Got a SD card setup with octopi and written a documentation about how to do it right here Write Image to SD Card The Image itself btw can be found here Octopi The hardware setup is displayed in the presentation already, so there is nothing holding us back from testing the software upon a printer.


Additionaly, I've figured out some of the missing pieces and began writing a python script for autorecognition of the 3d printers.

Got a step-by step plan about what should be done, learned about the G-Code and found those of interest for me from Marlin. (M115 gives me unique Data about the printer, M20 to M30 are used to read, write to the sd card and start the printing process from there) Found out how to reformat fcstd to stl with command line only (for automatic conversion on upload).

Researched Methods for cluster management, communication between printer and computer etc. Most Promising: Octoprint

This can be run for several printers

Hardware is defined and set, list and setup in the presentation. Very rough price estimate: 45 $ + 20$/printer(5h)
