OctoPrint Settings

Plugins

Progress and Time Remaining

To update the progress bar and time remaining on the printer display during an OctoPrint job, you need a plugin that sends M73 commands to the printer. A common plugin for this purpose is "M73 Progress"

M117 Messages

To increase the amount of data you can display during a print, there is an M117 message box located between the time indicators and the menu buttons. This can be used to display a vast range of print info using different plugins. Two plugins I use to get rotating data in the message box are "Detailed Progress" and "DisplayLayerProgress"

Error Handling

This section helps to avoid random/strange printer errors, particularly M112
