What happens when you combine an enthusiastic maker learning electronics, a beloved Adventure Time character, and a need for a Raspberry Pi running an Octoprint server?? A whole lot of mayhem, it seems!

Watch me endeavour to tackle this meaty project to create my very own talking, life-size, 3D printer controlling BMO. I'll be using a Raspberry Pi 4, compatible components, 3D printing and design, and a whole lot of Python to achieve this goal. Many of these things I will be attempting for the first time, so expect some bumps and learning experiences along the way.

Part Two is ALLLLL about 3D Design, Accessibility Design Principles, and 3D Printing, not to mention a LOT of screwing things together. I walk through many of my decisions around the design and how I'm aiming to make this as easy for YOU to make as possible!

Stay tuned for the third instalment where I bring BMOctoprint to life with Python programming on my Raspberry Pi! If you haven't already seen the first part of this series, you can find it here:

A big thanks to ‪@Polymaker‬ for providing the gorgeous filament used to make BMOctoprint's body! You can get your own filament and help support the channel by purchasing through this affiliate link! https://bit.ly/katzcreates_polymaker

A huge thanks as well to Gina Häußge for creating and maintaining Octoprint, the incredible Raspberry Pi program that allows you to use and control your 3D printer from anywhere with an internet connection. I highly recommend it if you have a 3D printer, and please consider contributing to help keep the maintenance going!
