An OctoPrint plugin to move models around without re-slicing

OctoPrint-TranslateModel

Translate Model allows you to move models around in gcode files without reslicing.

Features

• Select files via the translate button in the file pane
• Quick and easy model movement along the x and y axes
• Options to automatically print files after translation

Setup

Install via the bundled Plugin Manager or manually using this URL:

https://github.com/Willmac16/OctoPrint-TranslateModel/archive/main.zip

• This plugin will compile its C++ code on install, but this should be pretty quick.

Credits

• Thanks to KenLucke for the plugin suggestion and testing help.
• Thanks to AlexDashwood for the fix for a conflict with ContinuousPrint
• Thanks to ScottWell1 for adding support for Prusa's M555 command

Fails to install on Windows 10 OctoPrint instance

I am running an OctoPrint instance on a Windows 10 computer with Python 3.10.1. I have the appropriate C++ build tools as recommended in step 2 of this Windows installation guide.

When I install this plugin with the OctoPrint plugin manager, the file translate.cpp fails to compile. This is based on this excerpt from the output shown in the "Installing plugin..." dialog.

Error!

Full output from the dialog should be attached. I can't really show you my full plugin_pluginmanager_console.log since it seems to be just the same errors repeated and the output of some sanity checks I tried to do (like uninstalling my C++ build tools and seeing the installer complain about it, which makes sense).

output.txt

Windows installations of OctoPrint are usually more problematic, so I tried installing other plugins to check if it was an issue with my setup. Installing other plugins worked fine. I also looked around the plugin repository for projects that use C++, and installing the ones I could find worked fine. Eventually I deleted OctoPrint's venv files and reinstalled it using pip and venv using the instructions in the Windows installation guide mentioned above. This plugin still would still give the same error when installed, and other plugins continued to install fine. Based on this I'm fairly sure this is a plugin-specific issue.

I also discovered early on that I was using the 2022 C++ build tools instead of the 2019 build tools suggested by the Windows installation tutorial. Downgrading did not solve the error. The error shown when the 2022 build tools were installed was identical to the error shown above, but a different cl.exe. Is there a very specific compiler I should be using, and how would I tell the installer to use it? Would I have to fork this repository and mess with the build config somehow so I could install it properly on my own? (I haven't done that yet since I don't even know how to create a basic dev enviroment for OctoPrint plugins)

Thanks for reading, and sorry if this was the wrong place to post this.

Clicking the translate icon on the translate tab only works once

I have both TranslateModel and Arc-Welder plugins installed and enabled. I did a successful(?) translate and Arc-Welder did its thing automatically. I went to delete the arc-welder file but deleted the translated file as well. Now pressing the translate icon on the translate tab does nothing.

Relative movement at the end of print suppressed

Translated G-code has G91/G90 lines removed, unfortunately this will make the hotend crash on the printed model.
When modifying gcode files created in Cura, this part:

G91 ; Set coordinates to relative
G1 F2400 E-3 ; Retract filament 3mm at 40mm/s to prevent stringing
G0 F5000 Z20 ; Move Z Axis up 20mm to allow filament ooze freely
G90 ; Set coordinates to absolute
G0 X0 Y235 F5000 ; Move Heat Bed to the front for easy print removal

becomes:

G1 F2400 E-3 ; Retract filament 3mm at 40mm/s to prevent stringing
G0 F5000 Z20 ; Move Z Axis up 20mm to allow filament ooze freely

G0 X-10 Y225 F5000 ; Move Heat Bed to the front for easy print removal

Not working for me

I installed the plugin and attempted to use it. My first comment is that it isn't immediately obvious how to run it. Clicking on the icon in the file list doesn't appear to do anything. I was expecting the translate model dialog to pop up but it did not.

I moved to the Translate Model Plugin tab and found the file name, x and y at 0 and with "do nothing" selected. I changed X and Y to 10 and clicked the translate button. This did start the process and generated a new .gcode file. I downloaded the original file and the translated file and compared them. They were identical (i.e. no translation took place).

I thought maybe "do nothing" was exactly that so I went back to the tab and selected "load". Clicking on the translate button does nothing. The process won't run a second time.

