Print percentage issues
I've got M73 plugins, and the PrintTimeGenius plugin installed for much more accurate print times. Octopod is sending me alerts that don't align with what is showing on the printer screen due to these plugins.
Hey guys,
I do not use PrintTimeGenius plugin so asking this. Does it only change remaining print time or does it also change percentage of print progress? M73 plugin only changes remaining time (to be more accurate) but it does not change progress %.
Thanks, Gaston
Plugin changes % percentage and time. Octopod remaining time accurate but progress % is not accurate
Sorry it's been busy lately. Print time plugin runs the gcode through a simulation to calculate the print time more accurately. It then updates the estimate for the file, and handles the % updates throughout the print. M73 plugin, sends these updates to the printer so it displays on the screen (tft35 in my case).
I've also seen other plugins add an option for "print time = total - elapsed". Octoprint Micro Panel has this option. I'll be honest and say that I tried to look at the code to see if I could be the monkey that happened to bash it with a hammer and actually fix it but I'm sure you can guess how it went....
@gdombiak I'm not using the M73 plugin but I am running the PrintTimeGenius as well as ProgressBasedOntime plugins and my progress bar as well as time remaining is correct in both the Octoprint web GUI as well as in the Octopod app (they always match each other) however the % alert/notifications I get from Octopod are not in sync with those progress bars and seem to still be based on the old/default progress calculation.
I'm having the same issue. If I connect to octoeverywhere via the app, I get the data. When I switch back to the local network connection nada. This did work until about a month or so ago I think. Not exactly sure when it stopped working.
I noticed something like this recently too. In the example screenshot below, I'd just got a 50% notification, but the print is actually closer to 75% done based on the times shown. (~2hrs remaining of ~7.5hrs)
