There, on the top right, you need to click on a wrench icon again, to access the Plugin configuration. After that, go to Settings (the wrench icon on the top right) and click on Plugin-Manager. S3D "remembers" the last save location, so the "Save Toolpaths to Disk" dialog defaults to the shared drive and all I have to do is click "save". Work through the welcome screen/assistant, presented in your Browser, to setup your instance of Octoprint. After it has connected, you’ll be able to set the hot end and. After it has booted up, open OctoPrint again in your browser and take your newly WiFi-enabled printer for a spin by clicking the Connect button. Turn off your Raspberry Pi, then plug it into your 3D printer. That works really well for file transfer. Now that you’re set up with OctoPrint, you’re ready to start printing. If you mean not only transfer files, but control the printer (like jogging, setting temp, etc), monitor status during print, and see webcam - like you can with the plugin for that free-open-source-alternative-app - there isn't any way to do that with S3D right now.

In a nutshell, it removes much of the manual work by packaging up OctoPrint. OctoPi provides tools to control your 3D printer remotely, send new files to print, and more. The image is built on top of Raspberry Pi OS (formerly Raspbian) and comes with OctoPrint pre-installed. You can use a CURL command (if your computer has CURL) as an S3D post-processing command to transfer the sliced file.Īll of those methods (and more) are discussed in the following thread: OctoPi is the name of an OctoPrint image created for the Raspberry Pi. Then "save" from S3D directly to that mapped network drive (Octoprint sees the file, and processes it into Octoprint's file list).
Installing OctoPrint into that virtual environment: env/bin/pip install octoprint. Creating a virtual environment somewhere: virtualenv env. You can setup SAMBA on your Octoprint host, share Octoprint's "watched" folder, and map that folder as a disk on your computer. No matter what OS you are using there are four main steps to setup OctoPrint, namely: Installing Python 2.7 including pip and virtualenv. You can save to disk from S3D, then bring up an Octoprint browser window and "drag-n-drop" the file into Octoprint. If you mean easily transferring files from S3D to Octoprint.ġ.
