UPDATE: Windows versions runs fine using wine.
The rode so far...
To upload marlin firmware you only need the latest arduino program, as usual Linux has the drivers. Pronterface can be installed in Linux, find in the github page the second title saying "Ubuntu/Debian" and follow those steps; To run the program do it with "python3 pronterface.py" in the source folder. I'm about to start the first print tutorial but I got some limitations.
Adeel, at some moment you mention that simplify 3D profiles will be available so I'm making this thread asking for them and to discuss any problems or solutions that people have encounter using Linux.
What are this profiles? Since Cura is available in Linux I'm wondering how could we make it work with your settings?
New Cura should be out by the end of the month, it will be built on top of the regular Ultimaker Cura so should work fine with Linux and the latest MacOS.
Hi guys, any update on getting the Proforge 2S profile to the original CURA to have a more updated software? Thanks
https://github.com/snatella/makertech-cura-linux is available now with a release of Ultimaker Cura 3.6.0 for Linux with the Makertech Cura 3.6.2 resources.
Ultimaker Cura on Linux is either AppImage or Docker based (new with 4.X I believe). The Docker setup is more complex, so for now I'm repacking the AppImage. As it stands the Makertech Cura 3.6.2 resources don't work with Cura 4.X so the repacker I've made is sufficient _at this time_.
Great! no worries, glad to have you back.
@Adrián Chacón Ordóñez @Molotov Apologies for not being active on the forum guys, it's been a very busy past couple of weeks (we're working on a new project that should be released very soon).
Thanks for letting me know about the MAC link for CURA - it's been updated now.
As for the modifications to CURA feel free to use/edit anything you like (including our logo/artwork), it's all opensource. Everything that's integral should be in the resources folder.
Simplify3D profiles are on our to do list - just very busy at the moment!!
In the meantime you should be able to setup Simplify3D with the build volume (20x30x30cm for single and 20x30x25 for DSE) and default print values, the DSE doesn't need any special gcode from the slicer (switching is handled by firmware). It's just the nozzle offsets for tuning - but these will be unique for everyone.
So we don't have a word, then we should proceed and ask for forgiveness after!
There should be no problem as they are only configurations of cura, the rights are of cura, as long as we keep the makertech and Proforge name but declaring that it is not yours. The only part that could a conflict will be the images but you said you will not include that, as they aren't necessary. I don't know if there is a separate configuration for the printer and for the materials used.
@Molotov can your contact help us with this? getting this to be an official configuration? or giving us some light about the changes made to cura so we can apply this to newer version of Cura or even other softwares. Getting a PR will be the best for the future.
Thats great Molotov!!! Lets wait for @Makertech word.
