[Upload Util] GDrop, uploads files automatically

Here is a small util I have been working on.

I call it GDrop because when you drop a G-code file in a folder it gets uploaded to the printer.

I have a lot of ideas regarding more features but I decided it would be fun if it is useful for others too.
Therefore I wonder if anyone is interested in some beta testing and maybe propose more features?

I hope you like it!

It has the following features:
Resides in system tray, shows ballon tooltips when it is working
Monitors a specified folder for new files and uploads them to the Ormerod via FTP
Option to monitor recursively from specified path
Option to only upload G-code files
Option to delete files on the printer when the get deleted on the monitored folder

A failed upload is not retried (printer offline or printing)

Zip-file with executable and settings file attached. Runs on Windows and requires .Net framework 4.5.


Some screen shots:

Looks interesting, I'll have to give it a try when I get my printer up and running.

I can't find any reaction after installation? why？help me！！！Thank you !!!

Do you get an icon in system tray?

The exe file is the application, not an installer.

Another thing: I have found that it is a bit too trigger happy and tries to upload files before slicing software has finished writing to the file. Update coming soon.

Can you drum up a version ported for us MAC users

Another RS Ormerod Mk1 meets the world

Retired now but I used to make....
CNC Machined Mk1 aluminium bed support plates for the Ormerod
CNC machined X-plates and ribs for Mk1 & Mk2 Ormerods
CNC machined bed support arms for the Mk2 Ormerod.
Dual Hot-End heatsink blocks.

Nice idea, does it sync the gcode folder (e.g. delete/add/modify)?

I assume it uses FTP? and therefore not supported on official RRP duet firmware?

Yes it uses ftp and listens to create/modify/delete events.

You assume right, zombie or DC firmware is required. Should have written that in the first post.

The idea is to point the utility to the root folder of where one stores the sliced files. As soon as a new file is sliced it will be uploaded. I store my g-code.files in different folders based on what filament it is created for.

There is an issue if you set it to monitor a folder where the slicing software writes. It tries to upload the file before the slicing has completed. I have solved it and just needs some more testing before I publish it.

So for the time being one must copy the sliced file to the folder being monitored. It kind of kills the whole idea but it is soon to be fixed.
