I pre-slice everything in Simplify3D and just send gcode to the Pi3.
I preslice everything on my desktop with either mattercontrol, or simplify in repetier. I've had it reboot to even stopping the print in the middle with the hot end still turned on. Running octoprint on an old dell laptop with debian installed and have had no issues.

That's mainly what I use if for. I've even pinholed a port on my firewall so I can watch it from out of the house, or my dad can watch.
Never do anything you don't want to have to explain to the paramedics.
