As of version 1.19.x, the DisplayLayerProgress plugin is no longer required. The below is only relevant for older versions.

OctoPrint-Dashboard currently requires the DisplayLayerProgress plugin to be installed for all features to work correctly. (This requirement may be removed at some point in the future but it is currently necessary for some features to work.)

Remove DisplayLayerProgress from Toolbar

The DisplaylayerProgress plugin adds a toolbar, sidebar and desktop printer display message by default. If you want to disable these and still use the Dashboard, you can simply Change the following settings in the DisplaylayerProgress plugin settings:

  • Show printer display on Desktop
  • Show current height in Statusbar
  • Show layer information in Statusbar
  • Navigationbar Message

DisplayLayerProgress error message

Warning: Can't get stats from DisplayLayerProgress. Is it installed, enabled and on the latest version?

This error message indicates that the dashbaord plugin can't detect or communicate with the DisplayLayerProgress, please ensure that it is installed, enabled and correctly configured for your printer. If you do not want to use the features that require DLP, you can suppress the warning message in Dashboard Settings -> Other settings.

If the error message is displayed despite the DLP plugin being installed and working, it can be an indicator of a Javascript error on the page. In that case, open the javascript console in your browser and include any errors you see there if you open an issue on github.

Fan speed, Layer, Height and Average Layer Time is not updating

These metrics depend on DisplayLayerProgress being installed and working. The Dashboard will display the following warning message at the bottom if DisplayLayerProgress can't be accessed:

Warning: Can't get stats from DisplayLayerProgress. Is it installed, enabled and on the latest version?

When starting a print. It can take some time for the metrics to be calculated and displayed. The Average Layer Time is only displayed after the first five layers has been printed.

Layer Offset

Some slicers start at layer zero (like CURA) and some starts at layer one. You can add an offset to the reported Layer height in the Layer tab of the DisplaylayerProgress plugin settings to suit your slicer.
