Printify 3D Web-App 🌐🖨️ (Working Progress...)

Printify 3D is a web app designed to make 3D printers accessible over a network, even without an internet connection. This solution involves configuring a Raspberry Pi Zero W to act as a USB device and running this web app.

Main Features ✨

• Remote Access: Make your 3D printer accessible over a local network.
• Simple Setup: Easy configuration process using a Raspberry Pi Zero W and Node.js.

Prerequisites 🛠️

• Hardware:

  • Raspberry Pi Zero W
  • 3D Printer with USB connectivity

• Software:

  • Node.js installed on the Raspberry Pi

Setup Guide 📖

Step 1: Configure Raspberry Pi Zero W as USB 🔌

1. Flash Raspbian OS:

   • Download and flash the Raspbian OS onto your Raspberry Pi Zero W.

2. Enable USB Gadget Mode:

   • Edit the /boot/config.txt file and add the following line at the end:

     dtoverlay=dwc2
     

   • Edit the /boot/cmdline.txt file and add modules-load=dwc2,g_ether after rootwait.

3. Configure Network:

   • Create a file named ssh (without any extension) and place it in the /boot directory to enable SSH.
   • Create a wpa_supplicant.conf file in the /boot directory with your Wi-Fi credentials:

     country=US
     ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
     update_config=1
     
     network={
         ssid="your_SSID"
         psk="your_PASSWORD"
     }
     

Step 2: Install Node.js on Raspberry Pi 🚀

1. Connect to Raspberry Pi:

   • Connect to your Raspberry Pi via SSH:

     ssh [email protected]
     

2. Update and Install Node.js:

   • Update your package lists:

     sudo apt update
     

   • Install Node.js:

     sudo apt install -y nodejs npm
