# BCN3DSigma-ProGen
Profile Generator for Simplify3D, Cura & Cura 2 slicing softwares. Specifically designed for the BCN3D Sigma.
The official code behind the [Sigma ProGen web interface](https://www.bcn3dtechnologies.com/en/sigma-progen/). It generates profiles according to hotends, filaments and qualities defined in *resources* folder.
## Requirements
- Python 2.7 installed.
- *resources* folder with at least one hotend in *hotends* folder, one filament in *filaments* and one quality preset in *quality*. The included one comes with all hotends, filaments and qualities we have tested.
## Usage
Clone/download the repository in your computer:
`git clone https://github.com/BCN3D/BCN3DSigma-Profile-Generator`
Decompress it if you need to, open a terminal, go to the directory and call the script:
`python progen.py`
Will ask for a functionality:
1. **Profile for Simplify3D:** Will ask for left Hotend, left loaded Filament, right Hotend and right loaded Filament. Then will generate the fff profile file.
2. **Profile for Cura:** Same as *1*, now for Cura (will ask for Quality at the end).
2. **Profile for Cura 2 [Beta]:** Asks nothig. Generates all the files to add the Sigma to Cura 2 and, if Cura 2 is already installed, copies all the files to the right places.
4. **Experimental features:** Some experimental extra features.
5. **Exit:** Quit the program.
In order to add, remove or change a hotend, filament or quality preconfiguration edit the files in *Profiles Data* folder.
### Fast mode (No GUI)
To generate a profile without entering the GUI.
Simplify3D: call the script and insert 4 valid parameters:
`python progen.py LHotend RHotend LFilament RFilament --software`
Cura: call the script and insert 5 valid parameters:
`python progen.py LHotend RHotend LFilament RFilament Quality --software`
Cura 2: Still not available.
Valid parameters for Hotends are filenames in */resources/hotends* or 'None' if not mounted. Valid parameters for Fiaments are filenames in */resources/filaments* or 'None' if empty. Valid parameters for Quality are filenames in */resources/quality*. Examples:
`python progen.py "0.4 - Brass" "0.4 - Brass" "Colorfila PLA" "Colorfila PLA" --simplify3d`
Generates the file *BCN3D Sigma - 0.4 Left (PLA Colorfila), 0.4 Right (PLA Colorfila).fff*
`python progen.py "0.4 - Brass" "0.4 - Brass" "Colorfila PLA" "Colorfila PLA" "Standard" --cura`
Generates the file *BCN3D Sigma - 0.4 Left (PLA Colorfila), 0.4 Right (PLA Colorfila) - Standard.ini*
## Editing *resources* files
