gollark: The relay can go on any side as far as I know, the printer just can't be connected to on the top.
gollark: I can check on my setup.
gollark: I think the sides work too.
gollark: The reason for the first thing is that remote wrapping/peripheral listing/whatever else is actually implemented in Lua using modems' `callRemote` (and other things), and only descends the "peripheral tree" one level because that's all it has to in vanilla CC.
gollark: The only important constraints I know of is that the OC relay must be directly adjacent to the computer (unless you program around this) and that you can't connect to the top of the 3D printer.
