RE: octoprint plugins

Since you said you have a Raspberry Pi Zero W (not Zero 2 W), I would not do too much in the way of plugins: a stock octoprint and printing will be pushing it near its limit.

You could use the pi zero to bridge the serial interface over wifi, run octoprint with all the plugins you want on another computer on your network, and connect it to the printer's ip address using the Network-Printing Plugin. That's how I do it.

Thanks sounds confusing but I will look into it

It's pretty simple. Just install socat and run

socat TCP-LISTEN:12345,reuseaddr file:/dev/ttyAMA0,nonblock,waitlock=/var/run/ttyAMA0.lock

Make it a systemd service so it runs on startup...

[Unit]
Description=USB Serial Bridge for MK3 Printer
After=network-online.target
Wants=network-online.target

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=socat TCP-LISTEN:12345,reuseaddr file:/dev/ttyAMA0,nonblock,waitlock=/var/run/ttyAMA0.lock
Restart=always

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
