octoprint-cli

octoprint-cli is a command line tool for controlling OctoPrint servers created in Python

This tool uses the OctoPrint API to control and view the status of 3D printers connected to OctoPrint servers

This project is a work in progress. Some features may not work as intended or be missing. If you have suggestions or find bugs, please report them in issues. Feel free to fork the repo to fix issues or to implement new features.

Limitations

Currently, octoprint-cli is limited to only printers with a single extruder and heated bed. Support for additional extruders and heated chambers may be implemented in the future. This program has been tested on OctoPi 0.17.0 on the Raspberry Pi 4 running OctoPrint 1.4.1 with a Monoprice Select Mini V2.

Colored and formatted text is not available on Windows systems due to the lack of support on cmd and powershell terminals

The program requires the API key to have all permissions to run
