Instructions

 

- Copy the text (except the instructions at the beginning) of this log file and paste it at the end of your EndG-code in the Machine Settings window of your printer
- After that all your GCode files will have at the end a complete list of your current settings for each print

 

here a picture of a few lines of the result

Very useful if you want to compare settings with someone else

Also if you are analysing results vs settings, just put them in a spreadsheet to focus on the changing parameters very easily

 

Notice there is a slight hierarchical tab to see the 'children' parameters (depending from a 'parent' one)

 

Enjoy !!

Good solution to a complex problem. I have tried numerous times to capture profile data so I could compare the changes I made while experimenting with new settings. CURA saves fragments of profiles in numerous files and folders making this frustratingly difficult!

 

Once the settings are captured in a specific order, I open two profiles to compare in notebook++ and use the compare extension to find the changes.

    To get the txt file, I opened the fdmprinter.def.json file (it is in the definitions folder of the Cura folder- for me in windows7 in C:\Program Files\Ultimaker Cura 4.3\resources\definitions) with PSPad and with a lot of search and replace I did the trick !!!

     

    To have a more convinient way it would be nice to build a Python script to do this in a lot easier way

    I have made a python script to get the updated information !

     

    - After de-zipping, put the file in a folder linked to cura (myself in windows 7 and Cura 4.3 I put it in C:\Users\Proprio\AppData\Local\cura  (proprio is the username) )

    - At the begining of the file modify the CuraProgramFolder variable to the correct path for your own system and save it

    - click on the file to launch it and you get  in the same folder of the script a file named TxtToCopyInStartOrEndGCode.txt and the content appear in a window (at least on the windows7 system I have)

    - You can select the whole content and paste it either in the startGcode or the endGCode in the Cura App (Settings>>Printer>>manage printers then click on the machine settings button>> the window with start and end GCode)

     

    After that, the Gcode will content all the settings value used for each slicing

    Here is a new version of the python script, with indentation  (there is a slight hierarchical tab to see the 'children' parameters - depending from a 'parent' one) and a picture of the begining of the resulting file

    Sorry, I hadn't had the time to look into it myself yet.

    It's amazing, thank you!

    Thanks a lot, very useful.

    Do you think it would be possible to make another script to extract only the settings from Gcode, with txt, csv or xls format ?

    Not a script, but I've written a stand alone .exe that reads the Gcode and saves it out as a text file.

    You can also use this Plug-IN to add the possibility to save your settings under the HTML format via the function SAVE of Cura : https://github.com/johnnygizmo/CuraSettingsWriter

    @Cuq or @JCD,

     

    This plug-in and script are wonderful. However, they only capture the settings for a single extruder. I have a Ultimaker S5 with dual extruders. Is there a way to capture the settings for both extruders?

    @Cuq - thanks for mentioning this, it's just what I was looking for! However, it's not working for me. I'm new to all of this, so maybe I did something wrong. I downloaded the files. Made sure to unblock them (Windows 10) and then extracted all the files. Renamed the folder to "CuraSettingsWriter" and then copied the folder to "C:\Program Files\Ultimaker Cura 4.6\plugins". I restarted Cura, and when I choose "Save to File" I don't have the "Cura Settings Documentation (*.html)" option. Thoughts, or can you point me to where I might be able to get some help? Much appreciated!

    This version was made two years ago , so some modification must be made to be reconized by the current release of cura.  I recommand to switch to my fork https://github.com/5axes/CuraSettingsWriter

    you will find a curapackage ready to install (Just download it and drag and drop into your cura windows) https://github.com/5axes/CuraSettingsWriter/blob/master/Package/HTMLCuraSettings-v7.0.0-2020-06-12T16_31_19Z.curapackage

    When I install the plugin and restart Cura there is no 'Save to' choice under file. So no way to export the settings.

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        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.
