OctoPrint for Autodesk® Fusion 360™ is a plugin where you can send directly the G-code of your created model to the OctoPrint server via Autodesk Fusion 360 and then it will be printed for you a physical model with a 3D-Printer.

The publisher of this plugin is Autodesk, Inc.!


You will get more information about OctoPrint, then you can visit the original website of Octoprint with this link: https://octoprint.org/

Would you like to installt the OctoPrint server on your old computer or Raspberry Pi? (Debian-based Linux distributions)

Then you have the option here to install it with this command:

cd Downloads && wget -N https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cryinkfly/Fusion-360---Linux-Wine-Version-/main/scripts/stable-branch/octoprint-server-install.sh && chmod +x octoprint-server-install.sh && bash octoprint-server-install.sh && exit

After the installation you can start, stop or restart the server with changing the option of this command:

sudo service octoprint {start|stop|restart}

For example, you want to start the server:

sudo service octoprint start

Then you can access the server by heading to http://YOUR-IP-ADDRESS:5000 and you should be greeted with the OctoPrint UI.

octoprint_vm

But you can configure a lot more and so I recommend reading this post here:
