isort VS OctoPrint

isort: This library sorts your imports alphabetically, and automatically separates them into sections and by type. It provides a cleaner and more organised way to manage project imports.

isort will sort the imports for you

isort is a Python utility that helps in sorting and organizing import statements in Python code to create readable and consistent code. It automatically formats import statements in accordance with PEP 8.

isort

isort , A Python utility / library to sort imports.

Install black and isort and just don't worry about it. :-)

Sure. Also, and don't take this the wrong way, but there are some code smells in your project that could be partially mitigated with some basic linting/formatting. I suggest black as a code formatter, flake8 for basic linting, and isort for sorting imports (for example, you have local imports mixed in with standard library and third party imports). You can install these via pip and most editors (like VS Code) can autoformat on save and show you linting problems as you edit. And you can integrate these into your workflow by using pre-commit.

The cheapest way is to use OctoPrint. Octoprint itself is free, and although it's often run on a Raspberry Pi, it can be installed on many things, such as an old laptop runing Linux or even Windows, or a small single-board computer. OctoPrint would connect to the printer using a USB cable, and you'd send the slicer output to Octoprint over your WiFi.

Octoprint

2023-11-08 14:10:57,263 - octoprint.util.connectivity.connectivity_checker - INF O - Resolving octoprint.org is working

- Two LibreELEC (https://libreelec.tv/) mediaplayers in house (yes, one is not enough in my big family).

- One for hosting low usage applications at home network (Unifi controller and some more).

- Octoprint (https://octoprint.org) connected to the 3d-printer.

- One on my desk for hardware hacking – mostly as just a PC with GPIO.

- Some Raspberry Pi Zeros as security cameras.

Really quite easy, especially if you have ever dealt with a raspberry pi before. Once installed & set up, you manage everything over a web interface. I even added a webcam to it in order to see what's going on. Check out https://octoprint.org/

For other devices it can be harder, there are guides for installing on Linux on the octoprint website (I use an old laptop running Linux Mint). If using an old Android phone look for Octo4A.

I’d just get Octoprint setup and a camera for it
