#Dice

Once you finish slicing, it's time to Dice up your Gode to one or many 3d printers. Dice is a simple way to spoon-feed Gcode to all your printers from a single computer. It will detect all your serial connections and create a control folder for each.

#Setup

Run: apt get install python3-watchdog Edit ./printer_settings.txt with the serial connection names in /dev/ and the needed baud rate. If your serial connection is /dev/ttyACM0 and your baud rate is 250000, the config line would look like this: ttyACM0:250000 Typical baud rates are 9600,115200,250000 but will vary depending on your printer. Make sure to add a line for each of your printers.

#Control folder structure

If your conntion is called /dev/ttyACM0 you'll have the folling files: ./printers/ttyACM0/upload ./printers/ttyACM0/printing ./printers/ttyACM0/done If you have more than one printer/serial connection, you'll have the above folders for each printer.

#Printing

Copy your Gcode to ./printers/<your_printer>/upload. Dice will detect this, and your Gcode will be moved to ./printers/<your_printer>/printing. This will also kick off the gcode_send process to spoon-feed your printer serial style.

#Cansling a print

Delete or move the Gcode from the printer's printing folder. rm ./printers/<your_printer>/printing/print_to_cansel.gcode

#Done prints

Once a print completes, it Gcode will be moved to ./printers/<your_printer>/done
