If you use OctoPrint to control your 3d printer, then you might be just as frustrated as me when you notice a print failing and you have to run to find a computer in order to cancel the print. In this video, I added a touchscreen to my 3d printer enclosure to control my OctoPrint server directly. Now I can start and stop prints directly from my enclosure rather than a computer, but I still get all the other benefits of having an OctoPrint server to control my Anycubic i3 Mega!
