3 3dfarm.io Show HN: Control multiple 3D printers from a single Raspberry Pi I built a web service to help manage large printer farms after creating a solution for my brother's online shop with 40 printers.The system uses NATS for comms between Raspberry Pis and the backend, with each cluster isolated via separate NATS accounts.Users can download a custom Pi image with pre-configured node credentials.Based on testing, each Pi can reliably handle 10-20 active printers. Scaling is straightforward - add more Pis to manage more printers. 2 points alexyoung91 1 year ago 0 comments
