  1. Hey @drayson, thank you for your PM! Noticed that the values are not even in millimeters, too. That fears me a bit, because it could mean that there is another unit, where it becomes even, but I can't imagine that the function to change these settings in the SWX API expects anything else than millimeters or inches. One of these units would be typical for most of the cases and millimeters itself just scientifically (international seen) correct. However, will apply your values to the dialog now. I also began to make changes on the other windows as well, so less code is needed. But ended up in a strange bug I don't understand. Did someone already try the 0.6.0 so far?
  2. Hello everybody, I'm wondering for a while whether accelerating Cura via OpenCL wouldn't be useful to slice large and complex models. Personally, I know to less about what is going on in the CuraEngine for example, but are there many tasks even, which could be calculated in parallel? What do you think and know?
  3. @XYZDesignPro, no, this is not what I mean. Do you remember your previous post? This is what I need, but with millimeters as the unit. See: So, to change that, I think you will need to change the unit from inches to mm in Inventor's application settings. Then I expect that the minimum and maximum values of this setting will appear in mm here, too. Otherwise, let's wait until someone helps out with that ? PS: Testing version: 0.6.0 https://thopiekar.eu/download/_dev/CuraSolidWorksPlugin-v5-2018-11-03T18_16_34Z.curapackage https://thopiekar.eu/download/_dev/CuraSolidWorksPlugin-v4-2018-11-03T18_16_34Z.curapackage
  4. Ok, done for today. This is the current UI design and I think it won't change much. Just need to fill in the correct values for the deviation (tessellation). @XYZDesignPro Converted your values from the past from inch into mm, but I expected a round number. Is it a bit deal for you to twitch to mm and see what the window gives then? Thanks!
  5. Thanks. Was a great time and also a great new (and first) experience to be at a client. Also took some time to see cities nearby. So yeah, was fun ? There are no real improvements, but that I cared about getting it working on all Cura versions. So the plugin checks itself on which version it is running and applies then certain code depending on the Cura version. That's why it works on 3.4 and 3.5. Since I didn't make any other major changes, it should work even downwards until 2.x, but no guarantees. So actually more changed for the OpenSource applications (FreeCAD, OpenSCAD and Blender). Added more algorithms there to find the installation of these applications. Had to touch also some code which is used in SolidWorks and Inventor. Therefore I asked before releasing the plugin in the Toolbox some people for testing or, as @drayson did, people asked me whether they could help out with testing ? So, yes, sadly no new features, since I was too limited in time ?
  6. Beautiful. Will push this one for a review by Ultimaker then. Thanks!
  7. Well, looked into the log and I'm pretty sure I corrected the plugin API number yesterday. However, looked into the package again and it mentions the value 4, but should be 5, which I'm pretty sure I set. However, trying it again. No idea how it happened.
  8. Oh, ok. Thought it is completely crashing on your computer. Please follow: Hint: You can find the configuration directory via Cura itself:
  9. Hmm, in my case the plugin is up and running. Can you please do the following: * Go into the configuration directory of Cura and remove there the cura.log file, while Cura is closed. * Retry * Close Cura * Upload the log here. Thanks!
  10. So, together with @drayson I made bugfixes to the plugin and it should work now on 3.4 and 3.5 again. I rolled out the new release to Ultimaker to distribute it, but it needs a review still. If you like to test it, too, then you can download it from: https://thopiekar.eu:46380/fsdownload/bTfeZHRr7/SolidWorks Pick the v5 package for Cura 3.5 and v4 for any earlier versions. Thanks!
  11. Found something I missed to change. It was something really minor, but, yeah, that made the difference. The SolidWorks plugin was more challenging. You will find the new testing release in the previous URL and please let me know whether it runs. So, if it does, I can push it out for all of you into the Toolbox. Thanks!
  12. Sorry to hear this guys. Looked at the code as I landed in the Netherlands. I see no reason why it shouldn't be registered. Will look into it soon closely. Thank you for testing!
