Adding new printer still lacks documentation #26

Dear print Manager Team,

there are still many parts hardly documented, i got so far the gcode translator working and a basic preset but i have trouble to implement my own start and end gcode.

i based my setup on the Ultimaker / Marlin files.

my start GCode holds the string:

"lower build plate before homing"

this string is not to be found in your repro, except in the mic files, but since i changed completely the translator name and all methods to my own printer name i can not believe that the start gcode is pulled from that files.

I spent now about 6 hours trying to make a preset for our printer, never did i needed that long with any kind of slicing software to add a printer, this setup is a mess, it is more like coding than writing a configuration, way to complex and full of possible error scenarios.

Documentation is rare, full of errors and misinformation ( the main Readme.md states a C:\ path and explains than "the above will work for Mac OS X")

So i am really patient, but i have waited now about 2 month tried twice to add our printer to that set up, no chance at all.

I have also to say that i worked with the Fusion 360 API which is from the same kind of poor coding quality, seems like you are not able to make any one contribute to your infrastructure.
