Connecting Cura 4.4.1 with Octoprint

[lela 1]

Hello.
Is it possible to get help connecting Cura 4.4.1 with Octoprint.
In the marketplace, it says that octoprint is installed.
But I can't get the field where the API key needs to be entered.
I can't delete or update Octoprint in the marketplace.
Is anyone here to help with this?
Thanks in advance
Leif.

Hi Leif, what printer and what OS do you use?

 

if you go to the “Printers” pane of the Preferences, is there a “Connect to OctoPrint” button?

Connect to OctoPrint

It is a CR-10S Pro and windows 10
and I don't have the Connect to OctoPrint button.
Thank you in advance for your help
and Merry Christmas.

Hi @ahoeben, I noticed with my latest Cura builds that the OctoPrint plugin didn't load because the netifaces module wasn't getting included in the cx_freeze. I had to explicitly add it to the list of modules to include. Maybe relevant?

@Lela, how did you add your printer to Cura? Are you sure you didn’t add it as an *Ultimaker* S5 instead of a Creality machine? The Ultimaker S5 is not compatible with OctoPrint so the button is not shown.

 

If you added it as a creality machine, then please post a link to your Cura.log. It can be found via Help -> Show configuration folder.

Yes I am sure I have chosen "Creality CR-10S Pro".
I have attached the cura.log file, but it looks very complicated to me 🙂

The plugin is not loading because you have installed a version that has not yet been thoroughly tested in the program files bundle. Please remove that, and also check if there are any OctoPrintPlugin folders in your Configuration Folder (Help -> Show configuration folder -> plugins). Then please reinstall the plugin from the Marketplace.

When I installed Cura 4.4.1 I chose to uninstall Cura 4.0. But it did not uninstall the configuration directory, it helped when I did it manually and reinstalled Cure 4.4.1 again.
Many thanks for the help. 🙂

@lela, so you got it working again?

 

@burtoogle, are you installing the plugin through the Marketplace, or including the latest version from git? I can see how using the git version could have that netifaces issue (thanks for pointing that out), but not the version on the Marketplace.

Yes, it works now  🙂

Merry Christmas Aldo. I saw that problem using my master branches for Cura/Uranium, cura-build-environment and cura-build. The plugin was the version that the marketplace installs.

Merry Christmas to you too. Why are we on our computers?

cura version 4.6 have a Octoprint plugin. You can get it from the marketplace,

 

I had a problem that cura would not keep the Apikey needed until i added the printer again.
