The iFactory octoprint seems to work ok. Just seems weird that is reconnects/refreshes so much. Anyone else seeing this? I'm wondering if is the board can't handle the wifi or my wifi where the printer is isn't great. I do have a bunch of other raspberry pis in the same room that connect fine though.

I replaced the pi and screen for something a bit better. The wifi on the little board just didn't have the strength. Once I got it setup again I've had problem after problem. Seems like octoscreen does some refreshing stuff... then when I thought everything was good to go... it would reboot octoprint everytime I clicked on something on the screen. :ROFLMAO: I'm going to try just doing a normal instance of octoprint. I can then just control it from my phone like I do the rest of my printers.

I also replaced the Pi 3A with Pi 4B because of the missing ethernet connection.
Works nice and smooth with octodash!

Hey Gergut, thanks for sharing that! I also have a pretty week connection, that seems a great solution.

I am going to try to add a wifi dongle to strengh the signal too
