How to Add an OctoPrint Touchscreen to Any 3D Printer (Ender 3 + Others!)

In this episode, I'll teach you how to add a touchscreen to any 3D printer for use with OctoPrint, further improving your 3D printing experience. As an example, I'll be adding the OctoPrint touchscreen to my Creality Ender 3 -- but this video will work for any 3D printer that supports OctoPrint. I'll cover everything from hardware to software to what you'll need!
