Security!
First off, we had quite a few discussions about this at the office. As you need to have the proper trade-off between security and ease-of-use. Also, security is not an easy subject. Things that might look secure don't have to be. Things that are secure might be a pain to use.
Pairing, under the hood
The pairing process is actually a multi step process. These steps are:
HTTP Digest..
The nice things about standards is, that you have so many to choose from. For security we looked for something that was quite easy to implement, but offered the security we needed.
The cop-out
If you are developing, and the security is in your way and you want to deal with it later. There is a cop-out. All this complex digest and pairing is disabled in the WiFi setup right now. As you are a local hotspot. This also made it easier to develop the WiFi setup.
The real thing
Finally, some actual things. There are 3 API parts that are important at first.
Doing actual things
Still following me? Good. If not, sorry, this is all very technical. I will provide example code at the end.
Change the name
Remember from day 1, the printer name was read at /api/v1/system/name. Now, we can set the printer name the same way, but instead of a HTTP GET, we need to use a HTTP PUT.
The technology behind the API
The API is a REST interface using JSON. That could be 3 new words for you right there. Don't worry.
Example time!
You most likely don't have your fansy Ultimaker 3 yet. But I do. Now, first things you need to do is connect your printer to a network. As it's not really possible to access something remotely without access. So setup that WiFi or just plug in a cable.
But, it is a 3D printer!
Yes yes. It is a 3D printer. So we want 3D printer data. And we have that. There are 2 basic important start points:
When did Ultimaker 3 stop being made?

But, It Is A 3D Printer!
- Yes yes. It is a 3D printer. So we want 3D printer data. And we have that. There are 2 basic important start points: http://10.180.1.209/api/v1/printer http://10.180.1.209/api/v1/print_job The first contains a lot of information about the printer itself. And all of those things can be accessed in the same way as the system part. The second contains information about the currently runnin…
/Api/V1/Printer
- Let us look at the /api/v1/printer first. This as the following sub parts: /api/v1/printer/led- Part to access the printer casing leds. /api/v1/printer/heads- Part to access the printer head (more on this one later) /api/v1/printer/bed- Part to access information of the printer bed, limited to current and target temperature. /api/v1/printer/status- Best thing to look at first. Basic status of the printer. T…
/Api/V1/Printer/Status
- The main status of the printer, can be: 1. idle: Printer is doing nothing and ready for action. 2. printing: Printer is actively printing something, or still needs to be emptied, print_job needs to be retreived for details. 3. error: Something is wrong with the printer, and requires action at the printer itself to be corrected. 4. maintenance: Someone is actively doing things with the printer, for exa…
/Api/V1/Printer/Heads
- The printer has a single head. However, the API is prepared for possible futures, so it accounts for multiple heads already. Do not take this as a reason to think we are developing multi head printers. It just good engineering practice to have this in place when it costs almost no effort. So, the actual part that we need to access for print head information is: http://10.180.1.209/api/v1/p…
/Api/V1/Printer/Diagnostics
- Currently, the only intressing part here is: http://10.180.1.209/api/v1/printer/diagnostics/temperature_flow/10 The last number can be changed up to 20000, but that might take a while to load. The printer takes about 10 samples per second. The result of this is: It is a history of temperature data for both hotends, and the bed. Th…
/Api/V1/Print_Job
- http://10.180.1.209/api/v1/print_job That's the part that returns the currently active print job. Or it returns: If there is no print job running. It does not return a whole lot of information, but I think it is the most important information that you can have about the printer. So I will go over it in great detail. A result when a job is running looks like: Initially, the most important entry to look at is th…
