Actually you don't need this platform definition in order for your printer to work of course. This is just a graphical presentation of the platform of the Mankati in Cura, so that you will see the 3D shape of the actual platform instead of just a ground plane grid.. It's just cosmetic. nothing more. I wish you all the best configuring your printer! Huib.

If I am not mistaken, how many heads a 3D printer has can be defined in the user interface of Cura. You don't need any programming for this. This should be possible when inputting the parameters of a new printer.

For those who are interested, I have added the Mankati Full Scale XT Plus printer to the list of printers in Cura 2. It includes the 3D platform definition (STL) that enables the 3D presentation of the build platform of the Mankati printer in the Cura 2 graphics window as well as the object definition file (.json) that will have the Mankati printer show up in the list of printers in Cura 2. For more info and how-to's see this http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1643782 thing in thingiverse. Have fun! Huib.
