3D printer / slicing GUI built on top of the Uranium framework

The case where it reaches '20' is incorrect, it should never give an error, so it should've been 999999 or something. This case is also overly complex. Say that P is 'infill_line_distance > 0' and Q is 'spaghetti_enabled'... Then it would be the logarithmic if (P and not Q)... Then it would be 0 or 20 if (not (P and not Q)), which is ((not P) or Q)... Then it would be 20 if (((not P) or Q) and not Q), which is (not P)... And it would be 0 if (((not P) or Q) and Q), which is Q. So therefore it can be simplified to: 20 if (not P) else 0 if Q else logarithmic. But 20 became 999999, hence the above formula. Contributes to issue CURA-3700. |

Cura
This is the new, shiny frontend for Cura. daid/Cura is the old legacy Cura that everyone knows and loves/hates.
We re-worked the whole GUI code at Ultimaker, because the old code started to become a unmaintainable.
Logging Issues
Use this template to report issues. New issues that do not adhere to this template will take us a lot longer to handle and will therefore have a lower pirority.
For crashes and similar issues, please attach the following information:
- (On Windows) The log as produced by dxdiag (start -> run -> dxdiag -> save output)
- The Cura GUI log file, located at
- $User/AppData/Local/cura/cura.log (Windows)
- $User/Library/Application Support/cura (OSX)
- $USER/.local/share/cura (Ubuntu/Linux)
- The Cura Engine log, using Help -> Show Engine Log
Dependencies
- Uranium Cura is built on top of the Uranium framework.
- CuraEngine This will be needed at runtime to perform the actual slicing.
- PySerial Only required for USB printing support.
- python-zeroconf Only required to detect mDNS-enabled printers
Configuring Cura
- Link your CuraEngine backend by inserting the following line in home/.config/cura/config.cfg : [backend] location = /[path_to_the..]/CuraEngine/build/CuraEngine
Build scripts
Please checkout cura-build
Third party plugins
- Print Cost Calculator: Calculates weight and monetary cost of your print.
- Post Processing Plugin: Allows for post-processing scripts to run on g-code.
- Barbarian Plugin: Simple scale tool for imperial to metric.
- X3G Writer: Adds support for exporting X3G files.
- Auto orientation: Calculate the optimal orientation for a model.
- OctoPrint Plugin: Send printjobs directly to OctoPrint and monitor their progress in Cura.
- WirelessPrinting Plugin: Print wirelessly from Cura to your 3D printer connected to an ESP8266 module.
Making profiles for other printers
There are two ways of doing it. You can either use the generator here or you can use this 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
Once you are done, put the profile you have made into resources/definitions, or in definitions in your cura profile folder.
