3D printer / slicing GUI built on top of the Uranium framework
d8555fe57d
* 'master' of github.com:ultimaker/Cura: (38 commits) Fixed profile file case-sensitivity. Fix UMO Checkup button size Remove debug statement and commented-out code CURA-1385 Show "ready" state when a printer is connected but jobstate is not yet set Added deepcopy function Made exception handling of slice info plugin way more robust Restart timer after slicing is performed when not enabled. Update GUID for PLA to match the GUID in the official repository Set default extruder index to -1 (so global is default) Ensure that the display matches with the backend active extruder data Update UM2 Extended build volume height to value published in marketing materials Fixed firmware upgrade for um2+ Capitalise setting label CHeckup action now correctly resets every time you start it Remove unused name/id when importing a profile from a gcode file Just a little typo BQ Hephestos2: Heat up nozzle while leveling Saving g-code no longer crashes Removed update firmware from extensions; This is now handled by machine actions Changing active extruder no longer trigger re-slice ... |

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.
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 time calculator
- Post processing plugin
- Barbarian Plugin Simple scale tool for imperial to metric.
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/machines, or in machines in your cura profile folder.
