Description: Marlin and Octoprint make a powerful 3D printing combo. In this video, I present some lesser known tips and tricks to make them even better. We cover things like autostarting gcode when the printer boots, gcode macros for saving time, custom LCD menus and host commands to let Marlin and Octoprint talk to each other properly. With these tips combined, we can set up a 3D printer for toolchanging, and perform previously unavailable functions from the printer's LCD like resetting the mainboard and shutting down the Raspberry Pi safely. Let me know if you wan to see a part 2 with more unknown tips and tricks. 0:00 Introduction Guide to Marlin firmware set up: youtu.be/eq_ygvHF29I Guide to setting up Octoprint: youtu.be/h--RLbvQKYc Guide to connecting to your printer via terminal: teachingtechyt.github.io/troubleshooting.html#terminal 0:53 Backing up settings Marlin M503 reference: marlinfw.org/docs/gcode/M503.html 1:20 Autostart commands Marlin Autostart reference: marlinfw.org/docs/features/autostart.html Marlin M117 reference: marlinfw.org/docs/gcode/M117.html 3:59 What are macros? 4:37 Marlin macro firmware setup 6:01 Marlin macro setting and execution Marlin M810-M819 macro gcode reference: marlinfw.org/docs/gcode/M810-M819.html 6:46 Using Autostart to load macros automatically 7:20 Octoprint Macro plugins as an alternative Octoprint Gcode Macros Plugin: plugins.octoprint.org/plugins/gcode_macro Sidebar Macros plugin: plugins.octoprint.org/plugins/macro 7:37 Custom menu items Marlin M997 reference: marlinfw.org/docs/gcode/M997.html 8:54 Shutting down the Pi from the Marlin LCD Octoprint Action commands plugin: plugins.octoprint.org/plugins/actioncommands Klipper GitHub issue thread with instructions: github.com/Klipper3d/klipper/issues/2531#issuecomment-588229093 Putty free SSH client: putty.org Marlin M118 reference: marlinfw.org/docs/gcode/M118.html 10:09 Toolchanger macros from the LCD menu 10:46 When Octoprint and Marlin don’t communicate well 12:04 Host commands in Marlin Filament sensor simplified Octoprint plugin: plugins.octoprint.org/plugins/filamentsensorsimplified 13:09 Conclusion Consolidated tabs Octoprint plugin: plugins.octoprint.org/plugins/consolidatedtabs Buy quality and affordable filament from X3D.
