If you are developing on Windows, the easiest way to get started is to just use the normal Cura and create your plugins in your configuration folder (see Help -> Show configuration folder). Start with a plugin that is somewhat in the general direction of what you want to do and learn from its code. There's documentation here, and some example plugins here.
As I understand it, I should just create the plugin folder with __init__.py, main .py file and a json file and paste it to the Cura 'plugins' folder? Shouldn't I somehow 'build' it (I read about curapackage / curaplugin files)?
My main goal is to update a plugin made by someone else in the past, ScalableExtraPrime, for the current Cura version.
I'm excited because I've personally produced this showcase event, so if you are curious what else I'm up to nowadays, come check it out and say hi in the chat! It would mean a lot!
Often getting started is the most difficult part of any process. A good start sets you up for success and saves you time and energy that could be spent elsewhere. That is why we have a onboarding course ready for

They're ready for you on the Ultimaker Academy platform. All you need to do to gain access is to register your product to gain free access.
