USB bottlenecks with OctoPrint?
Posted: January 4th, 2019, 12:52 pm
I kept hearing about "bottlenecks" using my Raspberry Pi 3 Octoprint and wanted to delve into it.
I asked on the Octoprint Forum and got a marvelous, really great read on how things work and where the slow downs occur.
Long story short, the USB controller on your 3D Printer controlbox is the key factor. Print fast, you'll see worse results. Print slower, within the margins the UART can work with, you're prints will look fine.
Here's the thread...enjoy!
