Cura software interface customise

Hello,

I am trying to find a way to customise the cura GUI interface, so upon boot up it is only set to a certain profile.

Is there a way to repackage cura to do this?

I am trying to make this customised version of cura so users cannot change from the default print settings (speed, infill, resolution etc).

I understand the interface is written in Python, can anyone point me in the right direction to make these modifications?

Thanks

    Check the code on github. If you're somewhat proficient with Python (or any coding language for that matter), it should be pretty self explanatory. If you're not proficient with coding, no amount of pointers from our end will help you ;)

    Thanks for your reply

    I have actually found what im looking for in the GUI Python files, it doesn't look too difficult.

    However i can't find where the python files that defines the basic and advanced tabs.

    I can see the section within the file mainWindow.py

    (left, right, self.printPanel) = self.CreateDynamicConfigTab(self.nb, _('Basic'))

    self._addSettingsToPanels('basic', left, right)

    self.SizeLabelWidths(left, right)

     

    (left, right, self.advancedPanel) = self.CreateDynamicConfigTab(self.nb, _('Advanced'))

    self._addSettingsToPanels('advanced', left, right)

    self.SizeLabelWidths(left, right)

     

    Looking at the function "addSettingsToPanels" doesn't lead to anywhere either.

      • 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.
