Geeetech A10M Cura Profile

thingiverse

*****PLEASE READ*****\r\nFor some reason, one of the extruder files gets corrupted when downloading all three files as a single zipped file through the interface. Download them individually on the thing tab and it works just fine.\r\n************************\r\nJust checked and this still works with Cura 4.0!\r\n\r\nI created another machine profile for the Geeetech A10M, which works with Cura 3.5 and above if you follow the directions. It may also work for previous versions depending on when Cura started supporting dual extruders! There might be more tweaking needed for those who have custom GCode settings in the start and end gcode or nozzle areas. After adding this printer profile to Cura, simply click under "Other" when adding a printer and you will find "Geeetech A10M" listed.\r\n\r\nHere are some basic instructions to make this profile work for you:\r\n\r\n(EDIT: Replace the "x" in Cura 2.x or 3.x or 4.x with your version number. So if you have 2.6, replace it with a 6, or 3.0 replace the 2.x with 3.0 and so on.)\r\n\r\nFor PC:\r\n\r\nPut the "geeetech_a10m.def.json" profile file in the following directory (where x is the release number):\r\nC:\Program Files\Ultimaker Cura 3.x\definitions\r\nor \r\nC:\Program Files\Ultimaker Cura 4.x\definitions\r\n\r\nNext, put the "geeetech_a10m_extruder_0.def.json" and "geeetech_a10m_extruder_1.def.json" profiles in the following directory (where x is the release number):\r\nC:\Program Files\Ultimaker Cura 3.x\extruders\r\nor\r\nC:\Program Files\Ultimaker Cura 4.x\extruders\r\n\r\nFor Mac - \r\n\r\nInstalling this profile on macOS:\r\n\r\nOpen a new Finder window.\r\nType Shift-Command-G to get the "Go to location" prompt.\r\nType: /Users/your_username/Library/Application Support/cura/3.x/definitions\r\nCopy the profile.json file into the definitions folder.\r\nType: /Users/your_username/Library/Application Support/cura/3.x/extruders\r\nCopy the extruder.json files into the extruders folder.\r\nQuit and restart Cura - it only reads new definitions while starting up.\r\n\r\nNow launch Cura and add your new printer using the new profile! Good luck! You are welcome to edit the start and end gcode for the printer as well as make any other settings changes you see fit when you go back into machine settings. I've just given you a starting point for now! Also, newer minor releases of Cura (like 3.4 to 3.5 or 3.5 to 3.6 and now 4.0) will require you to place these files in the new directories. If it's just a simple update (for example: updating Cura from 3.5.1 to 3.5.2), then you should not have to copy the files again.\r\n\r\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8Fk7RALnOE
