klipper-preprocessor not working with Smart Avionics Cura Master Branch

[PhilBaz]

What happened

The script does not appear to have any effect when used with smart avionics fork of Cura. I tend to prefer his fork for its rock solid reliability and extra features.

https://github.com/smartavionics/Cura

What did you expect to happen

For the script to work as in Cura 5.2/3.

How to reproduce

Configure script and slice.

Additional information

Ill make a corresponding report at his git.

Thanks Pedro.

Can you please upload a sample gcode file sliced on this slicer so I can look and see what is going on?

I'm happy to fix this if it is a simple change that doesn't conflict with mainstream Cura, but I'm not very inclined to support unknown Cura forks as these can diverge a lot from what Cura provides.

@pedrolamas

Fair enough. Smart Avionics fork is a fairly significant fork. He is a very active developer and very responsive to community feedback with issues. I would imagine his fork is the most actively used of any. He has developed many features that are excellent, his version is also totally rock solid compared to the UM 5 version.

I've included an Image of the settings and a sliced file.

Well, Layer info comments are definitely on the file, so the problem is something else!

I recommend you take a look at cura.log (Help -> Show Configuration Folder, and search for cura.log) and see if there is any error related to klipper-preprocessor.

Feel free to upload the log if you want me to take a look to!

I searched for ' klipper-preprocessor', but didn't get a hit. I'm not sure what else to look for. I attached the log.

Thanks Pedro.

This is the most recent entry on the log for scrips loading:

There is no indication there that KlipperPreprocessor was loaded (in fact, no reference anywhere on the log when I search for "KlipperPreprocessor")

cura.log.1 is rolled log, you should also have a cura.log which is the one we need here!

[PhilBaz]

Ahh. here it is. I just sliced it again and saw the file date update immediately so hopefully something relevant should be in there.

Here it is:

I have no idea where that %1 bit came from...

[pedrolamas]

What did you set for "Path to klipper_estimator"?

[PhilBaz]

@pedrolamas

I put the .exe in the script folder and set the path to it there. Ill just double check, but i think its done properly. Same config in 5.3 worked. Ill check.

Ahhhh. The path had a typo!!! I'm so sorry Pedro. My fault entirely. I thought I double checked it.

Sorry! Thank you for your help.
