thingiverse

The text is a set of instructions on how to customize and set up Cura, a 3D printing software, to work with the AnyCubic Predator printer. It explains how to add custom profiles and settings to Cura by modifying files in the user's AppData folder. Here are some key points from the text: 1. **Backup your current AppData folder**: Before making any changes, it is recommended that you create a backup of your current AppData folder for Cura so that you can restore it if needed. 2. **Customize profiles and settings**: The instructions provide information on how to customize profiles and settings in Cura by modifying files in the user's AppData folder. * You will need to find an image file with a transparent background, save it as a png file, and rename it to ***predator_image.png***. Store this file in the Images folder. 3. **Folder locations**: The instructions explain where the folders are located for the current version of Cura: * \*\*Definitions\*\*: predator.def.json * \*\*Extruders\*\*: predator_extruder_0.def.json * \*\*Meshes\*\*: predator_platform.obj * \*\*Images\*\*: predator_image.png * \*\*Quality\*\*: Create a new folder called anycubic_predator and place all the cfg files in that folder. 4. **Customize default profiles**: The instructions explain how to customize the default profiles for the Predator by editing the ***predator.def.json*** file. * You can manually change the start and end gCode in this file, which will apply to all machine setups created after the changes are made. 5. **Prevent custom default profiles**: If you do not want to have custom default profiles for the Predator, you can turn off this feature by setting ***"has_machine_quality": true*** to ***false*** in the ***predator.def.json*** file. * This will prevent any unexpected results when using Cura with multiple printers.
