    OK. Jumping in this thread because I have a Cura Issue! First off Octoprint is working fine. I have Cura 2.5.0 and it is communicating to the printer, and I even have the webcam working in Cura. HOWEVER if I manipulate a file and get it ready to print, I hit the print button and nothing happens! I can save to file in Cura (gco file) and manually upload, but that defeats the purpose of the Curas interface. The version I loaded had the R2 profile already in it. HELP!

    Haven't done this myself. I usually slice in Cura to a USB drive, move that over to the Robo and then I use OctoPrint to kick things off.

    I do understand that this plugin might need to be turned on or used or something.

    Found the documentation to get this going.

    Jump down to Connecting a Printer via Wifi in the online docs for Cura. It's necessary to permission Cura in OctoPrint by introducing the API Key to it.
