[Request] Flashforge Adventurer 3 Support via WiFi/ethernet #18

Open lhassaine opened 4 years ago

lhassaine commented 4 years ago

Great plugin! Do you think the Flashforge Adventurer 3 would work?

Mrnt commented 4 years ago

I think it might - the product ID will need to be added to the code in order for it to connect.

If you install the plugin and try to connect, it will attempt to find FlashForge printers and indicate the product ID in the OctoPrint Terminal tab if it does not recognize the printer as supported. If you feel comfortable editing the code you can add it to the list here: https://github.com/Mrnt/OctoPrint-FlashForge/blob/e781b2823342f4edb8bcd59d0e107a86b01993ff/octoprint_flashforge/__init__.py#L20 If it works you can post the ID here and I will add it to the next release.

If you are not comfortable editing the code I can give you a version to test with if you provide the ID.

Related to this, I'm working to resolve an issue with another model that may play into this one, so if you go ahead and add the ID to the code but still can't connect then let me know anyway.

Hi, Just wondering where would I find the product ID and/or where did you find the other ones? Thanks

Mrnt commented 4 years ago

The easiest way to find the IDs if you are using OctoPrint and have installed this plugin:

  1. connect the printer to the computer/Raspberry Pi running OctoPrint
  2. switch to the "Terminal" tab in OctoPrint
  3. make sure the "Serial Port" and "Baudrate" in OctoPrint are set to "Auto"
  4. click "Connect" in OctoPrint and you should see some messages appear in the Terminal window, including the device ID (and possibly the vendor id): 
    
Changing monitoring state from "Offline" to "Error: Connection error, see Terminal tab"

Unexpected error while connecting to serial port: AUTO FlashForgeError: 'Found an

unsupported FlashForge printer 'Flashforge Finder 3D Printer' with USB ID: 0X0002' @

comm.py:_openSerial:2691 (hook flashforge)


In this example the printer product ID is 0x0002

Otherwise, if you have the printer hooked up to a Mac: 

1. go to the Apple icon in the menu bar and select "About This Mac"
2. select "System Report..."
3. then look under Hardware section, USB and in the right side of the screen there will be a list of USB devices including the details for each
![3D_Printer_USB_IDs](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1972570/81433139-f098a680-9118-11ea-8ddc-d43269927404.png)

It has been a while since I used Windows, so not sure how to do it on there.

If you can find them, then put them in here and I'll add them to the plugin.

Hi, The Adventurer 3 only has a power port, ethernet and USB stick slot. Would it still work? Thanks

Mrnt commented 4 years ago

So you would run OctoPrint on a RaspberryPi or old PC and connect it to the Adventurer via the USB port and the Raspberry Pi/ PC would be connected to your LAN via its own ethernet/wifi. You would then control the printer using the OctoPrint web interface running on the RaspberryPi/PC.

I'm not too familiar with the Adventurer, but since it has ethernet already I believe that you can already control it remotely using the Polar Cloud but I cannot speak to the pros and cons of using that over Octoprint - how are you looking to use OctoPrint with the Adventurer?

wolfbiteaus commented 4 years ago

Hi, I might be reading this wrong, but as I read it, its like connecting to a usb printer which the FlashForge Adventure is not. only ethernet, wifi, & usb stick (which never seems to work) But saying that usb 2 ethernet works, is that relavent to this addon or not? I've added a dump of the usb2eth connection below I apologise if this is not relevant. If it is relevent I can do further testing if required for you.

@lhassaine, @Da-Stu13 I had to realized the Adventurer does not support USB to host connections. Unfortunately right now the Adventurer will not work with this plugin as the plugin is using USB for the connection.

@wolfbiteaus You are correct - after looking at the spec I realize the Adventurer does not have a USB to host connection. The idea of a connection via USB to ethernet on the Adventurer is interesting but I am not sure how the Plugin would know to try and communicate via that USB port since it will presumably show up as a USB to Ethernet adapter (not as a FlashForge printer) when polling the USB ports. I am guessing it doe not currently show up as a port in OctoPrint?

wolfbiteaus commented 4 years ago

I'm not a expert with this stuff (but know how to google :) Found https://www.lucid-control.com/accessing-usb-io-module-network-linux-socat/ Is this something useful for you? or I log to octoprint? or something not relevent?

had a brain fart moment, google socat & octoprint. Seem various comments & work arounds. but I think I'm too dumb for most of it. close and ignore if need be, its starting to hurt my head :)

Side note: OctoPrint SHOULD note its ONLY for usb printers in the headings :(

Julzilla commented 4 years ago

Any updates on this project? Willing to test if needed.

ghost commented 4 years ago

We established that it is not possible until Octoprint release support over Ethernet. I have not checked recently so I’ll take a look😀

Mrnt commented 4 years ago

I might be able to add it.

Questions for you guys:

ghost commented 4 years ago

My adventurer 3 has currently got a fixed ip At 192.168.1.89:8899 as far as I know this is the only way to connect wirelessly without using a cloud service. Due to it having a fixed up you could possibly input the it in the initial setup.

Julzilla commented 4 years ago

I might be able to add it.

Questions for you guys:

  • My printer does not support connections using the hostname, ie http://myprinterhostname.local does not work - it has to be the IP address eg http://192.168.1.123 Does your printer connection by hostname or does it have to be IP address?
  • Since it is not practical to scan the user's network for the printer, the user will have to enter the printer address manually. Any thoughts on how/where in OctoPrint the user would enter the network address of the printer?

It is possible to get samba access to the Adventurer 3 through CrashForge https://github.com/pressreset/CrashForge-samba

With this you would be able to edit '/etc/hostname' in a text editor on windows (Notepad++) and give the machine a hostname. I can try this for you and report back if you like?

Edit - Not working on AD3 :(

This guy managed to get access to SSH but not how he did it

ghost commented 3 years ago

Any new info? can do some testing if u need.

humor4fun commented 3 years ago

I'm also interested in a solution here. Since the Adventurer 3 has a native interface over ethernet for receiving print jobs, perhaps there's a way to simply send octoprint jobs over to that web/api interface for the AD3? (such that the two devices are not actually connected except for being on the same network segment)

There's a cross-platform client application for uploading files to an Adventurer III/Voxel:

sohsmith commented 2 years ago

There's a python library that works for sending prints to an Adventurer III/Voxel in the tdptk package (https://github.com/johndoe31415/tdptk.git). I'm currently using tdptk to send Cura generated jobs to my Monoprice Voxel, it claims to be able to convert gcode to gx complete with bitmap and metadata but I haven't bothered to try it, just producing files with .g and the right prefix/postfix gcode gets the print done. The interface module is a single file module (tdptk/FlashForgeProtocol.py) that looks to be straightforward to use and not even too horrible to reverse engineer a protocol spec from. The author might even have the spec.

brendann993 commented 2 years ago

I've had a quick look and it appears that the adventurer 4 (and likely the adventurer 3) use the same command syntax e.g. ~ in front of the command and responds in the same way as what this plugin does but instead of communicating via USB it does so over TCP e.g. a virtual serial port connected to TCP endpoint. I don't know enough about python to add the ability to use tcp as the connection.

Looks like the Adventurer 3 API has support to send and start printing files, could be good, know the repo is closed but others might find this useful. https://github.com/Slugger2k/FlashForgePrinterApi
