thingiverse

The provided text is a set of instructions for building the Space Mouse plugin from source code. The plugin is designed to work with Cura, a 3D printing software, and allows users to control their 3D printer using a Space Mouse device. Here are the key steps to build the plugin: **Prerequisites** * Python 3.5 (with pymalloc deactivated) on Mac OS X/Linux or Windows * A standard build environment including g++/gcc * On Linux, the development package of libspacenav (e.g., `libspnav-dev` on Ubuntu) * On Windows, Visual Studio 2015 and the 3Dconnexion SDK **Building the Code** 1. Extract the source code to the `plugins` folder of your Cura configuration directory 2. Navigate to the `src` directory using the shell (PowerShell or Command Prompt) 3. Run `python3.5 setup.py build` to build the library (using the Python version without pymalloc) **Included Dependencies** * The plugin includes dependencies from 3Dconnexion and libspnav, which are licensed under specific terms: + 3Dconnexion SDK: provided under license from 3Dconnexion + libspnav library: licensed under the modified (3-clause) BSD license Overall, building the Space Mouse plugin requires a Python development environment, a standard build environment, and access to specific dependencies on Linux and Windows.
