Upload GCODE to RRF(Standalone) in KISSlicer

PCR

I like the ability to upload .gcode files within a slicer. Most slicers have the feature built in.
KISS does not. But with only some lines of code it is possible. But its no working with the DSF (SBC)

You will need

KISSlicer from http://www.kisslicer.com/
RFM from https://github.com/wilriker/rfm/releases. Download the release for your OS
A RRF controlled printer with network

Here is my workflow. I show it on my windows based machine but it will work on linux too. It could be not best practice but it works

On my PC i´ve got a folder names .gcodes where i save all my sliced files
Extract here the rfm or rfm.exe file from @wilriker
will look something like this

Then open the command line or terminal in this folder and "register" your printer.

type in

for Windows

rfm ls -device <Name of your Printer> -domain <IP or domain> -port <Port>

for Linux

./rfm ls -device <Name of your Printer> -domain <IP or domain> -port <Port>

in my case

rfm ls -device Q5 -domain 192.168.178.22  -port 80

you can test the connection by typing in

rfm ls -device Q5

This should output something like this

C:\Users\PCR\Desktop\gcodes>rfm ls -device Q5
total     427548
[d]              -      2020-10-25T17:55:50     filaments
[d]              -      2020-10-24T18:09:22     gcodes
[d]              -      2020-10-25T17:55:44     macros
[d]              -      2020-09-26T11:14:36     sys
[d]              -      2020-10-24T16:06:32     www
[f]         427548      2020-10-22T21:15:46     FIRMWARE.CUR

Then go into the KISSlicer Setting under Printer/Firmware

There you should add this command to the Post-Process field

Windows

"C:\Users\PCR\Desktop\gcodes\rfm.exe" upload -device Q5 <FILE> 0:/gcodes

Linux/Mac

./rfm upload -device Q5 <FILE> 0:/gcodes

now everytime you save the file in the folder where rfm.exe is located the file will be uploaded to your printer.

It will look like KISSlicer is "breaking" but this is only during the upload

Feel Free to ask.

how is this simpler or better than using curl and a 2 line script?

KISS PostProcessor command

<KSPATH>\EV2.BAT "<FILE>"

script contains

curl -k -# -F "select=false" -F "print=false" -F file=@%1 -X POST http://192.168.X.Y/rr_upload?name=gcodes/%~nx1

curl "http://192.168.X.Y/rr_disconnect

RRF does not like spaces or punctualtion in filenames. I have not used DOS batch scripts on a long time, so the variable as filenames is touchy.

I REALLY wish Lonesock gets stuff together and gets 2.0 done soon.
