<p>I was looking for a possibility to operate my 3D printer power-saving via Octoprint, so that I can also create timelapses and so on.<br>So the device also needs some power to not be overloaded by the image processing.<br>Besides, current Raspberry Pi's are hardly affordable at the moment, even on Ebay and similar platforms.<br>So I became aware of a small ThinClient from Dell, the Dell Wyse 3040. 4x Atom x5 CPU, 2GB RAM and 8 GB flash memory, enough for Octoprint. It is also easy to install a slimmed down Debian on it, which is what I need for my purposes.</p><p>No sooner said than done, I bought the ThinClient, installed Debian, installed Octoprint and plugged it in. It runs. It even runs very well. I can also take timelapse pictures without any problems. And the livestream is also very smooth without overusing the device.</p><p>So now I've gone from a stationary PC with 120W idle consumption to a laptop with about 20W idle consumption to the ThinClient with &lt;4W idle consumption.</p><p>Now, however, the whole thing should be nicely brought together with the printer.</p><p>So I created the mount here. Prerequisite: A raised printer with higher feet, as this requires about 3cm under the printer.</p><p>This is easy to print with PLA, 20% infill and for safety with 3 walls. Duration with my GCode about 5 hours and 15 minutes.<br>Now the holder can simply be inserted directly under the drawer via right V-slots. Subsequently, some wiring and ready.</p><p>What can I say, the result can be seen I think. But see for yourself.</p><p><br>Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)</p>
