Developed for OSX. With (minor?) changes, could be usefull on other platforms as well.
Install:
brew install terminal-notifier
brew install trash
sudo easy_install python-daemon
sudo easy_install configparser
Usage
/path/to/toctoprint.py select print trash --location ~/Desktop --editor /usr/local/bin/mate --server http://octoprint.local --key 00000000000000000 --gcode ~/Desktop/gcode.gcode
Except for the parameter --gcode all options can be set in ini file
The commands "select", "print", "rename" and "trash" can only be specified via the command line. If you specify "print" you don't need to specify "select"
Settings
--server & --key - OctoPrint setting
--editor - the editor used for opening files not placed in the default folder. change this to None if you don't want to open when saving to a different path or if the file name starts with _
trash - remove local gcode file after uploading to Octoprint
rename - will add the name of the material (from the selected AUto Configure material name) at the begining of the file name (abc.gcode -> PLA_abc.gcode)
select - select file after upload
print - start print after upload
insecure - don't verify SSL certificate (for self signed SSL) - use carefully!!
You can create .toctoprint.ini in your home folder with any (or all) following settings or pass as command line parameters
[default]
SERVER = http://octoprint.local
OCTOPRINT_KEY = 00000000000000000000000
EDITOR = /usr/local/bin/mate
ini file settings vs command line
--server - SERVER
--key - OCTOPRINT_KEY
--editor - EDITOR
Simplify3D
Add this to post procesing script in Simplify3D:
/path/to/toctoprint.py select rename trash --location ~/Desktop --editor /usr/local/bin/mate --key 00000000000000000 --server http://octoprint.local --gcode "[output_filepath]"
- settings passed as parameters overwrite the ones in the ini file.
- [output_filepath] will be replaced by Simplify3D with the full path of the saved GCODE file.
UPDATE: put [output_filepath] between double quotes "[output_filepath]" to allow you use spaces in the file name
UPDATE (28/04/2016): added rename option
UPDATE (09/05/2016): added estimate option (see https://github.com/MoonshineSG/marlin-estimate as well)
UPDATE (31/05/2016): changed estimation format to meta data
UPDATE (01/08/2016): removed estimate option (OctoPrint estimates improved to acceptable levels)
UPDATE (01/08/2016): added "insecure" mode for self signed SSL
UPDATE (13/10/2016): removed LOCATION and moved all processing to background
