Somebody was asking where they could get a raspberry pi recently and now I can't find the thread. I've been looking myself for a while so that I can run octoprint on my 3-D printer. I set notifications all over to notify me when they came in stock and i just got a notification that Adafruit has it in stock.  I'm not affiliated with them nor do I have any experience with them as I'm new to this. Figured someone has been looking as well.

Raspberry  Pi 4 2gb

Oh nice. I need one to run a large USB drive off of as a NAS. Doing so seems to make my PiHole pi run really slowly. Plus that one has a display on it I use for indicating the state of my garage door, and the NAS stuff is going into the safe.

I need to order a couple other bits I found on Amazon for another Pi related project. (temperature sensor in my bathroom to automatically turn on a space heater if it's cold in there)

Those seem like really cool little devices. I've been tempted to get one, but I'm not sure what I'd use it for.

These cases are spendy but I like the option of running the full size HDMI and the aluminum case acts as a giant heat sink. There's also the option to run an SSD under the case.

Is 2GB good enough to run Octoprint?

A Pi3 is more more than sufficient for octopi. A pi4 2gb is overkill but works fine.

Depending on what you are trying to do, Digikey has the Pi 400 kit in stock.  444 of them for $100 ea.

This is the Pi 4B with 4GB but built into a keyboard format. Still has access to all the GPIO pins (although a breakout board and ribbon cable would ease access considerably. The kit includes a mouse, power supply, HDMI cable, and SD Card.

https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/raspberry-pi/SC0384/13282409

They also have just the Pi 400 in some other formats (Spanish, German, and UK keyboard layout to be exact) as well for $70.

ETA: Tried to order two, but it only let me order one.

Tempted to buy one just to pull out the CM4.

Just ordered one.  Thanks!

I have a recently built Prusa MK3S+ that will need Octoprint.  The Pi4 is more than I need for that, but I see Retropie is now available/supported for the Pi4.  I may bump one of my existing Pi3's down to Prusa duty!
