Slicer Interfacing - Like OctoPrint's API
-
One thing I miss with using the Duet is the OctoPrint's API option that allows me to send a model from the slicer to the controller. I would love to see this option added to Duet if possible. Not sure if this is implemented in the web control or in firmware though.

for slic3r look here
post send to printer -
for cura there was a plug-in
cura print -
So if you use Cura there is this:

Haha ,beat me to it

Hi - I'm the developer of the Cura plugin mentioned above. Let me know if you have any feature requests! Or just open a new issue on the GitHub page!

You are missing the point of the API. While sending a file from a slicer is what it will probably be used for the most, it can also be used for other application. There is an Android app called Printoid that uses this interface to monitor the printer.

your question was "..that allows me to send a model from the slicer to the controller". And yes that there is.............
But yes, I do agree that even though the duet is open source, it doesn't seem to have a plug-in /API like Octopirint. And I do use octoprint/printoid on my other printer and would like to see duet going towards the direction of a kind of plug-in support.But I guess that lies in the future long after 2.0........But maybe the Duet guys could publish a kind of roadmap -
@elmoc the webserver accepts http requests from any source, so any application can send them. The DWC github documents this:

seen it before but never got to do something with it. Used Telnet up til now.Might try tonight to implement something on my node-red, as I have with my Octoprint. Maybe switch of the TV when a print is finished;-)

Here is another interface to the DUET web service api. This one is designed to monitor multiple printers, and provide a few simple controls.
