Octoprint w/RPi official 7" Touchscreen
Anyone built one of these recently ? I was hoping to build a stand-alone print controller such as seen here:

but am having no luck. I can get OP to work and the screen in console mode, but can’t get a GUI running (config to boot to GUI sends me into a maze of dependancies). The poster of this video says he used an older version and now can’t remember how he made it work.

Most of the other content I’ve seen online suggests the latest version should virtually work out of the box, any advice?

i followed the instructions here and it worked.

I did it like this. I can not recommend to use the same Pi for printing AND for the webUI+Touchscreen.

I’m using the Raspberry Pi 3 for both and i have no issues. But the Raspberry Pi 2 on the other hand was giving me issues even when i was watching the webcam stream and printing at the same time.
