[gentoo-user] [OT] Is that possible or nonsense (3D-Printing via WiFi) ?

[tuxic]

Hi,

my 3D-orinter is in another room and I want to check its progress
more often than to go to the next room to check it... :)

My Rasperberry Pi Zero W is technically able to connect to the printer
via USB and it is possible to connect via WiFi to the Rasperberry in 
the "next room" from "this room".

This way I am able to flash the firmware of the printer.

There is OctoPrint to do the kind of stuff I want...but
it is (for me) to feature rich and I think my Rasperberry
is a little bit weak CPU-wise.

Is it possible to "forward" the USB-port on my Rasperberry via Wifi
so I can do all software related stuff on my PC ?

Cheers!
Meino

You probably want to take a look at enabling:

CONFIG_USBIP_CORE

Then have a look at your:

/usr/src/linux/Documentation/usb/usbip_protocol.txt

If the printer requires a near constant stream of data over the USB port, you might want to look into a physical cable instead of wifi for the communication.

And DON'T hang ANYTHING else on USB (except, of course, the keyboard and 
mouse).

Actually, if you've got separate USB-1, -2, and -3 ports, make sure it's 
the only thing on the -3 ports. Sharing devices on a hub (and a lot of 
mobos have internal hubs so you don't know if ports are shared or not) 
can cause all sorts of grief if you're unlucky.
