Bed Ready

Plugin that uses the camera and opencv to determine if the bed matches a reference image indicating that the bed is clear and ready to start a print.

For the plugin to work properly add @BEDREADY at the beginning of your slicer’s start gcode. For best results add gcode to your slicer’s end gcode to position the head out of the way for the next comparison.

NOTE: Lighting, camera view angle changes, and filament color that is similar to the bed can impact accuracy; adjust the Match Percentage setting below to compensate.

Configuration

Use the Test Snapshot button to compare the currently stored Reference Image with the bed.
