Mark Walker 4a3db419ec Add back placeholder expansion for start/end gcode
See issue Ultimaker/CuraEngine#240

The intent of this change it to allow token replacement in start/end
gcode similar to the old Cura. Tokens are of the form
{material_bed_temperature} where the name is any setting name that is
passed to the engine.

Control the backend's generation of temperature commands via new
settings material_bed_temp_prepend and material_print_temp_prepend based
on whether there are temperature tokens in the printer profile's start
gcode.

This change will generate the same temperature gcode as FffGcodeWriter
at the head, if none of the temperature tokens are present in the
machine profile. Otherwise, they're suppressed via the prepend settings.

Also, set fdmprinter.json so that all that inherit from it default to
having the gcode temperature prepend also wait for temperature. Profiles
can override these settings: material_bed_temp_wait and
material_print_temp_wait

This PR intends to change both Cura and CuraEngine.  However, it is safe
to sequence with the Cura change first which will do token replacement
(if present), but will fail to supress the temperature prepends.

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 (Windows) $User/AppData/Local/cura/cura.log, (OSX) $User/.cura/cura.log, (Ubuntu) $USER/.local/share/cura
  • 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

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/settings.
