  1. I see it, thank you very much. 

     

    I poked around and it doesn't seem to follow the same resources\meshes structure, how do I go about pointing my settings to display my platform mesh?

     

    Thanks again. 

     

    Edit: I've managed to create a working def.json under resources/definition and got my platform mesh working. Still curious if it's possible to do it with a custom printer profile. Thanks!

  2. So one of my favorite Cura feature is User Specified Z Seam Alignment feature, however it is a pain to use because you basically have to count the grid lines to find your X/Y coordinates.

    To help find these coordinates easier, I realized I could simply modify my printer's (Taz 6) platform mesh STL found under resources/meshes to have integrated labels, which works very well. 

     

    Now I want to use some of the new features in newest Cura 4.3 with my Taz 6 because Lulzbot Edition Cura is still stuck in 3.6. For some reason Lulzbot printers are not pre-defined under Add a Printer menu in 4.3, so I had to add one as Custom printer.

     

    As far as I can tell, Cura does not generate a def.json file under resources/definition when a printer is added as a custom printer. How do I go about adding a custom platform mesh to this "custom" printer within Cura?

  3. As someone who absolutely loves user specified Z seam alighment feature in Cura 3, it is a pain to count grid lines manually to figure out the exact coordinates of where I'd want each model's seam to be. 

     

    It would be a huge time saver if Cura has the ability to click anywhere on bed platform and display coordinates for faster manual input, or even change the Z seam X/Y input fields (both global and per model settings) to a clickable button for user to click anywhere on the print area. 

     

    Would prefer to have this feature be independent from Cura itself as I use Lulzbot's edition and it take some time for that version to catch up, I lack the know-how to create such a plug-in but would really appreciate it if anyone is willing to tackle this feature.

     

    Thanks!
