We're thrilled to introduce a new script designed to enhance your DragonFly 3D printer experience. This script simplifies and automates several steps in your workflow, from project file management to printer resolution adjustments.
What Does the Script Do
- Project File Selection: With a click of a button, you can easily select your DragonFly project files (.pcbj) from anywhere on your computer. A file dialog window will open for you to navigate and pick your file. The script will show you the selected file path for easy reference.
- Resolution Reading: Once a project file is selected, the script dives in to read the resolution information of the project. It fetches the print axis resolution data and displays it for you. Simultaneously, it also reads your printer's current resolution from the machine calibration file.
- Resolution Adjustment: Based on the project resolution, the script automatically adjusts the printer's resolution parameters. If your project resolution is 18um and the printer is set to 36um, it'll adjust the printer resolution to match the project and vice versa. You'll be notified about this change and can proceed with printing.
- Backup and Logging: Safety first! Before making any changes to your machine's calibration settings, the script creates a backup of your current calibration file. It also logs all the resolution changes made to your printer. So, you have a clear record of all adjustments over time.
- User Interface: All these operations are neatly packaged into a user-friendly interface. It displays key messages about each step, letting you know exactly what's going on. And when you're done, you can easily exit the script with a click.
In short, this script simplifies your project setup, ensures your printer's settings are optimized for each project, and provides clear records of all adjustments. It's a comprehensive tool to make your 3D printing experience smoother and more efficient.
