Cura
|
|
====
|
|
|
|
This is the new, shiny frontend for Cura. [daid/Cura](https://github.com/daid/Cura.git) 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](https://github.com/Ultimaker/Uranium/wiki/Bug-Reporting-Template) 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
|
|
|
|

Making profiles for other printers
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
There are two ways of doing it. You can either use the generator [here](http://quillford.github.io/CuraProfileMaker/) or you can use [this](https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/blob/master/resources/machines/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
|
|
|
|
Once you are done, put the profile you have made into resources/machines, or in machines in your cura profile folder.
