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 (Windows) $User/AppData/Local/cura/cura.log, (OSX) $User/.cura/cura.log
* The Cura Engine log, using Help -> Show Engine Log
Dependencies
------------
* [Uranium](https://github.com/Ultimaker/Uranium)
Cura is built on top of the Uranium framework.
* [CuraEngine](https://github.com/Ultimaker/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](https://github.com/Ultimaker/cura-build)
Third party plugins
-------------
[Print time calculator](https://github.com/nallath/PrintCostCalculator)
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/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
Once you are done, put the profile you have made into resources/settings.
