Every time I want to print something with Octoprint I get the following error message:
Layer indicator not found in file! Check layer pattern in DisplayLayerProgress-Settings and reupload the file!
The slicer that I use is Cura 4.4.1 but other slicers generate the same message.
My knowledge is not sufficient enough to solve this. Is there someone who can help me with the right settings?
Windows 10
Printrer Creality Ender 3
Cura 4.4.1
Octoprint version Version 1.3.12 with the latest plugins
The displayLayerProgress Plugin looks for specific lines in the gcode file which tells it where a new layer starts.
Have a look at the plugins settings in the tab "Layer" is a brief description what it expects, together with samples for different slicers.
Normaly this should work with Cura "out of the box".
Maybe these indiciator-lines are supressed in your Curas gcode output through a setting or they are not longer valid on behalf of chances in Cura.
Hi @freddydelange,
if you still have issues with the plugin, just create a ticket in my GitHub and attach your layer-settings and your gcode.
I am sure we can find a solution.
Btw. I will update the documentation about the popup.
Hello, thanks for the response. I am almost certain that it must be something in octoprint or the plugin because it also gets me the message with other slicers. am a newbey so it is rather difficult for me maybe it will be easier by e-mail? thanks in advance otherwise don't know how to make a ticket (sorry)
