Project purpose

The aim of the project was to enable monitoring (for safety reasons) of the printer's operation by measuring temperature and viewing the image from the camera.

Project physical components

• 3D Printer - Homers Tarantula Pro with mks sgen_l v1.0 motherboard and Marlin Firmware
• Raspberry Pi 2B
• 3x I2C temperature sensors
• Dedicated Raspberry Pi camera
• I2C OLED screen
• Multi-color LED diode
• SSR Relay + NPN-as-key circuit

Tech Stack

• Python OOP
• Flask
• Threading
• I2C + UART
• HTML, CSS, Chart.js
• Visual Studio Code Remote Development + Git
• 3D modeling (Siemens NX) + 3D printing

Project main functionality

• Monitor printer temperatures from built-in sensors (Printhead and Printbed) and I2C sensors
• Autonomous temperature monitoring - if they are not safe, printer will be shut down
• Show temperatures and camera preview on web page
