Hi guys,

I'd like to use Cura with my custom printer but I can't find where to change the bed dimensions.

Could you help me?

Thanks

Giacomo

    On the new Cura you want to create a json file for your custom printer.

    See:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Cura_15.06.00\resources\settings

    For examples. Most likely you want to base yours of the UltimakerOriginal file.

    That depends how your head looks. The machine head shape is a polygon (points are set in sequence) where 0,0 is the main nozzle.

    The head shape isn't that important, but the head shape with fans is when you're trying to print one at a time.

        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
