Making profiles for other printers
----------------------------------
Use [this](https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/blob/master/resources/settings/ultimaker_original.json) as a template.
* Change the machine ID to something unique
* Change the machine_name to your printer's name
* If you have a 3D model of your platform you can put it in resources/meshes and put its name under platform
* Set your machine's dimensions with machine_width, machine_depth, and machine_height
* If your printer's origin is in the center of the bed, set machine_center_is_zero to true.
* Set your print head dimensions with the machine_head_shape parameters
* Set the nozzle offset with machine_nozzle_offset_x_1 and machine_nozzle_offset_y1
* Set the start and end gcode in machine_start_gcode and machine_end_gcode
* If your printer has a heated bed, set visible to true under material_bed_temperature
