A useful python script that automaticaly logs the onboard sensors on your Ultimaker 3D printer during prints.
Note: This is still a work-in-progress, suggestions and PR's are welcome!
- Local UTC time on printer (requires internet for NTP)
- Target and current bed temperature
- Target and current nozzle temperature(s)
- XYZ position of the print head
- Flow sensor data (like filament used)
- Layer height
- Option to select which data points to log
- Option to use system time instead of requesting time from printer
- Write code to add data points more easiliy
| Model | Supported | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| S5 | Yes | Works best using Ethernet |
| S3 | ? | Not tested yet |
| 3 | ? | Not tested yet |
| 2+ Connect | ? | Not tested yet |
Note: Some people have said that the WiFi connection drops out regularly during printing, it is recommend to connect using an Ethernet cable for best results.
- Download this repository
- Open a terminal in the
src/directory - Type
python ultilogger.py -h, this will display the help page to get you started
Example of running the ultilogger.py script in the terminal:
$ python ultilogger.py -ip 192.168.10.102
+----------------------+
| Press CTRL+C to exit |
+----------------------+
- Using API address: http://192.168.10.102/api/v1
- Output directory: ./log/
- Connecting to API...
The script will automaticaly start logging once it connects to the API and a printjob starts printing.
Once the printjob is done, a CSV file will be created with the following format:
[Printer Name](start time of print) name of print.csv
This file can be opened in Microsoft Excel or LibreOffice Calc:
The script uses the REST API on the printer, more information about the REST API can be found locally on the printer itself:
- Connect the printer to your local network
- Get the local IP of the printer from the touchscreen interface
- Open a browser on a local PC and navigate to
http://<your printer IP>/docs/api/
