Latex

• pdflatex or similar (xelatex may work). Make adjustments in the script accordingly:

 ...

Required packages:

• scrlayer-scrpage

• inputenc
• fontenc
• lmodern
• geometry
• booktabs
• ltablex
• siunitx
• menukeys
• caption
• marginnote

Additional packges on Debian-Jessie required (~ 550 MB):

Python

Written in Python 3.7. Maybe earlier version will work too. Required packages:

• os
• sys
• pathlib
• re
• argparse
• subprocess

Tested with

• Windows 7 (x64)
• Windows 8.1 (x64)
• Ubunut 16.04 LTS
• TexLive 2018 (full install)
• MikTex 2.9 (auto install missing packages)

Usage

Just run the script with your GCode-file as first parameter. I.e. PROG mySlicedFile.gcode

Use these, optional, parameters:

• -au|--author define the author of the pdf
• -b removes the graphic representation of the bed shape
• -t removes the text (xy coordinates) of the bed shape
• -bt removes the bed shape completely
• -g removes all gcode sections
• -c prints the configuration section only
• -s prints the summary section only (cannot be used with -c)
• -cc|--commentcolor changes the color of gcode comments, in hex (default: ff0000 = red)

Usage in Slic3r

If you want to use this script as a post-processor (create a pdf automatically with exporting gcode) then use this script as following: C:\Program! Files! (x86)\Python37-32\python.exe c:\dev\SCPP\Slic3rConfigPrettyPrint.py -o --au "John Doe"

Make sure you don't have a white-space at the end of this string. Otherwise you'll get a syntax error. NOTE: before every white-space you'll need an !. Whatch closly: C:\Program! Files! (x86)\.

Examples

Input: PROG mySlicedFile.gcode -t -au "Mister Slic3r"

Output: PDF with graphic of bed shape, no xys. Change the author name to "Mister Slic3r".

Input: PROG mySlicedFile.gcode -c -cc dd0034

Output: PDF without the summary and comments colors in dd0034'.

Customize

Edit LaTexTemplate() to match your usual layout. Style is in LaTexStyle().
