OctoPrint-FilamentReloaded

OctoPrint plugin that integrates with a filament sensor hooked up to a Raspberry Pi GPIO pin and allows the filament spool to be changed during a print if the filament runs out.

Future developments are planned to include multiple filament sensors and pop-ups.

Initial work based on the Octoprint-Filament plugin by MoonshineSG.

Required sensor

Using this plugin requires a filament sensor. The code is set to use the Raspberry Pi's internal Pull-Up resistors, so the switch should be between your detection pin and a ground pin.

This plugin is using the GPIO.BOARD numbering scheme, the pin being used needs to be selected by the physical pin number.

Features

  • Configurable GPIO pin.
  • Debounce noisy sensors.
  • Support norbally open and normally closed sensors.
  • Execution of custom GCODE when out of filament detected.
  • Optionally pause print when out of filament.

Installation

Configuration

After installation, configure the plugin via OctoPrint Settings interface.
