I am using a raspberry pi 3 Model B+ connected to a Sindoh 3DWOX 1 3d printer. When I login to Octoprint, I only see "Auto" under serial port and am not able to find the 3d printer.
What printer is it? Do have a premium quality USB cord?
Sorry, overseen the printer name in your first post...
There are some printer known have a different USB technique the the most.
Usually, the USB signal are converted to serial signal (kind of RS232).
Some printers have other boars that do it another way.
I strongly assume that it is no Marlin firmware running on the printer.
Ok. So does that mean I'm out of luck and won't be able to use Octoprint?
Maybe someone else here has an idea
Searching for any support information for this printer is drawing a total blank.
Try remoting into the Raspberry. With the printer disconnected, do an ls -l in the /dev folder. Plug the printer in and run the command again. Also, run dmesg right after connecting the printer and look for anything that shows up in the log. Sometimes, this will show you what the printer's device is. Knowing this, you could then configure it manually in the ~/.octoprint/config.yaml file.
Hello,
Are there any updates on the topic? I am considering buying Sindoh 3DWOX 2x (I believe it uses the same software as Sindoh 3DWOX 1) and would like to use OctoPrint software to control it. Does anyone has experience using Sindoh 3DWOX 2x or Sindoh 3DWOX 1 with OctoPrint?
Nobody here has experience. Try searching the Internet again since 7 months have passed.
From what I read, I don't believe it will be possible to control this printer with OctoPrint. I'm not sure I'd want a printer with proprietary filament requirements.
I have a Sindoh 3DWOX1 and I have not yet tried to use octoprint which I use on my other printers. I do see it is supported by Polar Cloud and 3DPrinterOS so it must not be that proprietary. I'll post here once I plug in to Octo. Thanks!
