Macro 3D Printer Workflow/fr

Description
La macro crée un fichier stl avec des arrondis parfaits, c'est-à-dire sans facettes visibles, à partir des objets sélectionnés. Elle permet également de lancer les programmes de votre choix. Par exemple pour automatiser le flux de travail FreeCAD → Slicer → Flux d'impression.

Après la création du fichier stl, vous pouvez, par exemple, ouvrir votre slicer avec le fichier stl, allumer votre imprimante, chauffer le lit de l'imprimante et, si nécessaire, déclencher des commandes supplémentaires dans votre système automatisé.





Principe du lissage




La macro modifie la propriété déviation des solides avant de créer le fichier stl et rétablit les valeurs originales par la suite. Elle peut ensuite lancer le fichier stl qui s'ouvrira par exemple sous Cura si l'extension stl a été associée à ce programme sur votre système d'exploitation.



Lancement d'autres programmes ou commandes
La macro peut lancer des programmes ou des commandes supplémentaires que vous pourriez saisir dans un terminal :
 * Allumer l'imprimante et la lumière (nécessite une prise commandée par ordinateur).
 * Connecter Octoprint à l'imprimante.
 * Commencer à préchauffer le lit de l'imprimante.
 * Sauvegarder votre FreeCAD et votre fichier stl quelque part.

Installation
Vérifiez que l'extension stl est associée à votre slicer sur votre système d'exploitation. En d'autres termes, lorsque vous double-cliquez sur un fichier stl, votre slicer doit s'ouvrir et charger votre fichier stl.

Si vous exécutez la macro telle qu'elle est, elle créera simplement le fichier stl sans facettes visibles, mais aucun autre programme ne sera lancé. Pour cela vous devez éditer les lignes de code qui suivent  dans la section Parameters that can be changed. Regardez les commentaires dans le Code.

Utilisation

 * 1) Sélectionnez un ou plusieurs objets solides à imprimer.
 * 2) Lancez la macro.
 * 3) La boîte de dialogue s'ouvre : [[File:Macro_3D_Printer_Workflow_Dialog.png]]
 * 4) Cochez les options souhaitées dans la colonne de gauche.
 * 5) Saisissez la précision Accuracy (param deviation) :
 * 6) * 0.5 est la valeur par défaut dans FreeCAD.
 * 7) * 0.05 permet un lissage plus fort.
 * 8) * 0.01 est parfait du point de vue du lissage.
 * 9) Appuyez sur le bouton.

Plus l'écart est faible, meilleur est la qualité mais plus grande est la taille du fichier stl. La valeur doit être comprise entre 0 et 1

Principle of smoothing : it modifies the deviation property of the solids before generation of the stl and then replace the old values At the end, it proposes to launch the stl file which will open for example under cura if the stl extension has been associated with cura in your operating system.

Launching other programs or commands : You can ask it to chain any program or command that you might type in a terminal. To do this, you must change what is in the "parameters that can be changed" section.

Examples of applications: - Turn on the printer and the light (requires for example a controlled socket) - Connect octoprint to the printer - Start the tray preheating - Save your FreeCAD and stl file ....

 * 1) Parameters that can be changed
 * 1) Parameters that can be changed


 * 1) Smoothing management

deviation=0.01 doitLancerFichier=True # if True, it will be proposed to launch the stl file. # otherwise put False
 * 1) deviation : default value that will be displayed in the dialog box.
 * 2) 0.5 is the default value in FreeCad, 0.05 allows a stronger smoothing.
 * 3) 0.01 is perfect from a smoothing point of view.
 * 4) The lower the value, the better the quality,
 * 5) but the larger the size of the stl file
 * 6) the value must be between 0 and 1


 * 1) Automatic program launch,
 * 2) Automation of the production line

delaiMax=10 # if the user enters a delay greater than this value, # it will be reduced to delaiMax


 * 1) To launch programs of your choice
 * 2) Typically for example a home automation program,
 * 3) turn on your printer or/and a light etc.
 * 4) Use the following syntax by adding after the line "# insert your lines here" a line
 * 5)   with this syntax (important: align the [ with the others):
 * 6)  [ ['command to execute', 'param 1', param 2, ] ,'.extension','question to ask', waiting time],
 * 7) Details of the syntax :
 * 8)  'command to execute' : the command you want to execute.
 * 9)  'param 1, param 2,...' : if your program needs parameters.
 * 10)      These parameters will be taken into account only if extension=''.#
 * 11)  'extension': if not empty then the first parameter will be replaced by the name of
 * 12)      your FreeCAD file but with this extension.
 * 13)  'question to ask': the question to display in the dialog box
 * 14)  time_wait : optional : nb of seconds to wait after execution
 * 15)      allows for example to wait for the printer to start before asking it to heat the plate
 * 1)      allows for example to wait for the printer to start before asking it to heat the plate
