Async python protocol for flashforge printers. A simple way to connect and interact with your 3D printer.

Tested on FlashForge Adventure 4, most likly to be working with other FlashForge printers.

from ffpp.Printer import Printer
myPrinter = Printer('192.168.0.1', 8899) # Change to the ip of your printer.
await myPrinter.connect()

print(f"{myPrinter.machine_type} is {myPrinter.machine_status}")

Check out example to learn more.

You need to call the update() to get the current status, temperature and print percent from printer.

await myPrinter.update()
print(myPrinter.print_percent)
await myPrinter.update()
print(myPrinter.print_percent)

This is the information collected from the printer.

• myPrinter.machine_type
• myPrinter.machine_name
• myPrinter.firmware
• myPrinter.machine_SN
• myPrinter.maxX
• myPrinter.maxY
• myPrinter.maxZ
• myPrinter.extruder_count
• myPrinter.mac_address
• myPrinter.machine_status
• myPrinter.move_mode
• myPrinter.status
• myPrinter.led
• myPrinter.current_file
• myPrinter.print_percent

Run this line to return the extruder tool:

extruder = myPrinter.extruder_tools.get()
# or by index
extruder2 = myPrinter.extruder_tools.get(1)

You can do the same for your bed in myPrinter.bed_tools

Then you can do:

extruder.now # Current temperature.
extruder.target # Target temperature.
