  1. Gary, Thanks for that, it all look brilliant and very informative. There's nothing I can obviously think of that would be causing the icons to not display. I have had weird issues when using some other programs and then using Prusa Slicer and Cura, e.g. I used Blender 2.79 on the pi to do basic modelling, if then leave the design open and try either of the slicers it doesn't always work. But by the sounds of it you'll have tried running it with nothing else in the background. What resolution are you running 1080? or 4k? I don't have a 4k monitor so can't test. Did you backup your profile and delete the folder and contents of /home/pi/.config/cura? You could also try invoking the appimage with a set 'settings' folder using ../some/path/to/my.AppImage --appimage-portable-config Other than that I'm out of ideas. Sorry.
  2. Gary, Can you please provide a little more information on your setup. what versions of RaspberryPi are you using? what Operating System (and version) are you using? how is the memory split setup on your Pi? are you running the app image as admin (sudo)? which profile if any did you choose in Cura? have you tried resetting all the settings? (I think there’s a folder In you home directory(.config/Cura) ??? it runs very well on a 4B, Buster with 128 memory split, although menus can take a second or two to load!
  3. Most people run Octopi remotely with the Pi somewhere near the printer. Control is done through a web interface that you can then access from any other device /computer/phone etc on your network. i have a Pi3 sat under the carriage of my printer. But I use a Pi4 as a desktop which I run both Cura and another well known slicer on. Pi3s are pretty cheap right now, the built in WiFi, connectivity and processing power make the ideal remote computers. This App image of Cura is designed to run on the Raspbian desktop, you cannot just run in while using the commandline. if you downloaded the Octoprint image directly I don’t believe it is designed to run the Pi desktop (as default) rather the command prompt. you will be able to install the desktop of you want, but that will require some tweaking. Hope that helps.
