I use a pallet knife that I picked up for a couple bucks at a local hobby shop.

I printed a 2.4mm spacer to go between the upright parts of the mounts to get the spacing. Make sure you use lots of oil and a sharp bit when drilling the steel. My reversed mount ...

I also saw this guide posted on reddit to have S3D save a copy of gcode directly to your Octopi. http://community.robo3d.com/index.php?threads/simplify3d-octoprint-gcode-direct-to-octoprint-setup.8217/ It worked great for me, no more drag and drop every time I want to print. -Tom " You will need the...

Can't help with a mac but I didn't need a monitor. I just loaded the image to the SD card and edited the network config file. After placing the SD in the Pi and powering it up I had access from a web browser.
