OctoDash

OctoDash is a simple, but beautiful dashboard for OctoPrint. Please read the instructions carefully!
OctoDash is a User Interface for OctoPrint, it utilizes the OctoPrint API but tries to use modern design principles in order to fully enable the power of your Raspberry Pi attached to your 3D Printer. OctoDash works best with a Touchscreen and will support almost all functions that OctoPrint offers just in a nicer format. Give it a try!

Tips and Tricks

• OctoDash supports printing from your Raspberry and from the printers SD card, if configured in OctoPrint (v1.5.0 and up)
• You can let OctoDash push out and pull in the filament during a filament change, if you setup your feed length correctly (v1.5.0 and up)
  • You can also use your printers filament change progress, just enable this in the settings (the printer needs to support M600)
• If you're using FilamentManager add the color (in HEX format) to the end of the name, like "Vendor black (#000000)", this color will then be shown in the filament selection menu
• You can adjust the look of OctoDash by adjusting the ~/.config/octodash/custom-styles.css file and adding your own CSS rules (v2.0.0 and up)
• OctoDash supports .ufp package and PrusaSlicer preview images (v1.5.0 and up)
  • To get the best results, you should use a square aspect ration, like 256x256
• You can also show the thumbnails during print, if you press on the percentage inside the progress ring (v1.5.0 and up)
• You can press multiple arrows directly after another in the control view. All actions will be executed in series, even if the prior didn't finish
• The six actions on the right in the control view can be customized. They can either send GCode commands to your printer, restart OctoPrint or your Pi and even open iFrames so you can view your camera
• You can adjust the temperatures and fan speed in the home screen by pressing on their icons, if you want to set them to zero, just tap the value once (v1.4.1 and up)
• OctoDash will start in your host's language if it is supported. You can start OctoDash in a different supported language by starting it with LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 octodash. Currently supported languages are: fr_FR.UTF-8, english will be used if your requested language isn't available
