If you cannot afford to leave a tip or just don't want to, that is fine too! Octolapse is free and open source after all. Almost all of the donations go towards offsetting the cost of development, which are substantial. I would appreciate it greatly! Support OctolapseĬonsider supporting Octolapse by becoming a Patron, a Github Sponsor, or by sending some coffee/beer money, I would REALLY appreciate it. If you have a great new guide, see a typo, or have other suggestions for improving the existing documentation, please let me know! You can either submit a feature request or submit a pull request.

Use caution and never leave your printer unattended. By installing Octolapse you agree to accept all liability for any damage caused directly or indirectly by Octolapse. Octolapse is provided without warranties of any kind. Be sure to give Tjjfvi some love for the template! The Cura settings scripts are based on a master script generated by Tjjfvi which can be found here. Otherwise the settings won't be in there! Make sure you reslice your gcode file before you print.This means that Octolapse will find your settings a bit faster if they are located within your Start G-code (but not much faster). Octolapse will search the first and last 1000 lines of gcode for your settings, and it will stop searching when it finds all of the required settings. Note that you can also place the script in the End G-code if you prefer. Paste the copied script into the top of the Start G-code text box as shown below: If you are using Cura 4.1 or below, copy the following script: If you are using Cura 4.2 or above, copy the following script: Read this brief guide to determine which script you need to use, and skip step 7. If you are using a multi-material/multi-extruder printer with Cura: Select your printer from the Local Printers list and click Machine Settings.Open the Settings menu, expand the Printer sub-menu, and select Manage Printers.Follow these steps to add your Cura settings to your gcode files so that Octolapse can access them: This guide assumes your printer is already correctly configured and that you are running Cura version 3.x up to 4.2.x (Octolapse may work with other versions too). Unlike the other supported slicers, Cura will not work without some minor adjustments. See this guide for enabling verbose gcode output (it is super simple), and get a boost in quality when using the smart layer trigger! If you are using Cura follow these steps If you are using Slic3r, Slic3r PE, or Prusa Slicer This is important for printers that support the Tx and T? commands, like the Prusa MMU2. If Octolapse doesn't receive a tool change command, it will assume you are using the default extruder for the entire print. If you are using a multi-material printer, be sure to set your default extruder. Multi-Material/Multi-Extruder - Set the Default Extruder Also, be sure to read the next section if you are using a multi-materal/multi-extruder printer. If you are using Cura, be sure to follow the additional steps, else automatic settings will not work. Enabling Automatic Slicer ConfigurationĮdit your printer printer profile, find the Slicer Type drop down, and select Automatic Configuration. Note about multi-material/multi-extruder printers - It is possible that you will encounter problems when using automatic mode on multi-extruder/multi-material printers. Use the Other slicer type option instead. If you do NOT have one of these slicers, Automatic Configuration will not work. Slic3r, Slic3r PE and PrusaSlicer - Will work out-of-the-box.Simplify 3D - Should work out-of-the-box.Cura - requires simple configuration change within your slicer.The following slicers currently support Automatic Configuration Settings: Please use caution when using Octolapse with a multi-material printer and report any problems immediately by creating an issue. There could be major issues with settings extraction and stabilization that could cause print failures or, in the worst case, hardware/printer damage. I have only been able to test this on a single setup (Prusa MMU2) and have NEVER tried this on a multi-extruder printer since I do not have access to one. If you have multiple extruders or a multi-material printer, know that support is beta. Important Note About Multi-Material/Multi-Extruder Printers It also eliminates typos and missing/incorrect settings. This means no more copying your slicer settings into Octolapse before every print! This is one of my favorite features, especially since it makes it much easier for new users to get Octolapse working quickly. Starting with Octolapse V0.4, slicer settings can be extracted directly from your gcode file.
