At the first access to OctoPrint, the basic parameters for managing the printer are requested. In our case, we connect the Orange PI PC to an Anet A8 3d printer via the USB port. At the first access to the address
a configuration mask is shown
pressing next we access the next screen where to define the user who manages the printer with his password

We have to import our cura profile for Anet A8 and set the path to the executable CuraEngine, compiled in the previous article
The imported profile must be generated by Cura 15.04.x or older. Below is the link to the various versions of the Cura software
We can now define the parameters of the printer, in our case Anet A8
We set the bed size and print volume
The speed of movement using the control panel is defined in the next step; we set up conservative parameters
