PRINTRUN 2.X
The master branch holds the development of Printrun 2.x. This new version of Printrun supports Python 3 and wxPython 4. All new features and developments should be merged to it.
Printrun consists of printcore, pronsole and pronterface, and a small collection of helpful scripts.
- printcore.py is a library that makes writing reprap hosts easy
- pronsole.py is an interactive command-line host software with tabcompletion goodness
- pronterface.py is a graphical host software with the same functionality as pronsole
GETTING BVM-run
This section suggests using precompiled binaries, this way you get everything bundled into one single package for an easy installation.
If you want the newest, shiniest features, you can run Printrun from source using the instructions further down this README.
Windows
A precompiled version is available at https://github.com/NatureRoger/BVM-Run-Ventilator/
Mac OS X
A precompiled version is available at https://github.com/NatureRoger/BVM-Run-Ventilator
Note for OSX users: if OSX tells you the file is corrupted, you don't need to redownload it. Instead, you need to allow OSX to run unsigned apps. To do this, run
sudo spctl --master-disable
Linux
Ubuntu/Debian
There is currently no package for Printrun 2. It must be run from source.
Chrome OS
You can use Printrun via crouton ( https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton ). Assuming you want Ubuntu Trusty, you used probably sudo sh -e ~/Downloads/crouton -r trusty -t xfce
to install Ubuntu. Fetch and install printrun with the line given above for Ubuntu/Debian.
By default you have no access to the serial port under Chrome OS crouton, so you cannot connect to your 3D printer. Add yourself to the serial group within the linux environment to fix this
sudo usermod -G serial -a <username>
where <username>
should be your username. Log out and in to make this group change active and allow communication with your printer.
Fedora
You can install Printrun from official packages. Install the whole package using
sudo dnf install printrun
Or get only apps you need by
sudo dnf install pronsole
or pronterface
or plater
Adding --enablerepo updates-testing
option to dnf
might sometimes give you newer packages (but also not very tested).
Archlinux
Packages are available in AUR. Just run
yaourt printrun
and enjoy the pronterface
, pronsole
, ... commands directly.
RUNNING FROM SOURCE
Run Printrun for source if you want to test out the latest features.
Dependencies
To use pronterface, you need:
-
Python 3 (ideally 3.6),
-
pyserial (or python3-serial on ubuntu/debian)
-
pyreadline (not needed on Linux)
-
wxPython 4
-
pyglet
-
appdirs
-
numpy (for 3D view)
-
pycairo (to use Projector feature)
-
cairosvg (to use Projector feature)
-
dbus (to inhibit sleep on some Linux systems)
-
pysqlite3 (BVM-run Ventilator Need to add pysqlite3 module. )
Use Python virtual environment
Easiest way to run Printrun from source is to create and use a Python virtual environment. The following section assumes Linux. Please see specific instructions for Windows and macOS X below.
Ubuntu/Debian note: You might need to install python3-venv
first.
Note: wxPython4 doesn't have Linux wheels available from the Python Package Index yet. Find a proper wheel for your distro at extras.wxpython.org and substitute the link in the bellow example. You might skip the wheel installation, but that results in compiling wxPython4 from source, which can be time and resource consuming and might fail.
$ git clone https://github.com/NatureRoger/BVM-Run-Ventilator.git # clone the repository
$ cd Printrun # change to Printrun directory
$ python3 -m venv venv # create an virtual environment
$ . venv/bin/activate # activate the virtual environment (notice the space after the dot)
(venv) $ python -m pip install https://extras.wxpython.org/wxPython4/extras/linux/gtk3/fedora-27/wxPython-4.0.1-cp36-cp36m-linux_x86_64.whl # replace the link with yours
(venv) $ python -m pip install -r requirements.txt # intall the rest of dependencies
(venv) $ python pronterface.py # run Pronterface (BVM-Run-Ventilator)
Cython-based G-Code parser
Printrun default G-Code parser is quite memory hungry, but we also provide a much lighter one which just needs an extra build-time dependency (Cython), plus compiling the extension with:
(venv) $ python -m pip install Cython
(venv) $ python setup.py build_ext --inplace
The warning message
WARNING:root:Memory-efficient GCoder implementation unavailable: No module named gcoder_line
means that this optimized G-Code parser hasn't been compiled. To get rid of it and benefit from the better implementation, please install Cython and run the command above.
