CURA 2.4 and Post processing plugins issue

[Spilz 0]

hello,

I wrote a post processing plugin for autolevel.

It works well on CURA 2.1.3, but it's not recognized by CURA 2.4

Is there something to do to add Post processing plugin in CURA 2.4 ?

I just put the .py file in plugin file, as usual, and restart CURA

thanks for your help

Post the plugin somewhere, and somebody may be able to help.

thanks for your reply,

I don't know where I can put it, do you have a suggestion ?

Unless its really large, you can post it inside a message here using the 'code' tags from the menu >

the plugin is to determine the area used by the first layer to optimize auto-leveling

I never learn python, so I took exemple from other plugins.

it searches min and max X Y position of G1 command and replace a specific string of the start gcode by the optimized G29 L R F B command

It works well on my MAC with CURA 2.1.3

but not on my Win10 with CURA 2.4 : the list of post processing plugin show only one plugin when I had the file (normally it shows 4)

an other issue/question :

is it normal than even on CURA 2.1.3 the post processing is not saved when I reopen CURA ?

Hello,

could you tell me how I could add a python script to cura 2.4 on a Mac.

I tried to place it in the plugins folder under the cura folder, but won't work.

It's a python script with works under windows.

Thank you for your feedback.

Regards

Ralf

The API has changed between 2.1 and 2.3 - look at existing plugins to see what's changed (getSettingData vs getSettingDataString)

Yes, it is "by design"

If you are talking about the PostProcessing scripts, on OSX they are in Cura.app/Contents/Resources/plugins/plugins/PostProcessingPlugin/scripts/

Where could I find this folder?

Where could I find this folder?

 

At the place you installed Cura...

So for most people it would be: /Applications/Cura.app/Contents/Resources/plugins/plugins/PostProcessingPlugin/scripts/ (unless you installed it somewhere else)

... and where will Cura 2.4 be installed when installed(?) or run from Cura-2.4.0.AppImage-Install (the new Linux installer)?

I see no reason why it should be different in 2.4...

But I can't answer that formally, my personal experience tells me it is not always a good idea to be early adopter of new Cura releases, so I am still with 2.3 for now
