3D Printers

[dakhnod]

I would love to see the state of our 3D printers through the api,

not sure where exactly to put them in the json, though.

Could that be included?

What do you mean with "the state"? Whether they're turned on? How long they're printing?

We currently publish the webcam feed through the SpaceAPI: https://status.crdmp.ch/

Both, the progress, temperature etc

This will probably be quite space-specific, both what data you publish and what you do with it.

You should start specifying and using custom fields (prefixed with ext_ as per https://spaceapi.io/docs/). If a few spaces find this cool and start using the fields as well, we can discuss standardizing them.

Other opinions, @rnestler @gidsi?

Hmm, 3d printers are quite common, so far i can't think of a space who doesn't have one.

And im pretty sure we can have something quite generalized for the start, something like:

{
  ...
  "sensors": {
    "3dprinter": [
      {
        "name": "my-fancy-printer",
        "time_left": 120,
        "cam": "https://url-to-y.our/webcam"
      }
    ]
  }
  ...
}
