Configure custom gcode macros you can use anywhere!

OctoPrint Gcode Macros Plugin

Create custom commands you can add anywhere: in your gcode file, OctoPrint’s terminal, gcode scripts, or other plugins to run a configured script.

Use macros for preheating your printer, levelling the bed, changing filament… Possibilities are (nearly) endless!

Installation

Install from the plugin repository or manually using this URL:

https://github.com/cp2004/OctoPrint-GCodeMacros/releases/latest/download/release.zip

Warning: This plugin only supports Python 3 installs. To find out more about upgrading your OctoPrint install to Python 3, you can take a look at this post

Configuration

Once installed, you can start defining your macros. All commands are prefixed with an @, so they don’t interfere with standard gcode commands. However, this means that some commands are reserved. OctoPrint uses these specific commands for pausing & resuming prints, but also other plugins can use custom @ commands. For example, OctoLapse uses @OCTOLAPSE TAKE-SNAPSHOT or the WLED plugin uses @WLED ON or @WLED OFF to control some LEDs.

The commands are case sensitive, and you can have spaces, numbers and punctuation in them!

These commands will not work while printing from the printer’s SD card

Supporting Development

I work on OctoPrint, OctoPrint plugins and help support the community in my spare time. It takes a lot of work, so if you are interested you can support me through GitHub Sponsors. You can contribute monthly or one time for any amount, you choose!
