3D Printing With Octoprint

The 3D printers in the Fab Lab are all controlled using Raspberry Pis that run Octoprint. Octoprint is a 3D printer controller with a web based interface.

Workflow

Before Print

Upload G-Code

If you are using Slic3r with the profiles that we have created there will be a 'Send to printer' button in the top right settings area that will send the G-Code file to the selected printer. This may take some time if you have a large file.

If you have the G-Code file already you can upload it using the file menu in the bottom left Octoprint interface.
