Add Blocks machines to ultimaker cura #11620

jgrilo-blocks · 2022-03-07T11:34:12Z

First definitions of Blocks machines for Ultimaker Cura

Definition files to add Blocks printers

Extruder files for Blocks printers

Mesh files for Blocks printers

Quality setting files for Blocks printers for nozzle and print core variants

Variants files for Blocks printers that include nozzle and print core variants

Ghostkeeper · 2022-03-16T16:03:13Z

Belongs to Ultimaker/fdm_materials#195. They should be merged at the same time.

The tests are currently failing. It fails for a lot of files, but it seems that at least for some of them it's because the SettingVersion is outdated (should be 19 instead of 17). That indicates that you might have tested this in Cura 4.13 instead of in Cura 5.0. Do they work with Arachne?

jgrilo-blocks · 2022-03-16T16:45:07Z

Thanks for the feedback @Ghostkeeper, yes we tested them on Cura 4.13 but they work in Arachne, we will fix the SettingVersion of the files.
Should we do a new pull request after that?

Ghostkeeper · 2022-03-23T09:44:32Z

You can just update the master branch of BlocksTechnology's fork with new commits. Github will automatically update this Pull Request with your latest changes. That's also the easiest for us.

@Ghostkeeper any updates when this branch will be merged?

Apologies for the slow review! I'm trying to get through all the open PR's again.

I've not checked all the settings, but I've found quite a few settings that re-define defaults. This makes it a lot harder to maintain the profile, so it's generally best to adhere to the DRY (Don't repeat yourself) as much as possible.

Furthermore, we also require buildplate meshes to be well below 1mb. Try to exclude any unneeded details like springs / screws.

nallath · 2022-09-15T12:09:49Z

resources/quality/blocks/Nozzle/blocks_global_0.20_standard.inst.cfg

+[values]
+layer_height = 0.1
+layer_height_0 = 0.15
+material_diameter = 1.75


This should not be set in a quality profile. It's already being set by the extruder. THese can (and should) be removed from all of them.

resources/quality/blocks/Nozzle/blocks_global_0.20_standard.inst.cfg

+
+[metadata]

setting version is 20 now (not a big deal if you don't fix it, but it will make the tests fail right now)

Why not just define the maximum value_warning in the base file? THey seem to be the same for all machines.

It's the same for all printers. So why not just put it in the base file?

@nallath changes were made and machines added. Thank you so much for the help

braga-dev · 2022-11-05T15:30:17Z

@nallath any chance to review the printer and quality profiles? thank you

jellespijker · 2022-11-29T19:18:45Z

Can you sync your fork, with our main. We have added a printer-linter tool for our printer definitions and profiles. This should help us with processing our PR's. It performs some standard diagnostic checks and apply auto-formatting on the changed files in this PR, but you can also run it locally. See https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/tree/main/printer-linter

If it finds issues for which it knows a fix it should post a comment with that suggested fix such that you can easily commit that fix if you're okay with it.
But please use commonsense with the suggestions because the tool is still in the early stages of development.

braga-dev · 2022-12-19T21:52:58Z

@jellespijker how are you? is it possible to approve the workflow to check if there is more diagnostics with printer-liner? thank you

@jellespijker just updated with the last commits! Let's hope its the final one :D

Improves readability

Contributes to CURA-10101

The settings: - travel_compensate_overlapping_walls_0_enabled - fill_perimeter_gaps - filter_out_tiny_gaps Are no longer used with the new Arachne engine. That these settings were still set in the blocks_base definition is an indication that the current profiles weren't actually tested with the new Arachne engine. Please consider doing some actual quality tests with these profiles on your printers. This is for the benefit of your users experience. Contributes to CURA-10101

Still multiple issues and failing Unit Tests so I can't press merge :-(

To help you guys out a bit I made a PR against your fork. See BlocksTechnology#1

If you agree with these suggested changes feel free to merge it on your fork, this should also update this PR.

I will convert this PR to a WIP PR. You can convert it back once it is ready to be reviewed again.

jellespijker · 2023-01-06T09:28:15Z

@braga-dev and @jgrilo-blocks Do you guys need additional help with this PR? Or is merging my PR on your fork enough? BlocksTechnology#1

It would be nice if we can add your printers in Cura 5.3.0

Blockstech

braga-dev · 2023-01-06T18:30:54Z

hello @jellespijker sorry for the delay. We just fixed the last issue so its all probably fine. We already tested these print profiles in Cura 5 and they are working fine so there won't be a problem.

For future updates, its going to be easier/faster than the first ones right?

jellespijker · 2023-01-06T18:41:41Z

Don't worry. The main delay was originally on our side. We are finally catching up.

Yes, updates and new printers should now be processed way faster due to our improved workflow.

I will take a look at the fixes first thing o Monday. Good to hear that they have been tested on Cura 5.x.

If all goes well, these printers should be available in Cura 5.3

jellespijker · 2023-01-06T18:43:09Z

just mark it ready for review when you're finished so we know that we can review it.

braga-dev · 2023-01-06T18:51:38Z

Hello @jellespijker perfect. Great to hear that. I don't have write access so I can't make it ready for review.

jellespijker

LGTM;

Two minor fixes which I will quickly fix myself when I merge it.
Congrats guys, your printers should be available in Cura 5.3
