OctoBlend

Blender addon for sending models to an OctoPrint server

Requirements

  • OctoPrint development version with Cura support enabled
  • Blender 2.70 (probably works with older versions as well)

Configuration

  • Add the octoblend-folder to your addons directory. Detailed instructions can be found here
  • Start blender with a fresh scene
  • Open the user preferences and search for octoblend in the addons tab
  • Enable the addon and configure server name and api key for OctoPrint
  • Save user preferences

Usage

  • Select an object
  • Run the "Send to OctoPrint" operator (just hit spacebar and search for "octo")

Notes

  • Object is exported in world-space coordinates
  • 1 blender unit = 1 mm
  • Uploaded file will be named after the active object.

Known issues

On windows, Blender shows an error dialog when loading the addon the first time each session. This is a known bug, and will be resolved in upcoming releases of Blender. Just ignore the error. It should work anyway.
