I so appreciate @stewart’s assistance in getting the Octoprint plugin to work. I learned a few things about Octoprint which I hadn’t quite appreciated before and it did finally force me to understand how virtual environments in python work.
Part of my issues was that I have been using the disk image of Octopi for my installations and that makes some software choices that are not always what I need. Current images seem dated.
I’ll work on slicer profiles for my Prusa and my Creality and share those settings as I can.
