Quickly mocked up the circuit on a breadboard to verify its operation. Octoprint's PSU Control plugin is set to toggle Pin 8 (Physical pin, not GPIO 8) for power control. The circuit did perform as intended. The coil draws 15mA when energized which leaves our little TO-92 transistor only dissipating 18mW, well within its 350mW limit.
