I'm wanting to heavily mod my 3D45. I basically want to use a raspberry pi to run it, but just repurpose the existing hardware. I am new to this area of 3d printing, and would love some suggestions to get started. I know of octoprint, but does it do all of the reading gcode?

Never heard of this printer brand, but if it turns out that its mainboard isn't compatible with what you're trying to do then it might be an option to replace it with a cheap stepper driver board from AliExpress. You wouldn't need anything fancy if you're running Klipper on your RPi
