M3D Fio

OctoPrint plugin for the Micro 3D printer that provides a complete, platform independent alternative to the printer's official software.

M3D Fio can be installed with OctoPrint's built in plugin manager.

It works in conjunction with OctoPrint's autodetect serial port and baudrate feature, so neither of those values need to be specified in order to successfully connect to the Micro 3D printer.

Installers were made for Windows, OS X, and Linux to simplify installing OctoPrint, M3D Fio, and all their dependencies like any device drivers. If your using Windows, you can run this file to install everything. If your using OS X, you can run this file to install everything. If your using Linux, you can run this file or run the following commands to install everything.

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/donovan6000/M3D-Fio/master/installers/Linux/installer.zip
unzip ./installer.zip

M3D Fio expands the capabilities of OctoPrint to make it fully compatible with the Micro 3D printer. All of the printer's settings can be customized.

Controls are added which allow calibrating the print bed, loading/unloading filament, updating the firmware, managing the EEPROM, etc.

Slicing profiles can be customized before slicing a model.

Any model sliced in OctoPrint can be modified before hand.

New instances of OctoPrint can be created to allow using multiple printers at once.