Ubuntu/Debian
The above method is the recommended way to run Printrun 2 from source. However, if you can't find a suitable wxPython4 wheel, or if it fails for other reasons, it could be run without using a python virtual environment. For users of Debian 10 Buster or later and Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver or later.
Install the dependencies:
sudo apt install python3-serial python3-numpy cython3 python3-libxml2 python3-gi python3-dbus python3-psutil python3-cairosvg libpython3-dev python3-appdirs python3-wxgtk4.0
sudo apt install python3-pip
pip3 install --user pyglet
Install git, clone this repository:
sudo apt install git
git clone https://github.com/NatureRoger/BVM-Run-Ventilator.git
cd BVM-Run-Ventilator
Windows
Download and install Python 3.6 and follow the Python virtual environment section above except use the following to create and activate the virtual environment and install dependencies:
> py -3 -m venv venv
> venv\Scripts\activate
> python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
macOS X
Install Python 3, you can use Brew:
$ brew install python3
And follow the above Python virtual environment section. You don't need to search for wxPython wheel, macOS wheels are available from the Python Package Index.
USING PRINTRUN
USING PRONTERFACE
When you're done setting up Printrun, you can start pronterface.py in the directory you unpacked it. Select the port name you are using from the first drop-down, select your baud rate, and hit connect. Load an STL (see the note on skeinforge below) or GCODE file, and you can upload it to SD or print it directly. The "monitor printer" function, when enabled, checks the printer state (temperatures, SD print progress) every 3 seconds. The command box recognizes all pronsole commands, but has no tabcompletion.
If you want to load stl files, you need to install a slicing program such as Slic3r or Skeinforge and add its path to the settings.
#to send a file of gcode to the printer
from printrun.printcore import printcore
from printrun import gcoder
p=printcore('/dev/ttyUSB0',115200) # or p.printcore('COM3',115200) on Windows
gcode=[i.strip() for i in open('filename.gcode')] # or pass in your own array of gcode lines instead of reading from a file
gcode = gcoder.LightGCode(gcode)
p.startprint(gcode) # this will start a print
#If you need to interact with the printer:
p.send_now("M105") # this will send M105 immediately, ahead of the rest of the print
p.pause() # use these to pause/resume the current print
p.resume()
p.disconnect() # this is how you disconnect from the printer once you are done. This will also stop running prints.
RPC SERVER
pronterface
and pronsole
start a RPC server, which runs by default
on localhost port 7978, which provides print progress information.
Here is a sample Python script querying the print status:
import xmlrpc.client
rpc = xmlrpc.client.ServerProxy('http://localhost:7978')
print(rpc.status())
CONFIGURATION
USING MACROS AND CUSTOM BUTTONS
Macros in pronsole and pronterface
To send simple G-code (or pronsole command) sequence is as simple as entering them one by one in macro definition. If you want to use parameters for your macros, substitute them with {0} {1} {2} ... etc.
All macros are saved automatically immediately after being entered.
Example 1, simple one-line alias:
PC> macro where M114
Instead of having to remember the code to query position, you can query the position:
PC> where
X:25.00Y:11.43Z:5.11E:0.00
Example 2 - macros to switch between different slicer programs, using "set" command to change options:
PC> macro use_slicer
Enter macro using indented lines, end with empty line
..> set sliceoptscommand Slic3r/slic3r.exe --load slic3r.ini
..> set slicecommand Slic3r/slic3r.exe $s --load slic3r.ini --output $o
Macro 'use_slicer' defined
PC> macro use_sfact
..> set sliceoptscommand python skeinforge/skeinforge_application/skeinforge.py
..> set slicecommand python skeinforge/skeinforge_application/skeinforge_utilities/skeinforge_craft.py $s
Macro 'use_sfact' defined
Example 3, simple parametric macro:
PC> macro move_down_by
Enter macro using indented lines, end with empty line
..> G91
..> G1 Z-{0}
..> G92
..>
Invoke the macro to move the printhead down by 5 millimeters:
PC> move_down_by 5
For more powerful macro programming, it is possible to use python code escaping using ! symbol in front of macro commands. Note that this python code invocation also works in interactive prompt:
PC> !print("Hello, printer!")
