Open Tasks You Can Do.

Roland CutStudio misbehaving (files that opened in the past won't open/translate now; software crashes) - reinstall?

Hi,

There are two incubator 7511, the above one doesn't work, is that possible to fix it as below one?

We would like to get octopi to ask a username when print is clicked. This name should be logged. This can be used for follow-up, and checking if people are paying for prints. Eventually this might be updated to send a PayPal link, but for now just logging name is a start.
The task is to develop a custom plugin we can use to log names of users of the 3d printers when they go to print.
I was able to get part way but got stuck not being able to to get the JS file loading. Maybe a second set of eyes can figure it out.
I was able to install a local development version following this process:
Setting Up OctoPrint Development Environment
1. Clone OctoPrint Repository:

cd ~/devel

git clone https://github.com/OctoPrint/OctoPrint
2. Navigate to OctoPrint Folder:

cd OctoPrint
3. Create a Virtual Environment:

python3 -m venv venv
4. Activate the Virtual Environment:

source venv/bin/activate
5. Install OctoPrint and Dependencies:

pip install -e '.[develop,plugins]'
6. Check Installation:

octoprint --help
7. Start OctoPrint Server:

octoprint serve
8. Locate Plugin Directory:

Typically ~/.octoprint/plugins.
9. Place Your Plugin:

Put your plugin Python file and any assets (JS, CSS) in the plugin directory.
10. Restart OctoPrint Server:

Stop the running OctoPrint server with Ctrl+C and start it again with octoprint serve.
I was able to get a plugin to show up by adding a file called "user_name_popup.py"


import octoprint.plugin

import os

import datetime

import logging

class UserNamePopupPlugin(octoprint.plugin.AssetPlugin,

octoprint.plugin.TemplatePlugin,

octoprint.plugin.EventHandlerPlugin):

def __init__(self):

self._logger = logging.getLogger("octoprint.plugins.user_name_popup")

def get_assets(self):

return {

"js": ["user_name_popup.js"]

}

def get_template_configs(self):

return [

{

"type": "generic",

"name": "User Name Popup",

"custom_bindings": True

}

]

def on_event(self, event, payload):

if event == "PrintStarted":

user_name = payload.get("user_name", "Unknown")

file_name = os.path.basename(payload["file"])

self._logger.info(f"{datetime.datetime.now()}, {user_name}, {file_name}")

__plugin_name__ = "User Name Popup Plugin"

__plugin_pythoncompat__ = ">=2.7,<4,>=3.10,<3.11"

__plugin_implementation__ = UserNamePopupPlugin()


------ This now shows in the plugin manager.
and I added a js file (user_name_popup.js) that is aimed at doing the popup when the button is printed, but it does not seem to get loaded and I can figure out why. The file:



$(function() {

console.log("Name Popup Script loaded"); // Debug statement

if ($("#job_print").length === 0) {

console.log("#job_print element not found"); // Debug statement

}

$("#job_print").click(function() {

console.log("Button clicked"); // Debug statement

var user_name = prompt("Please enter your name:", "");

if (user_name) {

OctoPrint.simpleApiCommand("user_name_popup", "set_user_name", {user_name: user_name})

.done(function(response) {

console.log(response);

});

}

});

});

We want to have the tool plates of all of our tools that have them on file. We can upload the images to the website, we have done many but not all. The job requires taking pictures of tool plates, and/or typing the serial number of tools. This is helpful so people can see details of tools on the tool page, and if we ever have tools stolen the serial numbers will be helpful. Ask JR for access to add serials/images.

The woodshop gets hot, and the filter in front of the AC gets clogged. This then causes the AC to draw too much electricity and pop the breaker. So vacuuming the filter would be great!

It would be great if someone could sharpen the drill bits (using the drill doctor) in the bins of random bits in the woodshop (labeled small bits and large bits), and then sort them into the fractional/lettered/numbered indexes in the metal shop. Then in the woodshop we will just have the 1/16-1/2" index box.

The computer in the media room seems to have issues with connecting to USB consistently. The requires understanding computers, looking at software and possibly figuring out if there is something loose like a PCI card. If it can not be made useful we should identify what specs we need for the media room as a minimum and then we will go about finding the appropriate computer.

Our red and blue bins by the textiles area is a bit of a mess! It would be great if someone could put things back in the bins where they belong <3
