Creating custom scripts to automate tasks such as turning off the printer and light when the print is completed or failed 4. Setting up automatic running of the scripts at startup and during specific events (e.g., PrintStarted, PrintFailed, etc.) 5. Updating the Raspberry Pi with the latest software packages 6. Rebooting the system to apply the changes The tutorial also includes notes on how to set up timelapse photography using OctoPrint and some tips on experimenting with plugins and themes. Some of the key points from the tutorial include: * Creating custom scripts to automate tasks such as turning off the printer and light when the print is completed or failed * Setting up automatic running of the scripts at startup and during specific events (e.g., PrintStarted, PrintFailed, etc.) * Updating the Raspberry Pi with the latest software packages using `sudo apt-get update`, `sudo apt-get dist-upgrade`, and `sudo rpi-update` * Rebooting the system to apply the changes with `sudo reboot` The tutorial also includes some additional tips and notes on how to customize OctoPrint, such as setting up a delayed light off script and customizing the timelapse settings.
