I semi-regularly wipe my computer to keep it running smoothly. However, I usually forget to backup my slicer profiles before doing so. This utility automatically backups your slicer profiles to a GitHub repository, similar to Klipper-Backup.
Note
This was written out of necessity and not originally intended to be a public project, so don't exactly expect 3MS-level documentation...
Create a file env.txt in the same directory as main.py. Example contents:
# Determine config dir by going into slicer -> help -> show config folder -> user -> default -> copy path including "default" at the end
SLICERBACKUP_CONFIG_DIR='<SLICER PATH HERE>'
# GitHub repo to backup to
SLICERBACKUP_REPO_URL='<GITHUB REPO HERE>'
Ensure your Github access token is authenticated globally on your computer.
Run in your terminal, in the repo directory:
pipenv run python main.py
If nothing is output, success! Check the repo you configured to be sure.
In your slicer's post processing scripts section (for your most common profiles), add a line in the below format:
'<PYTHON INTERPRETER PATH>' '<SlicerBackUp main.py PATH>'
Now, whenever you export G-code or upload directly from the slicer, the repo will automatically be updated.
