Feature: Add Spoolman Compatability

[Ocraftyone]

Add Spoolman support to OrcaSlicer!

Spoolman is a self-hosted database of your spools of filament and how much has been used. This update now allows OrcaSlicer to directly access your Spoolman database to create and update filament profiles. One central database of all of your spool settings means less time inputting filament parameters.

Currently, this implementation is designed to only work with Klipper printers that have moonraker also set up with Spoolman. A macro can then be called at the beginning of each spool's custom gcode to load the spool via moonraker. Moonraker will then track how much filament was used and report that back to Spoolman.

Demo:

Filament config values that are set

Spoolman Specific:

• spoolman_spool_id
• spoolman_remaining_weight
• spoolman_used_weight
• spoolman_remaining_length
• spoolman_used_length
• spoolman_archived

Filament Options:

• filament_type
• filament_vendor
• filament_cost
• filament_density
• filament_diameter
• nozzle_temperature_initial_layer (set by adding 5 degrees to normal temp)
• nozzle_temperature
• hot_plate_temp_initial_layer (set by adding 5 degrees to normal temp)
• hot_plate_temp
• default_filament_colour

Other ideas to expand functionality:

• Check if spool has enough material to finish print upon slicing
• Add option to "consume" filament upon upload
• Store the entire filament configuration in Spoolman (via the Spoolman API's "extras" section)

Possible Changes:
Statistics are currently a config value that is updated upon request, but I am considering making it so they are just pulled when you select a Spoolman spool This has been implemented.

@Noisyfox I did a refactor of a few lines of PhysicalPrinterDialog in 4ec7c12 that makes it a bit more readable with my changes. I don't believe I broke any of the functionality of your SimplyPrint integration, but if you could take a look at it and confirm, it would be much appreciated.

This is great! Big kudos for the work.

If Spoolman could be integrated like this, it would be great. Many thanks for the work . I hope it will be implemented

[CooperGerman]

can't wait to see this integrated =)

[Ocraftyone]

I was taking a bit of a break from this to work on the CMake system overhaul PR. Moving back to this to hopefully get it finished up 😊

[besser]

@Ocraftyone this integration you did was awesome!!!
Can't wait to see this integrated too :)

[Jesibu]

Can't wait to see this released :)

Spoolman is now able to pull from a global database of filaments, materials and manufacturers (see https://github.com/Donkie/SpoolmanDB), should you be interested in implementing it as a feature (say to search for your new spool directly in the slicer) I'd be willing to help test/develop!

[lindnjoe]

This is pretty amazing work, thanks for this!

@Ocraftyone - Sorry to sound like a broken record, but after installing v2.3.1, I see that Spoolman is not implemented in it. Isn't it possible to get Spoolman incorporated in such a way that it is automatically incorporated in new versions? Either way, could you please update your build so that we can run v2.3.1 with Spoolman? -- Thanks

[Ocraftyone]

@Ken6432 No worries, I understand. Every time I push new changes to this PR, new build files are made, I just forget to update the link. This link will list all of the successful builds for this PR. The top one should always be the latest.

[Ken6432]

@Ocraftyone - Thanks for the reply. I'm still not up to speed on how all of these builds work. Does this mean it will now be in tomorrow's build?

[Ocraftyone]

@Ken6432 The official code for the slicer is in SoftFever's OrcaSlicer repo. I have made a copy of that repo that I write my code changes to. This PR (Pull Request) is a proposal to take the code changes on my repo and add them to the official OrcaSlicer repo. The changes in this proposal have not been added to the official code yet as it is still in development. While it is in development, you will have to use the link above if you want the spoolman functionality. I will continue to update my repo from SoftFever's to keep the versions up to date. Only when this PR is marked as "Merged" will it be in the official OrcaSlicer repo.

[Ken6432]

@Ocraftyone - OK, thanks, that helps me understand it better. I love the functionality, thanks for make it available

[Zimbo111]

So far, I only know about integrating the web interface with spoolman. But is there any way I can import the filaments into the Orca slucer, as shown in the PR video where you can select them?

@Ocraftyone
First of all thanks for your work.
I tested your build and I think there is bug:
When importing filament from Spoolman, there are no default settings for bed and hotend temperatures. The created profile sets the temperature to 5, but the profile the import is based on has a different temperature.
I think if the temperature isn't configured in Spoolman, it needs to be cloned from the source profile.

[Zimbo111]

Why can install it and test?

@StellaLupus can you show me, how i can install a version with spoolman integration.?

same problem there
