I opted to follow along with the tutorial rather than use the script. Excellent tutorial! Thank you so much. I was going to buy another Pi to run my second printer. When I went to order one, I was absolutely shocked by the current prices! Crazy. I was happy that a KZitem search yielded this gem. I am successfully running a Creality CR-6 SE and a Sovol SV04 on a Raspberry Pi 4. Both printers use Creality boards and all of the attributes are exactly the same so I had to go with the "last ditch effort" and use the devpath attribute. So far, so good. I have restarted the printers multiple times and in different orders. I've shut down everything and connected printer 1 only, printer 2 only, and both printers together. I can connect and print on both printers at the same time. To keep things organized, I bookmarked the tabs for the two instances of Octoprint (xxx.xxx.xx.xx and xxx.xxx.xx.xx:5001) and gave them the same name as the printer I want to control with that tab. I also created a printer profile for each printer on its corresponding tab.

Hi Chris, I used this instruction to set up my two E5+ printers to my octopi and it works great. Only thing I can't get to show up is my first printer in the first instance of octoprint. I checked and double checked the Vendor, Product, and Serial numbers as well as the link name. printer two shows up in octoprint2 instance but printer one just connects to tty/ACM0. Cams show up fine. Printers work fine. It's just one of those things that you feel like you just HAVE to figure out LOL..... Great lesson and big help for my first time at using Octoprint. Thanks

@@ChrisRiley Hey, I solved that problem. Under the serial connection I had added /dev/OctoEndeer1 and it should've been OctoEnder1. One extra character. I having a little issue with my octolapse on the second instance right now. And I haven't tried it on the first instance yet. Starts to print then instead of taking the initial photo the head goes to home and the bed just starts going down down down . So this morning I have a message that an update to octoprint is available. So I figured why not go ahead and update then start dealing with the octolapse issue. Well I did the update on instance one and no problem. Now, of course it only updated the first instance. So I run the update on instance 2 and it says it completes but could not restart, restart manually. So, I restart and its not updated. So, I'm going through your little walkthrough to copy and edit the files so that they are all pointing in the right directions and I'm sure that will take care of that part. And yes I know this is all just for entertainment purposes and all that, but my guy....... It is something that works pretty well when all the wheels get a little grease. I am actually able to see both printers with OctoEverywhere when I'm away. (Havent been able to control them for some reason. But I can SEE em....LOL)

So I changed it to the wan IP with 8081 as the port. Still not go. I tried a few other configurations to no avail. I should also add that I have configured my router to forward all the appropriate ports. Any ideas?

@@ChrisRiley I appreciate the reply. I ma 100% positive it is not the routerter. I am sure you doubt that., and its ok. On the old set up I had to forward the 8081 port on the octo2 and use the public ip on octo2 to configure it. On.18 I have it set up with the 192.x.x.x ip on the pi and forwarded 5001, 8080, and 8081. No go. I tried setting up webcam2 on the pi with the public IP as I did on the old version, and no go. One thing to note is that on the older version of octopi you could access the webcam streams directly in the browser outside of Octoprint. With .18 you can not wether you are in or out of the network. Its like they have been firewalled. Try it and see if you can. Id be curious. For now I went back to two separate Raspberry Pis. I know its not your job to provide support, and Im not really asking for it. I just think there is something in .18 preventing it, and if there is maybe in the future you can figure it out. Its beyond me.

When I type in the SN manually for the webcam (that I got off the box) it will not connect that way either, I suspect it more information, or the SN is digitally different.

A few questions: - How do I duplicate a Raspberry Pi SD card image and maintain the structure and files? I remember reading somewhere I can't just copy-paste the files Once the SD card has been duplicated: - How do I change the Wifi details? - How do I make the Octopi web address different from the original?

The small rpi camera is perfect for mounting on the printer. My goal is to have a top down (c920), an x-axis cam, and a front camera to catch the majority of the printer.

My 1st instance, these commands work fine; sudo service octoprint restart sudo shutdown -r now sudo shutdown -h now My 2nd instance, these commands fail to execute; sudo service octoprint2 restart sudo shutdown -r now sudo shutdown -h now I named my 2nd instance octoprint2 (as in the vid) and I didn't create 2 more instances. Octoprint gives me an error message saying command failed to execute. I have had to use the 1st instance to reboot as I'm not sure in Restart Octoprint is actually restarting both instances. Seems like that tho. Any insight would be great. Again, You're a F**kin badass!

I'm working with this on my two printers...One glaring issue has presented itself. The two printers are completely different, but both ID exactly the same for USB. I have figured out the nuances for starting them up so they would not just flip-flop for the IP and port, kinda confusing at first. But, now what happens is that if you have both going at the same time and pause/cancel a print on one of them, it does it on both printers. It's led to the following conclusion, just run two pi's. They are pretty cheap, and I have several 3 b+'s that have nothing to do anyways. It's not a big issue to cancel a print and have both printers stop printing...that is unless you printing a 14hr print and it just stops at 13.5hrs, ask me how I know.

great video. I have 2x ender 3 + 1x Ender 6.... All them have the same id and no serial.. How can i change the name of the listing for the printers on octoprint? I did all you do , but its showed "/dev/tty/USB0" ,"/dev/tty/USB1/ , and usb2 :(

It will show those, but it should show the ones you named as well. Did you use devpath?

Make sure your base directory and services file are correct. Does it fail when you start it manually? sudo systemctl start octoprint2

So i am trying to use this hack with the multicam plugin (but one octoprint instance), but it doesnt seem to work. Followed your guide to the detail. I didnt find any guide for my particular problem for the 0.18

@@ChrisRiley Thanks for the Answer, I was able to get it to run with this guide:hatoum.com/blog/2020/5/27/install-both-a-raspberry-pi-camera-and-a-usb-camera-on-octopi-017 It works, but it seems since my endoscope doesnt have a serial number something is off and octoprint sometimes looses connection to one of those cameras, i also had one octoprint crash. Im not really sure whats going on, but it kinda works for now.

i have a small addon for people who are having a problem with systemctl start webcamd2 First of all instead of copying using cp use this command instead: touch webcamd webcamd2 ( make sure u are already in /root/bin directory ) after that to copy all permissions to the file do this command: sudo chmod --reference=webcamd webcamd2 After that try starting ur webcamd2 by sudo systemctl start webcamd2 and u can check the status with sudo systemctl status webcamd2 I had a problem with bash script not being copied over as a bash file but rather than a normal txt this solved the problem for me. Same thing works if octoprint2.service doesnt start. use the same logic. Sorry @Chris for adding this just trying to help

Thank you! This was a huge pain in my butt because my octoprint.service somehow wasn't in the typical folder but after a fresh install everything worked great. Awesome tutorial.
