Cura configuration for XTLW 6 and XTLW 3

This project contains the configuration files for the XTLW 6 IDEX and XTLW 3 3D printers for Cura 4.4.

The original files were provided by XTLW for Cura 3.6 and updated by me for the current Cura version 4.4

If the configuration is not working, a configuration is missing or something is wrong -> please open a issue and add as many information and the error or warning messages from the Cura logfile.

Feel free to contribute and add merge requests :-)

Add configuration files to Cura

1. Open Cura and click Help -> Show Configuration Folder
   
2. Copy the following folders from configuration/ to the Cura configuration folder
   • definitions
   • extruders
   • meshes
   • quality
   • variants
3. Restart Cura
4. Add printer by clicking Settings -> Printer -> Add Printer...
   
5. Expand Add a non-network printer, scroll down to XLTW3D and choose your printer.
   For the XLTW 6 there are one seperate printer for normal mode (both extruders available in Cura) and one for duplication mode (only one extruder available in Cura). This allows differnt configurations and bed sizes for different IDEX modes.
   
6. After the printer(s) added, you can use the predefined settings for extruders and qualitys
7. XTLW recommends to choose a PVA nozzel for printing PVA material
   

Generate a new configuration set

This is not neccessary for the normal usage of the settings!

A new configuration can be generated by executing the quality_varaint_generator.py Python script from the generators directory. The generator overrides the files in the configuration/quality directory.

The generator requires >= Python 3.8
