Hi,
I have a lab with several different brands of printers: Ultimaker, Lulzbot, Type A, RepRap, and a wide range of user experience levels, from newbie to expert. We want to standardize on the Ultimaker version of Cura as a one-stop shop, but are running into a few issues that I was hoping someone on the forum could help me with.
(1) I want to set up profiles for some printers that aren’t on the base Cura list: Lulzbot Taz5, single and dual head, and then our custom RepRap printer.
(2) I want to set up the profiles (both printer and slicing) for these printers once, then copy the profiles onto each (Windows) computer and have them automatically show up in a printer list for anyone who logs into one of those computers.
(3) My company tightly controls access to the Program Files folder, so it’s tough (but not impossible) for me to edit anything in there.
I looked at the resources/definitions folder and thought I could figure out what was going on, but the changes I made didn’t seem to register when I restarted Cura. Anyone know how to customize this without branching from GitHub? I also tried going into my AppData/Roaming/cura folder and making the changes there, but there also the seemingly logical extrapolations from the existing contents did not yield me anything.
Surely someone out there has done this. Any help on offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Keith