  13. New testing version 0.2.3 backed at Detroit's airport. The testing version can be downloaded for testing at this location: * https://thopiekar.eu:46380//sharing/mEcHF2wHz Please test and give at least a short feedback about how it works or whether at all. Thanks and enjoy!
  14. I know. Often I just have a minimum of time, so I have to set priorities very tight and skip mirroring the sources to GitHub.
  15. That's correct. I'm currently on a business trip and couldn't find time. By next week I'm back home in Germany where I will have a bit more than a week of leave because of the overhours of the whole trip. Please keep in mind that this plugin is community supported and free software. Thanks!
  16. Sure, I can. Because of my job, I'm in Canada and doing recently many overhours. By next week I'm back home in Germany where I will have a bit more than a week of leave because of the overhours of the whole trip. Please keep in mind that this plugin is community supported and free software. Thanks!
  17. Good work! If you have a Github account already, go to https://github.com/thopiekar/CuraOpenSCADPlugin and fork the code there. Then commit all your changes to your repository and create a PR. If you need any further assistance or help, feel free to ask. You can also write a PM everytime you want! Will drop there the latest code now. Good luck, @rmi !
  18. Hey! I've updated the FreeCAD plugin and added more algorithms to determine where the FreeCAD installation is. Especially Windows 10 users will profit from it since these conventions are new since then. Version 0.2.1 should appear in Cura 3.5 BETA, but also in prior versions if I'm not wrong. Your feedback is as usual welcome!
  19. So the parsers are able to extract these comments? Or do we always need to go through these? In that case we will need to introduce an new file format. Is the dialog displayed by OpenSCAD or Cura (PyQT)? About the third point I can't follow that much. Do you mean imports inside your SCAD file? Or something related to Cura? Well, all in all it sounds really interesting. Moreover your plans are aiming to find a way around OpenSCAD's limitation of only being able to export one mesh. Actually I'm glad to hear that my published sources helped you somehow so far. It is a prove that it is helpful for other people to get things done. Additionally, it brings up new projects up like yours. Generally I don't see a problem. If you manage to get with your python scripts your OpenSCAD file detected, parsed and multiple generated OpenSCAD scripts exported, then we are good to go. It won't be difficult at all anymore to save the scripts into temporary files and push them through OpenSCAD to generate STLs. Finally, we could simply create a group of meshes or something like that. Just like it is done by the 3MF reader. Is your current work online somewhere already? GitHub maybe?
  20. Haha, thanks! Well, what you see is what you get right? ?
  21. Hey guys, excuse the late response. If I don't get it wrong you want to get settings out of Cura and insert it into a SCAD file? Kind of like what can be done by Customizer @ Thingiverse? Well, that sounds doable! I mean the first prove of concept could be using placeholders and then replace them with settings. I think this is not a big deal. More interesting would be to be able to parse the Customizer syntax and generate resulting files from there. Finally, more ideally would be to generate a dialog from the parsed out parameters. However, back to the topic... @rmi , if you have some code lying around, feel free to recycle your code and contribute to the plugin I already have. All you need to care about is how to get the settings (which someone else or I can help with) and how to modify the file. The rest is properly done by the plugins I have. At least, they are going to do this. Just finished to update my packaging script for Cura 3.5, so I should be able to roll out updates faster. @ahoeben, oh, thank you for the mention!
  22. Hey Chris! Sorry for the delay. I'm on a project in the US currently, which means working hours of 10h and max 15h per day. Anyway, I continued preparing a tool I wrote in the past to create Cura plugin files, so I could distribute the code. I began to implement the new format yesterday, but if you like and I think you are using Cura <= 3.4, then I can send you a .curaplugin file for testing. But this will be an unreleased version and therefore don't want to give any guarantees on that. What do you think? Regards - Thomas
  23. Great, thanks! Would you mind if the value was in mm? At least of the first version, where this feature is included?
  24. I meant what the min and max values are when using the slider (right to left). By slider I mean this widget: Then I would know which min and max values I need to adopt for the plugin, where I would clone this slider into. ?
