OctoPrint Monitor
is Plasma (KDE5/QT) plasmoid designed to continously monitor your 3D printer controlled
by OctoPrint software and update you on any state change, incl. progress the printing,
errors or other state changes.
It comes with various layouts types suitable for different installation locations. Compact one comes useful when you want it to sit directly in your panel bar (be it vertical or horizontal) and bigger, feature-rich (including embeedded Octoprint camera view) to be placed as widget on your desktop. Multiple configuration options let you tweak it as you like.
Sometimes one picture is worth more bunch of words, so here we go:
OctoPrint Monitor
sitting in vertical panel. More detailed information (incl. bed and hotend temperatures) are
provided in a tooltop, available once you hoover your mouse over the widget.
This instance is configured to not display text state when printer is Idle
.
The same detailed information provided in tooltip.
Printing in progress. Different icon, additional print progress percentage and graphical progress bar below. Each and every element can be turned on or off, like seen on image below, where both progress bar and textual state is disabled, but progress percentage is kept enabled.
You can also control the size of status icon (it stretches to panel dimensions by default, but can be scaled down, as seen of the above images). You can even disable the icon completely.
OctoPrint Monitor
installed as desktop widget. Printer is in Idle
state, and widget is configured to NOT
update webcam view in such case (hence 'STOPPED' mark next to screenshot timestamp).
Widget now shows additional infomation related to ongoing printing job.
Since v1.2.0 you can manually refresh camera view or pause it on demand.
