KODAK-Portrait-3D-Printer-Support-added

[Jojo09092007]

Description

I did not want to use the old Kodak Slicer (3.6.6) anymore, so I integrated it into the new Cura.
I added the KODAK Portrait 3D Printer itself, the platform (STL-File, i reduced its file size), extruder1, extruder2 and its generic materials (which are now removed from the pull request). If you want them too contact me!
All the Files are from https://github.com/Smartinternational/KodakCura and are 100% working.

Type of change

• Printer definition file(s)

How Has This Been Tested?

I tested it on my own KODAK Portrait 3D Printer, it works great.

• I tested it with a one color print, which worked great.
• I tested it with a two color print, which worked fine, if you merge the Models in Cura.

Test Configuration:

• Operating System: Windows 11 Pro for Workstations (Version 10.0.22631)

Checklist:

• My code follows the style guidelines of this project as described in UltiMaker Meta and Cura QML best practices
• I have read the Contribution guide
• I have commented my code, particularly in hard-to-understand areas
• I have uploaded any files required to test this change

Hello,I also want to add my definition into curat,I try several times but failed.I met the same failed with you,l.Do you know the reason about it?

[Jojo09092007]

The max value of extruders should just be removed, it does nothing. There was a change in the main cura branch, which completly destroyed the bot.
Someone should report the issue.

I have the same Kodak 3D Portrait printer and am looking for a solution to keep it running now that the manufacturer has gone out of business or at least stopped supporting it. What is the status? Is the printer now fully Cura compatible by default or does something still need to be installed?

I created a portable version for you just extract it: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1rogGV3M3iKcNA_XlPY7UgMDBn3KxC7DO?usp=drive_link

Did it work for you?

I just tried it today for the first time. It looks weird though, as if it will try to print lower than the build plate. See attached screenshots.

That is a visual bug, you can adjust that in the printer config file, will fix it later.

Thanks for all your work, really happy to be able to use Cura with my kodak printer! As you said, it was just a visual bug and the parts printed fine!

Are you sure that these last commits address the visual bug though? Looking at those commits, I see nothing that changes any kodak configuration files? Looks like just a merge from upstream plus a linter commit. I assume the required change is some configuration file about the build plate? I am a bit weary about recompiling with this new version due to the transition to conan2.

If I wanted to get rid of this visual bug just locally on my branch, which file is it that needs updating?

It is located in resources/definition/kodakportait.json

These are the updated values.
platform offset is the important part.

I fixed everything in my github version, the downloadable Cura is just a messy port from the original files, I changed that in the new downloadable version, I hope the printer will be added eventually, I am now waiting almost 2 years for this, my patience are running thin, but I can do nothing.

Hi Guys, I can help in something? I have just buyed this printer and compared with other printers (like bambulab) lacks a lot of software

I was looking to move away from this strange software and go for something like octoprint or astroprint

[Jojo09092007]

Now "fixed" all the stuff that needs updating, because some stuff (that works now) didn't work back then.

There is some cloud service, named 3dprinteros, and there you can add the kodak, because the kodak cloud doesn't exist anymore.

Hey, I downloaded the google drive link and it works almost flawlessly, but is there a way to exclusively print with the second nozzle, because when i set the slicer to the second nozzle it always switched back to the first one.

That should work, but you need to not print on the boardes of the print plate, can you describe your issue more exactly?

I slice it with the model being selected to the 2nd nozzle, then right before the printer starts heating the nozzle and bed it goes and switches to the 2nd nozzle. However when the nozzle and bed are heated it and it is about to print, just goes to switch back to the first nozzle. I recently got this printer like last month and haven't been able to updated it so it might be that, but I have no clue how. I saw online that there was an SD chip slot where you can update the board under the build plate but when I checked it just wasn't there.

So, once I've downloaded this files from the google drive link, what do I do with them, how do I add this to Cura? Sorry simple question I know but can't figure this out.
