Installation

  • Download the latest release as a '.zip' file and head over to Blender 2.80+.
  • Go to Edit->Preferences->Add-on->Install and point to the downloaded '.zip' file.
  • Make sure that the installed add-on is enabled.
  • Once enabled, the add-on looks for Regex and Tqdm modules, it prompts for an installation if the required modules are missing. Kindly install them either via the prompt or manually.

Usage

Caution: It is a computationally expensive process. Tested with Cura 4.6.2 and Blender 2.83.

  • Run Blender 2.80+ from command line.
  • Specify Layer height and Nozzle diameter during file import.
