How to Add an OctoPrint Touchscreen to Any 3D Printer (Ender 3 + Others!)

In this episode, I'll teach you how to add a touchscreen to any 3D printer for use with OctoPrint, further improving your 3D printing experience. As an example, I'll be adding the OctoPrint touchscreen to my Creality Ender 3 -- but this video will work for any 3D printer that supports OctoPrint. I'll cover everything from hardware to software to what you'll need! --- ● See my full OctoPrint touchscreen guide on howchoo: https://howchoo.io/full-octoprint-tou... ● See my Ender 3-specific OctoPrint touchscreen guide: https://howchoo.io/ender-3-octoprint-... ● US - Everything you'll need (direct links to Amazon US): 1.
