Fuzzy Guacamole Controller is a custom Raspberry Pi OS designed to make 3D printing as user friendly and trouble free as possible. It provides a web interface for uploading and executing print jobs on any 3d printer that runs Marlin firmware.
Fuzzy Guacamole Controller has only been tested on the Raspberry Pi 4 but it should work on all the currently released pis. It has been tested on 3d printers running Marlin 1 and Marlin 2 firmware.
