Octoprint and OctoEverywhere

Octoprint is a web-based print manager that runs from a connected Raspberry pi. Currently all of the Taz 6's have an associated pi, and Taz1 has a webcam.

Connecting to an octopi (Octoprint on a pi) is as simple as pointing a web browser to the appropriate octopi instance. usually in the form of https://taz1 (replacing the 1 for the number of the Taz as written on the sign above the printer you want to use e.g. taz2, taz3, etc.)

Upload to Octoprint

open a web browser and navigate to http://taz1 (or whichever octopi is on your printer) You may need to log in to upload, in which case use the same user and password as the space WiFi.

Once logged in, check that the attached printer is switched on and click "Connect" Upload your .gcode file, select it from the file list and once the printer status is happy, click print.

If the printer does not connect, ensure the correct settings are configured:

Serial port: /dev/ttyAcM0

Baud rate: 250000

You can monitor and stop/start the print from the interface and if a webcam is attached, take progress pics
