Hi Fiberpunk community!
We have been busy developing new features and fixing bugs with lots feedback from our users. Our goal has always been making 3D printing easier and in Node 1.0.7 firmware update and Nexus Update, we got some major improvement on UI and usability.
1. Release Log
Here is the new feature list:
Node Firmware:2022-9-29-2007
- Compatibility with Cura slicer and PrusaSlicer
- Added file size information return to "listdir" web request
- Added an 80 port service instance for receiving general requests on port 80

2.Main update function introduction
1.Compatibility with Cura and Prusaslicer.
This is the most frequently requested feature and we made it happened with suggestion from our user Volkmarnissen. We did by making Node (all versions) compatible with Octoprint network protocol and it will act as an Octoprint device when talking to Cura Slicer and Prusaslicer. This makes Node compatible with Octoprint network print function that is already available in Cura Octoprint plugin and Prusaslicer. This is a big thanks to both Volkmarnissen suggestion as well as Octoprint teams support. We are a proud sponsor of Octorpint project as well.
Here is how you use Cura’s Octoprint Plugin to upload gcode files to Node:

2. Modify the interface of Nexus, suitable for managing multiple printers
We have received many feedback on Nexus interface. Thank you all.
Here are the changes:
- Switch between different printers via tabwidget
When you need to manage more than 3 printers, this way of working allows users to manage each printer more conveniently.
- Add file size for the file list
