Cura 4.7 couldn't add the script inside plugins folder or script folder

[shinzuriki 0]

Hello guys,
Nice to meet you!

I had a problem, when I tried to add this customize timelapse, and restart CURA

I couldn't find the script I put inside.

https://gist.github.com/simonjamain/beeca3f692b087e0e27712971aa0842b

Anyone can teach me how to install (copy and paste) the script inside CURA v4.7?

thank you

The file needs to be put inside the scripts folder, not the plugins folder, nor the script folder.

I already put it inside this folder
but nothing changes
C:\Program Files\Ultimaker Cura 4.7\plugins\PostProcessingPlugin\scripts

Can you tell me which folder is supposed to be?

Cura loads post-processing scripts from both places on startup. The scripts folder in the configuration (as described on the GitHub page) is intended to be used for those custom scripts (AFAIK).

If the python script doesn't show up you will probably find the reason (or error messages) in the file "cura.log". Cura reports a lot of stuff there, just search for the file name of the python script.

thank you for your reply

I still new for this kind of issue.
However, from where I can learn that to measure this issue?
Can you tell me the link or something?

Now you're talking about programming in Python and/or interpretation of error messages you get?

At first i would ask the author of the original Python script. Did you made any changes or just "download and copy file"?

Oh - and don't use "copy and paste". Here is an easy way to download the file from the gist page:

• click on the "Raw" button
• choose "Save page as..." in your browser (shortcut "CTRL+S" in Firefox and Chrome)
• copy the file into the "scripts" folder (steps 1 to 5 from the linked page)

I made a test right now. Worked flawlessly.
