[@Tennasaur]

Literally the best video I've found on installing Octoprint to windows. Thank you so much, Im so surprised this doesnt have more views and likes. Easy and simple! Great job. Off to watch the webcam video now hahaha

Thank you so much for your feedback! I really do appreciate it👍

This is awesome. I'm on day 2 of my first 3D printer (Ender 3 v2 Neo) and all this time I mistakenly thought that I needed a Raspberry Pi to do what Octaprint does. Awesome! Thank you so much!

[@LeoTechLab]

Thank you for your feedback, and welcome to the awesome 3D printing world! Glad the video was useful 👍

Before viewing your video I watched 2 videos on installing Octoprint on an old mini PC and the results were disastrous..YOUR video is the ONLY one that allowed me to finally install Octoprint on that little computer. You Sir, are AMAZING! thank you!. Now I have to learn how to setup a camera and connect Cura to it...Thank you again and I subscribed to your channel. keep up the gret work Leo!

Great tutorial. Thanks, helped me a lot.

That's great, very glad it helped, thank you!

Great video. Seen others but this one is straight forward. Thank you. I do have a question. How do I find out my AXES for my Ender 5 Plus? I set mine like your for now until I find my settings or if you can help. Thank you again!

[@LeoTechLab]

Thank you for your feedback! You can use the M503 command inside octoprint terminal to get the specs for your machine. Also, you can look at Ender communities in Facebook and ask for help there. Another option, you can take a look at the settings from the slicer profile for your printer. Hope this helps👍

Great tutorial, only problem is I got stuck right after the installation succeeded. Could not start the web interface. The Octoprint service was not running and I could find no way to start it. I gave up and used Printrun instead for what I needed to do.

[@LeoTechLab]

That's too bad, but if you got it working for your needs, that's great as well👍

[@Kneadingkitty]

Thank you for the video. Is there any cons with using Windows pc over linux?

[@LeoTechLab]

In my experience, none. In fact, I use mostly windows servers, but both windows and linux work fine for this use case. You are welcomed to check out my Linux tutorial for this topic as well.

[@John-gm8ty]

the latest installer includes choosing your IP address so thats not longer manual.

[@LeoTechLab]

Thank you for the update👍

@@LeoTechLab also of note, I tried installing into C:\Program Files (x86) and could not get it work, uninstalling and reinstalling into the default c:/ rectified the issue and everything works now.

[@RyanTheGamer151]

My printer is connecting as USB Serial instead of a COM port, do you know how to fix this?

[@LeoTechLab]

COM ports are serial interfaces. USB serial interfaces are also represented by COM ports in windows. I don't understand what the problem is...

[@RyanTheGamer151]

@@LeoTechLab Oh, in Device manager instead of showing up in COM and LPT is shows up in Other devices as USB Serial and it has an exclamation mark next to it. And when it's like that it doesn't connect to octoprint

[@LeoTechLab]

What is the reported problem by the USB serial device? It could be a driver issue, maybe... Is this the first time you're trying to connect your printer to this PC?

[@karlu_z]

same problem

[@karlu_z]

@@LeoTechLab it says that the drivers are not installed

[@brunobellomunhoz]

I have the SV06 plus, where can I get the specs from?

[@LeoTechLab]

User manual, Sovol website ot Sovol user forums.
