Slic3r plugin for OctoPrint

WARNING

This plugin has been successfully tested for the following cases:

1. Linux: Slic3r's stable versions 1.1.7 and 1.2.9 (tests done under a Raspberry Pi 2, but it should work for other Linux distributions).
2. Linux: Also tested with Slic3r Prusa Edition version 1.33.8 and 2.3. You might need TBB using these instructions.
3. Windows: Slic3r works for version 1.2.9, not doing it for version 1.1.7.

Installing PrusaSlicer

Download either the ARM version if you have a Raspberry Pi or get a version from the PrusaSlicer download page.

Put that in a directory on the same device (Raspberry Pi or computer) that has OctoPrint. Then type:

chmod +x <the name of the AppImage>

To test that it works, run:

<the name of the AppImage file> --version
