This plugin adds a menu to create some simple shapes to the scene (cube, cylinder, tube) and calibration sample parts. They are used most of the time to create some fast test parts and common calibration/test parts.

The default size for all the simple shapes is 20 mm, but can be modified via the Define default size menu.

You can also load standard test / calibration part :

Multi flow parts : For this parts the initial design is scaled to the nozzle size

Bed Level : For this part the initial design is scaled to the bed size

Multi-Extruder Calibration part

• Cube bi-color
• Calibration Cube bi-color
• Extruder Offset Calibration

All the parts have been designed via OpenSCAD. OpenSCAD can be downloaded here

The function Define default size gives you the possibility to change the default size for the standard primitives (cube/cylinder/tube).

This plugin is using the Trimesh library to create simple shapes and to load STL files.

Several postprocessing Scripts are included into the plugin to help the user to generate automaticaly the differents Towers.

• RetractTower.py
• SpeedTower.py
• TempFanTower.py
• FlowTower.py

Note : Since Cura 4.9 you don't need to use this function anymore. Has been removed from the menu.

These scripts can be copied into the scripts directory via the function Copy Scripts.

After you have copied these scripts, you must restart Cura to see the scripts in the postprocessing scripts list.

After the restart the scripts must be visible in the Postprocessing scripts list.

The scripts provided with this plugin must be visible in the Postprocessing scripts list.

Description : postprocessing-script to easily define a Speed Tower.

Five options :

Description: postprocessing-script to easily create a temptower and not use 10 changeAtZ-scripts

The default values are for this temptower PLA model : PLA TempTower 220°C - 180°C

• Temp Tower PLA from 220°C to 180°C (Other design possible to test PLA from 220°C to 190°C)
• Possibility to define also a Fan Tower , Fan percentage speed are defined with semi-colon as separator in the fan variation field

Description: postprocessing-script to easily create a Retract Tower

The default values are for this Retract Tower model : Retract Tower

Two options :

- Speed   :  Speed variation

- Retract :  Distance retract variation

Description: postprocessing-script to easily create a FlowTower

The default values are for this FlowTower model : FlowTower Nozzle 0.4 / Layer height 0.2

• FlowTower from 110% to 90%
  • Using Flow Varation : Flow Varation (M221 S)

New Function to add a mark in front of each part to identify every part. Before to use this function you must select every model on the build plate. The selecting order will also give the number used to identify the Model.

This function will redirect you on the Wiki of this repositery.
