  1. @nallath just to make sure I understood. Your 1st suggestion is to develop a plugin that do what I want, and your 2nd suggestion is to run Cura Engine (https://github.com/Ultimaker/CuraEngine), is that right? If so, your 2nd suggestion sounds very good, I think I'll follow that one, though I'll be probably using Python as coding language either way. @GregValiant I think you just solved my next problem, thank you!! Once I have the gcode files I'll certainly do that!
  2. Hello everyone, I'm working on a concept of crowdsourced fabrication using 3D printers. Something similar to Makexyz for example, but not quite the same. Right now I want to upload a .stl file and allow the users to choose something basic, like layer height, and export the printing time. This part is ok because I can get the printing time from gcode (as long as I tell Cura what is the printer that I'm using so it can create the gcode). However, supposing I have many different 3D printers available, I would like to have the printing time for all the printers, which means I probably need the gcode file for all the printers, even though in the end I'll only use one of them, but I need this data to make some assignment decisions. Then there might also exist some compatibility problems between the layer height chosen and the printers available, but for now I'm ignoring that. I was wondering if it is possible to use Cura from source code and run it in "loop" for the many different printers, so I can store the printing time data in a dataframe or something like that. Or if there is any easier way to do it. Does anyone have any idea? Thanks in advance!