My printer is a LulzBot TAZ 6. Since the start gcode includes wiping the nozzle on a pad in a fixed location, I was curious if those commands would get translated which would render the resulting gcode useless.

[Feature Request] Add version number and translate parameters to initial "; Processed by..." line

I think it would be useful if the version number of OctoPrint-Translate and the translate parameters were added to the output gcode file. I'd suggest adding them to the initial "; Processed by OctoPrint-TranslateModel" line.

Need similar plugin, can you maybe help?

Hi, apologies if this is a little cheeky, but I need a similar kind of plugin and I wondered if you could give me some direction or maybe even help (I am a coder, but I have never done an Octoprint plugin before).
I have an IDEX printer and want a plugin that will change all instances of E0 to E1 - such that, if I have a GCode file which is sliced for Extruder 1, instead have it print using Extruder 2 (Because the filament I want is already loaded into extruder 2).
Your plugin already does a lot more complex stuff - I just need to work out what bits I need to change to make it a unique plugin, and where my entry point is. I guess essentially what you are doing is registering some hook - you get passed each line of Gcode and do some string manipulation, then write it out.
If you could give me a leg up, I would really appreciate it.

Did not update plugin version on release

You also need to update this version:
https://github.com/Willmac16/OctoPrint-TranslateModel/blob/main/setup.py#L17

Otherwise the plugin update goes in to a loop, always asking you to update.

I suggest you update to 0.2.2 and then release that.

Translate M555 Print Origin

Enhancement Request.

Prusa's current implementation (MK4, XL, and perhaps MINI) uses M555 to tell the firmware what portion of the bed is actually being used for the print. The "G29 P1" bed leveling then probes only the area defined by M555 instead of the entire bed.

Octoprint-TranslateModel does not currently translate that M555 (I assume because it occurs before the start of the first layer). That leads to the bed leveling area and print area being inconsistent after translation.

PrusaSlicer's start Gcode uses placeholders to emit the M555 when slicing:
M555 X{(min(print_bed_max[0], first_layer_print_min[0] + 32) - 32)} Y{(max(0, first_layer_print_min[1]) - 4)} W{((min(print_bed_max[0], max(first_layer_print_min[0] + 32, first_layer_print_max[0])))) - ((min(print_bed_max[0], first_layer_print_min[0] + 32) - 32))} H{((first_layer_print_max[1])) - ((max(0, first_layer_print_min[1]) - 4))}

That results in an embedded Gcode such as:
M555 X76.9202 Y72.6461 W99.2314 H83.4777

Would it be appropriate for Octoprint-TranslateModel to translate the print origin X and Y positions in the M555 command?

Clicking the translate icon in the file list doesn't open the translate tab.

When I click the translate icon in the file list, I expect some kind of feedback which most likely would be to open the translate tab. I believe it has done this a few times but it is not consistent.

For example, when I click on the Arc-Welder icon, I get a dialog box as feedback.

PreRelease Discussion

Goals for v0.1.0

• add threading support, so it is non-blocking
• handle already translated objects
• some sort of object copying (possibly with cancel object support)

No button at Files panel. Conflict with Continuousprint plugin.

Hello! I have an issue with the missing TranslateModel button in the Files panel. It's happening on all my instances.
Before writing this issue, I remembered that one of my favorite plugins, Scheduler, had a similar problem. It was related to a conflict between PrintScheduler and the Continuousprint plugin, which was successfully solved by @jneilliii.

Since I'm using both of these plugins, I decided to try taking the button code from PrintScheduler and inserting it into TranslateModel (leaving only the "template" code). Everything started working and the button appeared. Inspired by that, I decided to submit a pull request.
I'm not a developer, so I don't know if this code leads to any issues, but it works for me. Also, I'm new to Github, so if make something wrong, please tell me.

TL;DR: If you don't have the button at the Files panel and you're using Continuousprint plugin, you likely have the same issue. If you need to fix it ASAP, you can install modified version using this URL in Plugin Manager just update plugin, it works great.
Upd: thanks for heartwarming response :)

Featurerequest: Bed Visualization

Hi

I like the idea, but still I am using the slicer to move things around. The only reason is that I see where I am going to. It is for me more secure the calculating/visualizing it in my head.
If you could add the print bed vew showing the actual and the translated position as displayed in the readme this would be great.
thx in advance
