I can't edit my post sorry 

I have 4 PRUSA and want to connected it to a PI 4 🙂

I know you can do more than one, but I typically keep it to one per Pi.

RE: how many printers on one raspberry pi 4

thanks, I will test Repetier I think it is the best option to drive multiple printers

but I like the octoprint interface 🙂

maybe prusa connect will resolve this problem soon ? 🙂

If that is what you need, then that is probably best.

You certainly can run more than one instance of OctoPrint on a Pi but given the price the price of a Pi why would you bother?

It would be nice to have a suitable and capable filament manager that is stable on the same pi managing the filament across all PIs connected.  Currently, the best option is a single PI.

hi,

thanks for your answers

i have a pi zero per printer currently (3 minis et 1 mk3s), in fact it is affordable.

but I also have a pi4 for dev purposes (a web interface in Django) and I asked myself about 1 pi for multiple printers as a pi zero is 'just enough' as cpu to run octoprint. it works, but it's 'limit' 🙂

Chris Riley has some great videos on this:

Then you can centrally manage the instances with Octofarm.

Here is one he just did on this topic, but search his channel for more on Ocotprint.

I am glad I did not wait for the Prusa Farm Software.
