Can it drive a touch screen at the same time though?
The 3B+ can, I haven’t looked into the Pi Zero 2, but if it has the DSi port then it’ll work with most Klipper Screen options.
unfortunately it doesn't but luckily I have a spare pi 3b!

I don't find it that bad.
I'm running Octoprint on a pair pi zero 2W devices, less than half the memory is being used.
You have a magnetic base, right? So did you just buy a pei steel sheet from Amz? Link?
Thanks...I feel like I need some of that.
Oh they have dozens... 
A few here (235x235 which is what my Sovol SV05 uses) - the just flop right down on the built-in magnetic base on my SV05, if you have a magnetic base all you need is the metal plate, and you can set aside the included magnetic sheet:
This was the first one I ordered and is a smooth PEI - worked really well, until I started playing w/PETG and (after the fact) found out my build surface wasn't properly leveled and some stuff got badly stuck. I will probably order another one of these at some point. Seemed very good quality overall.

I've got one of these coming today to replace the Creality one above that I ruined. I wanted to try the pebble texture PEI to see how that goes.

Haven't tried it, but reviews look good overall:

Yeah, I was hoping you had bought cheaper one without the magnetic sheet.

LOL...I tend to go pretty much on reviews when buying, and the Creality and then the HICTOP had what seemed like the best reactions and a large enough quantity of reviews that fakery wasn't likely a big issue.
I'm going sacrificial for petg/tpu ... 2-pack of Sunlu 235mm for $13.

Boom chucka-lucka-lucka-lucka... 
Good luck w/it. That looks like what comes w/the Sovol SV05, and the metal PEI plate was much better in terms of ease of release for me. If that one works well the nice part is you won't be too sad if you kill one getting your bed level and offset dialed in.

I've been happy with the Hictop PEI plate I purchased. I thought I had killed it when I had the Z-offset too low and the PET-G was squishing too much into the plate and sticking way too well. I was able to get it off and it is still working well. I am thinking of ordering another as a backup though.
2 double-sided, textured pei plates came with the Anker. But messing them up is likely inevitable when I start screwing up while tuning for petg. I have release agent and dawn, so I'll just forego a latte at starbucks while I mess up these $6.50 plates.

Memory wasn’t the issue for me, it was constant high CPU usage.
One of the many, many things on the ever-growing honeydew list was a nice soapdish. I printed one, it turned out fine. The creator 'signed' the bottom of it with his username -- "Electric Cheese"

Finally got the email this morning to pay to rest of the invoice. Hopefully that means I'll have the thing before long.
I did buy a spool of Bambu's PLA and another of Sunlu's to try them out. I suppose I should go ahead and pick up a dryer unit to have something until I can print/build the cereal box containers. I did go ahead and pickup 2lbs of desiccant. Anything else anyone thinks I should go ahead and pick up? Maybe I should go ahead and grab extra plates.
I'm also struggling with where I want to put the thing. Can't put it in my office or the wife's. Spare bedroom doesn't have the space. I could stick it in the garage, but I woodwork out there so I have concerns about copious amounts of dust.

Kitchen?
I have the same issue - mine is in one of my son's bedrooms now, but when he and his GF visit that won't work. ("Hey son, think of it as a bonus, you can't things print from your bed!") No room in the office and too noisey for my wife, living room is verboten, as are family room/kitchen. Utility room has no room. Garage is really full and I just got some new tools including a chop saw that are going to take up any remaining available space. EEK!
I'm thinking easiest for me would be somewhere in @erktrek's place, but it's going to take some doing to get him to move out here and live next door to me so it's convenient.
I'm actually thinking about buying/building a table on wheels that I could move into a closet in the hallway when I'm not using the printer. If it has shelves on it then I could keep the clutter all in one place. I just have to figure out how to make it fit as the closet has some weird angles due to built-ins my wife wanted, so getting the thing in/out may be problemmatic.
Really think that @dJOS let us down that he didn't warn us that once we had the printer we'd have to find a place for it. Really short-sighted of him... 
And man do I love that movie. Set in my town!! WOOT! Stay classy, San Diego!
