    (Note: I'm mainly sharing what I did, no time to actually upload the stuff now + question at the end)

    Hey guys,
    I am recently working (mainly for the challenge) on creating the option to flash the firmware through Octoprint without uploading files and installing avrdude.
    I was able to do so by writing a small plugin to highjack the serial communication temporarily when needed

    The side results are that I can also override control and use S3D for example and I can also readonly in parallel to Octoprint.

    * I tried to actually print like that with S3D, but the communication broke, the print stopped and the hotend burned a hole in my plastic bed :(

    It's currently very tailored to my exact setup and no settings are available.

    So my question is: is anyone interested in such a thing? Is it worth my time to make it configurable?

    I will share the code as is anyway soon and update here.

    Sure :)

    There are a number of Octoprint users on here.
    That is an interesting approach.

    I'd be interested. I just setup the AVRDUDE method last night as was going to wrap it in some scripts so that I don't have to remember and type so much.
