This guide expects that you are using Slic3r, but it should also work with other slicers.

Installation

$ mkdir -p ~/.Slic3r/utils/gcode_metadata/analysis
$ cd ~/.Slic3r/utils/gcode_metadata/analysis
$ wget https://github.com/malnvenshorn/OctoPrint-MetadataPreprocessor/archive/master.zip
$ unzip -j master.zip "OctoPrint-MetadataPreprocessor-master/analysis/*" -d .
$ virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python2 venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
$ python setup.py install

Usage

$ analysis --help
Usage: analysis [OPTIONS] PATH

Options:
  --speed-x FLOAT
  --speed-y FLOAT
  --offset <FLOAT FLOAT>...
  --max-t INTEGER
  --g90-extruder
  --help                     Show this message and exit.

Slic3r

You can easily integrate the analysis script in your workflow with slic3r. Simply add the absolute path of the script under the post-processing scripts option.

Slic3r

If you want to supply arguments, e.g. --g90-extruder, you need to write a wrapper script. I placed mine under ~/.Slic3r/utils/gcode_metadata/generate_octoprint_metadata.sh, see screenshot above.

#!/bin/bash
~/.Slic3r/utils/gcode_metadata/analysis/venv/bin/analysis --g90-extruder "$@"