Hello printer!
PC> macro debug_on !self.p.loud = 1
Macro 'debug_on' defined
PC> debug_on
PC> M114
SENT: M114
X:0.00Y:0.00Z:0.00E:0.00 Count X:0.00Y:0.00Z:0.00
RECV: X:0.00Y:0.00Z:0.00E:0.00 Count X:0.00Y:0.00Z:0.00
RECV: ok
You can use macro command itself to create simple self-modify or toggle functionality:
Example: swapping two macros to implement toggle:
PC> macro toggle_debug_on
Enter macro using indented lines, end with empty line
..> !self.p.loud = 1
..> !print("Diagnostic information ON")
..> macro toggle_debug toggle_debug_off
..>
Macro 'toggle_debug_on' defined
PC> macro toggle_debug_off
Enter macro using indented lines, end with empty line
..> !self.p.loud = 0
..> !print("Diagnostic information OFF")
..> macro toggle_debug toggle_debug_on
..>
Macro 'toggle_debug_off' defined
PC> macro toggle_debug toggle_debug_on
Macro 'toggle_debug' defined
Now, each time we invoke "toggle_debug" macro, it toggles debug information on and off:
PC> toggle_debug
Diagnostic information ON
PC> toggle_debug
Diagnostic information OFF
When python code (using ! symbol) is used in macros, it is even possible to use blocks/conditionals/loops. It is okay to mix python code with pronsole commands, just keep the python indentation. For example, following macro toggles the diagnostic information similarily to the previous example:
!if self.p.loud:
!self.p.loud = 0
!print("Diagnostic information OFF")
!else:
!self.p.loud = 1
!print("Diagnostic information ON")
Macro parameters are available in '!'-escaped python code as locally defined list variable: arg[0] arg[1] ... arg[N]
All python code is executed in the context of the pronsole (or PronterWindow) object, so it is possible to use all internal variables and methods, which provide great deal of functionality. However the internal variables and methods are not very well documented and may be subject of change, as the program is developed. Therefore it is best to use pronsole commands, which easily contain majority of the functionality that might be needed.
Some useful python-mode-only variables:
!self.settings - contains all settings, e.g.
port (!self.settings.port), baudrate, xy_feedrate, e_feedrate, slicecommand, final_command, build_dimensions
You can set them also via pronsole command "set", but you can query the values only via python code.
!self.p - printcore object (see USING PRINTCORE section for using printcore object)
!self.cur_button - if macro was invoked via custom button, the number of the custom button, e.g. for usage in "button" command
!self.gwindow - wx graphical interface object for pronterface (highly risky to use because the GUI implementation details may change a lot between versions)
Some useful methods:
!self.onecmd - invokes raw command, e.g.
!self.onecmd("move x 10")
!self.onecmd("!print self.p.loud")
!self.onecmd("button "+self.cur_button+" fanOFF /C cyan M107")
!self.project - invoke Projector
USING HOST COMMANDS
Pronsole and the console interface in Pronterface accept a number of commands
which you can either use directly or inside your G-Code. To run a host command
from inside a G-Code, simply prefix it with ;@
.
List of available commands:
pause
: pauses the print until the user resumes itrun_script scriptname [arg1 ...]
: runs a custom script or program on the host computer. This can for instance be used to produce a sound to warn the user (e.g.run_script beep -r 2
on machines were thebeep
util is available), or to send an email or text message at the end of a print. The $s token can be used in the arguments to get the current gcode file namerun_gcode_script scripname [arg1 ...]
: same asrun_script
, except that all lines displayed by the script will be interpreted in turn (so that G-Code lines will be immediately sent to the printer)shell pythoncommand
: run a python command (can also be achieved by doing!pythoncommand
)set option value
: sets the value of an option, e.g.set mainviz 3D
connect
block_until_online
: wait for the printer to be online. For instance you can dopython pronsole.py -e "connect" -e "block_until_online" -e "upload object.gcode"
to start pronsole, connect for the printer, wait for it to be online to start uploading theobject.gcode
