Description

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.
So the device also needs some power to not be overloaded by the image processing.
Besides, current Raspberry Pi's are hardly affordable at the moment, even on Ebay and similar platforms.
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.

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.

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 <4W idle consumption.

Now, however, the whole thing should be nicely brought together with the printer.

So I created the mount here. Prerequisite: A raised printer with higher feet, as this requires about 3cm under the printer.

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.
Now the holder can simply be inserted directly under the drawer via right V-slots. Subsequently, some wiring and ready.

What can I say, the result can be seen I think. But see for yourself.
