Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

MakerBot JSON-RPC Library for Node.js

THIS LIBRARY GRADUATED TO 1.0.0!

With every new feature comes breaking changes. See here for more info.

This library acts as an abstraction layer for the JSON-RPC methods that MakerBot 3D printers use. At the moment, it supports doing the following:

  • Authentication. You can authenticate with a Thingiverse OAuth token or locally by pressing on the knob.
  • Remote control. Control a printer remotely with a Thingiverse token and the printer's ID.
  • Get realtime camera stream (experimental). Get the realtime camera stream out of the printer.
  • Get realtime printer status. You can get the real-time status of the printer (what it's doing, info about the extruder, and much more).
  • Load/unload filament. You can instruct your printer to start the filament loading/unloading process.
  • Cancel current process. You can instruct your printer to cancel the current process (unloading/loading filament, printing, assisted calibration, etc.)
  • Print a file. You can instruct your printer to print a .makerbot file remotely.

Projects using this library

Example

const MakerbotRpc = require('makerbot-rpc')
const fs = require('fs')

var printer = new MakerbotRpc({
  authMethod: "reflector",
  accessToken: "thingiverseAccessToken",
  printerId: "yourPrinterId"
})

printer.on("connected", printerInfo => {
  console.log(`Connected to ${printerInfo.machine_name}, attempting authentication`)
})

printer.on("connect-error", err => {
  console.log("error connecting!", err)
})

printer.on("auth-push-knob", () => {
  console.log("To finish authentication, press the knob on your printer.")
})

printer.on("authenticated", res => {
  console.log("Authenticated!")
  printer.startCameraStream()
})

printer.on("camera-frame", frame => {
  printer.endCameraStream()
  fs.writeFile("testimg/test.jpg", frame, () => { })
})

printer.on("state", notif => {
  console.log(printer.state)
})
