Panda graphic #12

Open DoTsTeR77 opened 7 months ago

DoTsTeR77 commented 7 months ago

I would like the option to change the Panda graphic to something custom or at least be able to change to the bigtreetech logo.. Its nice but is a little too cartoonish for my taste.. thank you..

UBEXHH commented 7 months ago

Same! Makes it look cheap. Like a toy.

Qjeezy commented 7 months ago

I agree with this.

My device has a BTT logo by default? Running firmware 1.0.1.

DoTsTeR77 commented 7 months ago

That's there when there is no print job. When you start a print the panda screen cones up..

I would like a print model preview in that space as I start the print.

looxonline commented 7 months ago

We will consider this but it may only be for V1.0.4 release as the next release will be focused on critical bug fixes and critical functionality additions.

Model preview is a challenge because the preview is embedded within the zipped 3mf which means that the 3mf needs to be downloaded locally and unzipped. We may be able to do this if there is an external USB connected but that is still a variable that we need to look into.

Regarding previews.. How about a small program/app running on a PC/smartphone/mac/whatever on the local network that can take care of a few things that the bambu touch does not have the space/horsepower for.. for example.. send it the .3mf file.. have it spit back a .jpg preview for the bambu touch to use.. it's use could be totally optional.. just an idea to throw in the hat..

Actually this is one of the options that we have considered but we felt that users would not be happy with it because it is not a self contained solution. It is also completely subject to the other device remaining available which could be a variable and impact the reliability of the feature. We may be able to do the current model being printed just using an attached USB and then do the others in the file list using a remote machine. Will keep it all under consideration.

Regarding previews.. could this be done with a mqtt call to the printer like what the Home Assistant integration does ( cover image)? Link to their repository: https://github.com/greghesp/ha-bambulab

This is also something that we have considered but it is not getting it from the local MQTT, it is getting it from the cloud. We are entirely able to implement this route and it was actually on the roadmap two months ago but we have paused it because we are waiting to hear more about the bambu API.

Being able to customize the graphics of the home screen would be fantastic, being able to add a user-customized image would be a very welcome feature!

I hope so I think this is an important thing to have the graphic of what is printing on the screen.

looxonline commented 7 months ago

V1.0.3 will have a file that contains all of the PNG graphics and you can edit them to your heart's content.

Update: It is more likely that we will only be able to make the panda graphic editable in V1.0.3 and we will work on enabling theme packs in V1.0.4

@looxonline looking at the code for the home assistant integration, it looks like this is accomplished with a direct connection to the printer. See here

gpambrozio commented 1 month ago

I managed to reverse engineer a lot of stuff and figured out a way to update the image every time you start a print (if you have a home assistant with this integration installed.

See here.

I'm probably going to create a proper AppDaemon app to make it easier to install using hacs.

Hey Man! Thanks for the tips. Since our last comms on this thread we have figured out method to get print images to work and the functionality will be rolled out in future firmware releases.
