Spoolman to slicer config generator

Create slicer filament configuration files from the spools in Spoolman.

My templates are included for:

• OrcaSlicer
• SuperSlicer

They are easy to update with your settings.

It should be possible to use it with slic3r and PrusaSlicer too, but there are no included templates for them.

Usage

usage: spoolman2slicer.py [-h] [--version] -d DIR
                          [-s {orcaslicer,prusaslicer,slic3r,superslicer}]
                          [-u URL] [-U] [-D]

Fetches filaments from Spoolman and creates slicer filament config files.

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --version             show program\'s version number and exit
  -d DIR, --dir DIR     the filament config dir
  -s {orcaslicer,prusaslicer,slic3r,superslicer}, --slicer {orcaslicer,prusaslicer,slic3r,superslicer}
                        the slicer
  -u URL, --url URL     URL for the Spoolman installation
  -U, --updates         keep running and update filament configs if they\'re
                        updated in Spoolman
  -v, --verbose         verbose output
  -D, --delete-all      delete all filament configs before adding existing
                        ones

Prepare for running

Run:

virtualenv venv
. venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Config file templates

spoolman2slicer uses Jinja2 templates for the configuration files it creates. They are stored with the filaments' material's name in templates-<slicer>/. If the material's template isn't found, default.<suffix>.template is used, where suffix is the config files suffix (ini for Super Slicer, info and json for Orca Slicer).

The variables available in the templates is the return data from Spoolman's filament request, described here.

They are also printed when the -v argument is used and the filament is about to be written.

The default templates assumes there is an extra field defined called "pressure_advance" and sets the pressure advance settings based on it.

sm2s also adds its own fields under the sm2s field:

• name - the name of the tool's program file.
• version - the version of the tool.
• now - the time when the file is created.
• now_int - the time when the file is created as the number of seconds since UNIX' epoch.
• slicer_suffix - the filename's suffix.

To generate your own templates, copy your existing filament settings from the slicers config dir (on linux: ~/.config/SuperSlicer/filament/, ~/.config/OrcaSlicer/user/default/filament/) to the template dir with the material's name plus ".template", then change the fields' values like the provided template files.

The filename used for the filaments is created by the filename.template template.

Run

Ubuntu SuperSlicer

./spoolman2slicer.py -U -d ~/.config/SuperSlicer/filament/

Ubuntu OrcaSlicer

./spoolman2slicer.py -s orcaslicer -U -d ~/.config/OrcaSlicer/user/default/filament/

MacOs OrcaSlicer

./spoolman2slicer.py -s orcaslicer -U -d  ~/Library/Application\ Support/OrcaSlicer/user/default/filament
