Cura
Today, I made the jump from Cura 4.62 to Cura 4.7.1. In reviewing the release notes, for Cura 4.7.0 there were a lot of updates. I should have updated to Cura 4.7.0 earlier.
There are some items in Cura 4.7.0 that I am looking forward to playing with or will make using the tool a little easier.
- Rotation widgets
- Moved tree-support from experimental to normal settings
- Adjust initial layer horizontal expansion
- Allow a g-code to be inserted before or after pausing
Cura 4.7.1 contains a small list of bug fixes.
OctoPrint
When I fired up OctoPrint today, I was greeted with the notice 'Upgrade your OctoPrint install to Python3!' After reading the blog post, I couldn't see a reason not to update. I open a SSH session to my Rasberry PI running OctoPrint and ran the commands from the article. It took a bit of time for everything to download and install.
There are some messages from the updated that will need to be researched or addressed at a later day.
- Plugin Bed Level Visualizer successfully installed
- Warning: You have installed Bed Level visualiser. There is a known issue with it failing silently on Python 3
- See more here: https://github.com/jneilliii/OctoPrint-BedLevelVisualizer/issues/213
- These plugins were not found on the repo
- Please install them manually, from OctoPrint's plugin manager
- - HeaterTimeout
- Cleaning up...
- Finished! OctoPrint should be ready to go
- Once you have verified the install works, you can safely remove the folder /home/pi/oprint.bak
- If you want to go back (If it doesn't work) to Python 2 download the file at: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cp2004/Octoprint-Upgrade-To-Py3/master/go_back.py
After rebooting the Raspberry Pi, I am now getting a message that 'The OctoPrint server is currently not running'. When I SSH to the Raspberry Pi, the message 'OctoPrint version : unknown' and 'OctoPi version : 0.17.0' is now displaying.
After a bit of thought, I am just going to rebuild the OctoPrint installation.
