Which Raspberry model?

Hi Folks!

I´m planning to by an Raspberry PI 4B for getting started with this amazing octoprint tool for handling my Ender 5 Plus printer.
But now i´m wondering if you can give me a tip which 4B version i should buy. There are versions with different RAM sizes available. 1, 2, 4 & 8 GB.
How many RAM do i need at least for running octoprint stable on the Raspberry?

Many Thanks in advance!

Cheers, Bertl

The 1GB one is no longer made, but if you can get it (cheaper) than the 2GB one it is enough.

OctoPrint itself has a low memory footprint, but if you want to add something like a screen and OctoDash then you may need some extra resources. So go 1GB/2GB depending on how you think you will use it, just for OctoPrint or adding additional bits onto it.

我原来用树莓派3B，后来因为要用octolapse，才升级到3B+。现在已经换成了1GB的树莓派4B版本

我也使用过采用全志H6、1GB内存的开发板，运行也很流畅。
