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.
gollark: I think it's just that you can't connect stuff to the top.
gollark: Move items in and out, yes.
gollark: I don't think you can *use* it directly with just plethora.
gollark: The actual relay block, not a software thing.
