· Octoprint Plugin: How to re-name a printer
This has nothing to to with the OctoPrint plugin, but with the naming of gcode files (or "job names" in Cura terminology).
Jobnames are prefixed by default by an acronym of sorts derived from the printer model name (eg Ultimaker S5 becomes UMS5, Custom FFF Printer becomes CFFFP). You can turn off this automatic prefix in the General preferences.
Because this is a bit inflexible (either a prefix that cannot be changed, or no prefix at all), I wrote another plugin called "Custom Printjob Prefix", which lets you set a custom prefix. If you have that plugin installed, you can change the prefix for the current printer via Extensions -> Custom Printjob Prefix -> Set prefix. You can set any text you wish there to be used as a prefix (or turn the prefix off if you want). Some special replacement patterns are available to be automatically replaced the current values.
An important thing to realise is that the plugin will set the prefix for the current printer only. So if you have two printers configured in Cura, you would need to set the prefix for each printer individually.

Problem (if you want to call it that) solved. I could see no reason to have prefixes on the gcode files because I push them straight to the Pi with your wonderful plugin. Thanks!

In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
We are happy to announce the next evolution in the UltiMaker 3D printer lineup: the UltiMaker Factor 4 industrial-grade 3D printer, designed to take manufacturing to new levels of efficiency and reliability. Factor 4 is an end-to-end 3D printing solution for light industrial applications
