Cura custom build volume files

thingiverse

The CURA Slicer works great for the Alunar printer however the oversized Alunar doesn't have an accurate build volume showing when placing objects into CURA. These files placed into the correct directories will allow for the Alunar printer volume to display accurately in CURA. Place the Alunar.json file in the C:\Program Files\Cura 2.1\resources\machines folder and place the Alunar_220x220x230.stl file in the C:\Program Files\Cura 2.1\resources\meshes and then open Cura select the printer and you're set for this new volume size. The .json files are easily editable in note pad and you can simply change the parameters as needed for your machine if these aren't the right dimensions for yours. Make sure that after editing you save the .json file with a new name and include in the meshes directory a new .stl model that matches the named file in the .json file you make. BTW use underscores instead of spaces in the file name for your .stl as I suspect there is a file reading issue with the naming as all of the default files in the meshes folder have them.
