Does anyone know of light weight version of Cura that can run on PI

Does anyone know of light weight version of Cura that can run on PI computer? I really like how this slicer engine works with the Printrbot simple. Or does anyone know of opensource PI software that uses the Cura engine?

The new octopi has Cura support.

Thanks that is what I was hoping for. I will build a octopi print server.

Piece of cake.

I saw it has Octopi support but how do I use it? Can you link to a tutorial?

@Adam_Steinmark https://youtu.be/EHzN_MwunmE youtube video on the setup

@John_Car I used the same video to set up the pi but how do you slice with Cura from Octoprint?

http://xyzbots.com reprapweb has cura and slic3r built in.

Which one to use LOL octopi or repraweb??? I guess I can format 2 cards and play with them both.

I like the time lapse that Octoprint has. Never tried RepRapweb

@Keith_Applegarth with RRW you can easily create a timelapse, here’s a script you can use on any BSD or Linux system…

github.com

andrewhodel/reprapweb/blob/master/rrw_timelapse.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

if [ -d "timelapse" ]; then
	echo "Please remove the ./timelapse directory and re-run this script"
	echo ""
	exit
fi

# exit if user gave no args
if [ $# -eq 0 ];then
	echo "RepRapWeb Timelapse Script"
	echo "USAGE:"
	echo "./rrw_timelapse.sh 192.168.0.50 1 4"
	echo "----"
	echo "The example above would create a timelapse from the RRW instance"
	echo "running at the IP Address 192.168.0.50.  Every 1 second a snapshot"
	echo "would be taken and 4 snapshots would go into each second of video"
	echo "----"
	echo "The script will create a directory named timelapse containing all"
	echo "of the timelapse images and a timelapse video named timelapse.mp4"
