toybox-api — Python Client for ToyBox 3D Printers

Async Python client for ToyBox 3D printers via the make.toys Meteor DDP protocol.

Used by the Home Assistant integration.

Features

• Meteor DDP WebSocket client (no REST — make.toys is DDP-only)
• Authentication via Meteor accounts
• Real-time printer state via DDP subscriptions (printerStates collection)
• Print job tracking via toyPrints collection
• Time remaining / elapsed / progress calculations matching make.toys web app logic

Installation

pip install toybox-api

Usage

import asyncio
from toybox_api import ToyBoxClient

async def main():
    async with ToyBoxClient() as client:
        await client.connect()
        await client.authenticate("email@example.com", "password")
        await client.subscribe_to_printer_data(["printer_id"])

        data = await client.get_all_data()
        print(f"Printer: {data.printer.display_name}")
        print(f"Online: {data.printer.is_online}")
        print(f"State: {data.print_state}")

        if data.current_request:
            print(f"Printing: {data.current_request.print_name}")
            print(f"Remaining: {data.current_request.remaining_seconds}s")

asyncio.run(main())

Status

🟡 Beta — Implements real Meteor DDP protocol. Needs live testing with active prints.
