It is far more likely a bug in the tutorial.
I have not checked the entire thing, but the first thing that strikes me is that they seem to be using Cura 3.6 and not telling you. Profiles have a way of saying what version of Cura they are for. The "setting_version" needs to match whatever the setting version is in the other profiles that come with the version of Cura you are running. For Cura 4.8, that setting_version needs to be 16, not 12.
Does setting_version needs to be in the "quality" config files only ?
Should the "version" variables from the definition, extruder, variants should also match "16" ?
So I tried redoing it with "setting_version" set at "16" in the quality file with the exact same result. Cura opens and randomly apply a quality from the generic ones and doesn't show any other qualities from rather the generic or the custom ones... So close yet so far... I can't figure it....
Definition:
{
"name": "seckit_skgo",
"version": 2,
"inherits": "fdmprinter",
"metadata": {
"visible": true,

}
extruder:
{
"version": 2,
"name": "Extruder 1",
"inherits": "fdmextruder",
"metadata": {
"machine": "seckit_skgo",
"position": "0"
}
}
variant :
[general]
name = 0.4mm Nozzle
version = 4
definition = seckit_skgo
[metadata]
setting_version = 16
type = variant
hardware_type = nozzle
[values]
machine_nozzle_size = 0.4
quality:
[general]
version = 4
name = Low Quality
definition = seckit_skgo
[metadata]
setting_version = 16
type = quality
quality_type = low
material = generic_pla
variant = 0.4mm Nozzle
[values]
machine_nozzle_size = 0.4
Sorry to bring it back up but nobody can help me ? I'm still searching here 🙂
