Integrations and Automation

Integrations and Automation

Cindr3D includes workshop-oriented integrations so printer events can reach the tools already used around a maker space or home lab.

At a Glance

Area	Use it for
Notification bridges	Human-visible print start, failure, pause, and completion alerts
MQTT telemetry	Workshop dashboards, sensors, automations, and external consumers
Home Assistant	Entities, dashboards, and household/workshop automations
Slicer profile exchange	Importing known Cura/Orca/Bambu/3MF settings
Power-loss recovery	Guided resume after reconnect
Enclosure safety	Chamber, door, air quality, and preheat/cooldown behavior
Stepper tuning	Per-axis current, microstep, and mode experiments

Event Types

Common automation events include:

• PRINT_START
• LAYER_CHANGE
• PAUSED
• FAILED
• DONE

These events can be routed to notification bridges, MQTT telemetry, or Home Assistant surfaces.

Notification Bridges

Supported notification targets include:

• Generic webhooks
• Discord
• Slack
• Telegram
• MQTT

Use notifications for print starts, failures, completion notices, and long-running job status updates.

MQTT Telemetry

MQTT support can publish printer and workshop state at a configurable cadence.

Typical telemetry:

• Printer status
• Temperatures
• Position
• Progress
• Print events
• Chamber and air-quality topics

MQTT is also useful as a bridge between Cindr3D and dashboards, automations, or sensors that do not speak printer firmware APIs directly.

Home Assistant

The Home Assistant bridge exposes per-printer discovery and control payloads.

Common actions:

• Pause
• Resume
• Cancel
• Monitor state
• Surface printer entities in dashboards

Home Assistant is especially useful for power automation, chamber sensors, air quality, and visible household/workshop notifications.

Slicer Profile Exchange

Cindr3D can import profile data from common slicer ecosystems.

Supported sources include:

• Cura
• OrcaSlicer
• Bambu Studio
• 3MF profile data

The import flow maps external settings into Cindr3D print profiles and can preview the mapping before applying it.

Power-loss Recovery

Power-loss recovery captures enough in-progress state to offer a guided resume after reconnect.

Snapshot data may include:

• File
• Position
• Z height
• Layer
• Bed state
• Tool state

After reconnect, Cindr3D can help restore heat, Z position, and file position before resuming.

Enclosure and Air Safety

Enclosure features can combine firmware state, direct sensors, and MQTT topics.

Supported safety ideas:

• Chamber temperature monitoring
• Chamber targets and ramp curves
• Print-start preheat
• Completion cooldown
• Door-open cooldown or pause
• VOC, PM2.5, and CO2 thresholds
• Start-lock behavior when an enclosure is open

Stepper Driver Tuning

Stepper tuning can adjust per-axis driver settings where firmware allows it.

Common controls:

• Motor current
• Microsteps
• StealthChop or SpreadCycle mode
• Wiggle tests
• Per-printer presets

Command mappings include Klipper SET_TMC_CURRENT and RRF/Marlin-style M906, M350, and M569.
