How to Add a Post Processing Script (.PY) in the Cura folder?

[Ltek 0]

I found a PY for the SmartTempTower I want into include the Cura folder for reuse

 

no matter what I try Cura doesnt see it

 

instructions I found for WINDOWS....

Copy PY file to 'C:\USERS\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\cura\scripts'  ... then Restart Cura.

 

*** I'm assuming they meant \cura\<version number>\scripts ... I tried both v5 and v4.13 but they do not "see" the script

 

 

@cura please include a simple 'upload' capability in the app!

Please post a link to your Cura.log, which can also be found in the configuration folder.

 

Tip: the proper configuration folder can be found via Help -> Show configuration folder. There's a "scripts" folder inside the configuration folder.

The postprocessing script must be named "TempTower.py", or you must change the class name inside the file to match the file name.

thank you!  Cura really needs an Import function to noobie-proof the great contributions that do not get 'published' in the Cura Marketplace.

That would not have helped in this case. You placed the file in the correct location, so you did the "import" part correctly.

 

A (community-moderated?) Marketplace for postprocessing scripts could be interesting though.

That might force me to learn to work with Python.  I'm still struggling with Fortran IV.

The worldwide shortage of punch cards isn't helping.
