Simplify3D Shortcut to OctoPrint

For those using Simplify3D and OctoPrint, here's a very useful trick which allows you to save S3D gcode files directly to OctoPrint. The link shows how to do it in Windows.

I run S3D on a Mac so I opened Terminal to see if curl was already installed and it was. (In Terminal, enter "curl -V" to see the version number and verify that it's installed. I have version 7.43.0.)

After that I followed the instructions in the link, and it works perfectly.

If you are using firmware version 3.0.6, you should have something similar to the following for your "Additional Terminal commands for post processing" box:

{REPLACE "G1 Z" "G4\nG1 Z"}
/usr/bin/curl -k -H "X-Api-Key: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" -F "select=false" -F "print=false" -F "file=@[output_filepath]" "http://octopi:5000/api/files/local"

Please note that there really is a newline after the {REPLACE...} line but the curl line is all one stretched out line. This is the key to making the G4 replacement working in addition to the shell commands. Also note, I'm using Linux. This is probably going to be different for different operating systems such as Windows or MacOSX. Follow instructions in original poster's link.

and an 8 inch (200mm) or greater caliper is recommended.
