Hi everyone,

 

My name is Jacob. I'm a relatively new 3d printer engineer, and I have a lot of questions. I have a project that requires me to look into the source code of Cura to figure out how the software imlpements the infill patterns. Specifically, I need to understand how the code implements the infill angle inputs. I don't know exactly how this works, but I've started looking through the source code files and examining where this variable is called.

 

If someone could mentor me or explain to me a little about how the classes work and how the source is implemented, I would be so grateful.

 

Let me know if that sounds good,

Jacob

    If you have any questions, it's best to post them on github. Thats where are the developers hang out.

      • 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.
