Feature request: Send to Octoprint

[yschroeder]

I don't know if you want PrusaControl be a full-blown controll center to directly communicate with the printer (the name suggests this). However, I'd like to send my G-code directly to Octoprint, as it is possible with Slic3r.

:+1: In fact I have started implementing this some time ago in https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaControl/compare/ca7cedf...probonopd:WirelessPrinting - and am using it on a regular basis ever since.

An AppImage for testing is available at https://bintray.com/probono/AppImages/PrusaControl_Wireless/1556.glibc2.17#files

This so far successfully discovers one or more printers on the network, and lets the user print to them.

Please note: The current implementation does not work with genuine OctoPrint hosts yet because the API key is currently not sent (I am using it with my own firmware that implements a custom subset of the OctoPrint protocol without API keys). OctoPrint API key sending should be relatively easy to add though, but I didn't know where to put this in the GUI. In fact, I think the whole way we enter per-printer settings should be made dynamic, based on the printers discovered on the network. Input welcome.

Feedback welcome from @tibor-vavra and anyone interested! Also, Pull requests are welcome against my branch https://github.com/probonopd/PrusaControl/tree/WirelessPrinting

This get more urgent, now the new MK3 has Octoprint integration.

Ping - are there any plans to merge this?

I would very much like this. i like the fast and easy use of prusacontrol, but then having to manually juggle gcode files feels slow after cura "print on octoprint"

Absolutely a +1. This is what keeps me from using PrusaControl.

https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaControl/commit/7c9877c93e5fe319de1c0635ffbe0188b0575fe6 does implement this, but unfortunately there is no continuous build of it available to test.
