Simple Filament Change Buttons

This plugin simply adds some buttons to send the filament load/unload/change commands for Marlin, so you don't have to use the LCD menu.

Setup

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

https://github.com/TheThief/Octoprint_Simple_Filament_Change_Buttons/archive/master.zip

Use

To use automated filament change (M600):

  • Click Change Filament to automatically park the head and then unload filament.
  • When new filament is ready to load, click the LCD button or the Resume button in Octoprint.

To manually unload/load (M702/M701):

  • Make sure the nozzle is heated
  • On the Control tab, click Unload to unload the old filament
  • Feed in the new filament to the extruder gear. Then click Load to load the new filament

Configuration

Enable ADVANCED_PAUSE_FEATURE in your Marlin firmware, along with PARK_HEAD_ON_PAUSE and FILAMENT_LOAD_UNLOAD_GCODES. I also recommend having EMERGENCY_PARSER enabled.
