We absolutely need a "top-down executive overview" of Octoprint. What it is, what it does. EVERY tool and piece of software should have this as the very first paragraph.
"...on a private network to control..."
I think I would be specific here because some people believe that "if it's a webserver, it was made for the Internet itself". Also, the use of the world "remotely" to many people means "remotely over the Internet".
Again, I'd drop the word "remotely" in descriptions.
I'd say "Raspberry Pi 3B" here.
"There are currently over 100 plugins available."
An RPi 2 is working just fine and staying well under 50% load, until the next batch of 3B+'s arrive. But then I'm just starting with Octoprint.
And where does one find these plug-ins? There are only about a dozen that show up in Cura 3.4.1.
Why are you looking for octoprint plugins in cura? OctoPrint plugins are located in a repository that you can access through OctoPrint's login UI. If you need help with that, please start a new topic so to keep this thread on topic.
excuse me. I'm new to this forum. Will do.
