 'Full Cover' along with the 'Base' in a lighter color filament and let the light shine through the single color of the cover.
