Cura 4.11 on linux

[tvanderbilt11706 0]

I was wondering if someone could please help me out with an issue i'm having.  I am running Cura 4.11 on Arch Linux and I am trying to setup my Prusa printer with it.  I downloaded the profiles from Prusa and followed the instructions for the first three things, which is the following:

 

1.  Copy the .json file from the Cura_printer_definition folder to the definitions folder in linux.  I placed that file under ~/.local/share/cura/4.1`1/definitions

2.  Copy the .json file from the Cura_printer_extruder folder to the extruder folder in linux.  I placed that file under ~/.local/share/cura/4.11/extruders

3.  Copy the .stl file from the Cura_meshes folder to the meshes folder in linux.  I placed that file under ~/.local/share/cura/4.11/meshes (I had to create the 'meshes' directory since it did not exist)

 

At this point you now go in and add the printer but I do not see the "Original Prusa i3 MK3/MK3S" under "Prusa Research".  All I see is the Prusa3D that comes with Cura.  I saw somewhere else that you have to place those folders under ~/.config/cura/4.11/resources but that did not work for me either.

 

Could someone please help me with getting this configured properly?

 

Thanks,

 

Van

Uh, that should do the trick. DO you have some log files?

Thank you for the reply @nallath.  Which folder should do it, the .local or the .config?  Do you want to see the cura.log file that is in "~/.local/share/cura/4.11/" cause I do not see any other activity in the log since 10/7/21 that would indicate an issue with the program or profiles but I can paste it in here.

 

Thanks.

~/.local/share/cura/4.11/ should do the trick.

You can also try installing the god-mode plugin (https://github.com/sedwards2009/cura-god-mode-plugin) as it provides some extra debugging info into what is loaded and what isn't
