This is because the current ( Dec 2015) release version of OctoPi (_-octopi-wheezy-0.12.0) is built on the wheezy version of Raspbian. If the current release version of Octopi is placed into a Pi Zero, then the Pi Zero will flash the on-board LED repeatedly 8 times and the Pi Zero will refuse to show any output to HDMI and will fail to boot. I’d recommend this case I made: Get the image House your Pi Zero in a case to protect it or use self adhesive posts to mount it somewhere on or in your 3D printer, remembering to allow access to SD slot and USB sockets. There is even a mobile phone app now that allows control of the printer from an Android smart phone. The webcam monitoring allows progress of prints to be checked too.
The software has also created freedom to control the printer from multiple devices in the house. It is the best thing since sliced bread, in my opinion and it has allowed the whole household to access the printer. Octoprint allows network access and control of a USB connected 3D printer. OctoPi is a Raspbian image with Octoprint installed and configured on it. I expect this post to age quickly but will hopefully find people setting up OctoPi for the newly released Pi Zero.
