Re: Cura + ThreeDubber on daVinci Jr
If you use Cura regularly, check out my port of ThreeDubber. It's command-line only (no fancy GUI at the moment) but gets the job done. I just added support for setting the total_filament value from Cura headers to get a real print time estimate on the Jr's LCD.
AND my script will convert those pesky G0 codes into G1s at the same it it makes a .3w from your .gcode file.

To install on Windows:
- Download and install Python 2.7 from Python.org
- Download and install py-crypto
- Download and unpack the source from gitlab
- Assuming you now have Python on your path, go into the source directory and run:
- python setup.py install
- run 'threedub model.gcode' to convert it to .3wSame basic procedure on Linux except you might already have Python. Don't forget py-crypto.
I have compiled the ThreeDubber source file to change "G0" to "G1" and add header information. It will use the estimated time from the Cura gcode as time, but I could not figure out how to get the usage from Cura so that is still being set to 1. Hopefully this will make things a little easier for Windows users.
