This fork is only here to allow users to install from OctoPrint Plugin Repo after original author removed it, looking for maintainer. OctoPrint/plugins.octoprint.org#961
This is a basic plugin to work with a Laser Engraver. Printing from the OctoPrint interface with this plugin can turn your 3D printer into a laser engraver!
- M3 <p>: Turns ON the laser with power <p>
- M4 <p>: Turns ON the laser with power 255-<p>
- M5: Turn OFF the laser
The laser power can go from 1 (min) to 255 (MAX)
NOTE: It's highly suggested to add an M400 - Finish Moves before the M3, M4 and M5 commands.
Step 0) Install the plugin
Step 1) Connect the Laser driver to pins GPIO18 and GND
Step 2) Create a GCode using the described commands
Step 3) Print using Octoprint
Have fun :)
Oh, almost forgot, I'm not responsible for you hurting yourself with your cool laser, but please use it with caution.
