Posted · Log authenticated users to Octoprint

Hi all

I run a 3d print cluster at a Scottish art & design school. Because of the number of users we support (over 1000) I'm looking at a solution to attribute each print job to an authenticated user.

With UM3s and S5s this is simple - Cura Connect API reports the owner of each print.
I'm trying to find a way to do the same on our UM2s - each one has a Pi running Octoprint. It works great, but the only user that is reported is the generic Octoprint.
I"m really hoping to glean logged-in user info from the client machine (WIndows and/or Mac). I'm not much of a programmer, but hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

All best wishes

Ali Napier

    I think this would have been better suited at the OctoPrint forum (as I said in my email). This needs to be solved at the OctoPrint end first. There is currently no way to link a gcode file to a user in OctoPrint, or to add other metadata to the gcode file. If that were possible, the OctoPrint Connection plugin would be able to send this data. Currently there is nothing on the receiving end (OctoPrint) that would register this additional data, so there is no use sending it.

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
