Part Order Optimization

Generate data file from modified Cura

1. Build Cura from my branch. See developer guide in wiki
2. Load and slice any STL model into Cura.
3. Get the output from /tmp folder:
   • /tmp/parts_by_layers.txt, /tmp/parts_order.txt, /tmp/parts_points_pairs.txt
4. run part viewer from matplotlib: Ricky@imac:~/repo/github/CuraEngine/utils$ ./run_parts_viewer.sh

Data file format

I output three text files related to part order optimization. Here are their data format.

1. Part data file format.
2. Entry point and exit point of part data file format
3. Part optimized order file (order by current sub par algorithm)
