@jneilliii is probably correct. The plugin is not available for "Cura Essentials" users. This is not by my choice, but by Ultimaker's. "Cura Essentials" is Ultimaker's subscription-based enterprise thing, where they decide what plugins are or are not safe to use for you. In essence it boils down to pay to have less functionality for more money .
Instead of adding the plugin via the marketplace website, try the Marketplace in Cura (top right corner). Make sure you are not logged in to your account in Cura. Also give the Marketplace dialog some time to populate. It takes around a minute on my system. Sigh.
Sorry for the late reply. I did have an Ultimaker essentials account. I created a new Ultimaker account with out essentials and it now works. Thank you for all your help though.
That makes more sense. Does the camera show in the OctoPrint web interface?
Can you please post a link to the full Cura.log? It can be found via Help -> Show configuration folder.
A prerelease of the plugin for Cura 5.0 beta is available here:
To download this prerelease version, go to the linked page and scroll down to the 'Assets' section. There you will see curapackages compatible with different versions of Cura. For the Cura 5.0 beta you will need to download the file ending with Cura5.0.curapackage. After downloading that file, drop it onto the 3d viewport in Cura 5.0 as if you were opening a 3d model. You will then be prompted to restart Cura. You can drop multiple curapackages one after the other without restarting each time if you want to install multiple plugins. If you want to test these updated release in an older version of Cura, please download the curapackage labeled for that version.
Need help, Im using Cura 5.0 and installed the latest Octoprint plugin but when i go to the printers i dont see the "connect to octoprint button". Any Thoughts?
There seems to be an issue in Cura 5.0 where updating/installing plugins leads to a situation where Cura thinks/shows that the plugin is installed, but the plugin is not actually there. Please do the following:
In the Marketplace, on the "manage" tab (cogwheel icon), uninstall the plugin
@polndsprin what type of printer do you have? From the logs you provided, it looks like you have an Ultimaker 3 Extended. Ultimaker 3 and newer printers are not compatible with OctoPrint. They cannot be controlled via USB or any externally available serial port. Ultimaker printers have their own network connectivity suite which you already seem to have configured.
In short: the "Connect to OctoPrint" button does not show up because your printer cannot be connected to OctoPrint.
Hello I'm glad this is a current and continuous thread and appreciate that you're taking the time to help people resolve issues.
My issue is that I can get API keys in Cura, everything says it's connected, even checking that I can get to the browser after connecting. But when I go to print, it says "you're not allowed to access octoprint with the configured api key".
Have tried many routes and configurations, keep getting the same message.
Tried getting api from octoprint settings, no spaces just the key.
Tried global key.
Tried with HTTP username and password.
AND it was working after initial set up but apparently something changed.
