Thank you for downloading the Tevo Tornado Print Bed Pack for Cura.


Disclaimer:

These files are provided for free without warranty under the GNU General Public
License v3.0. The creator of these files is not liable for any damage to, or
caused from, your 3D Printer. By installing these files, you, the user, DO SO AT
YOUR OWN RISK. Please remember to prioritize safety when using 3D Printers!

For security reasons, please only install these files if you downloaded them
directly from https://github.com/bjrice13/TevoTornadoCuraBedPack. Using files
downloaded from a third party increases the risk of the files containing malware
or modified printer settings, which could lead to bad or dangerous prints!

These files have been tested on Cura 4.4.1 and Cura 4.6.1. Other versions of
Cura have not been tested with these modifications, and may not work.


Installation:
-------------

Easy Install (For users who HAVE NOT updated the Tevo Tornado Cura profile to
custom settings, bed sizes, etc.):

1. Unzip the downloaded folder, "TevoTornadoCuraBedPack-1.X.zip".
2. Copy the sub-folder, "resources", to the root of your Cura installation. This
   typically is located at "C:\Program Files\Ultimaker Cura X.X\". Accept the
   file "tevo_tornado.def.json" to be overwritten.
3. Launch Cura and inspect that the Tevo Tornado profile has automatically
   updated the bed image and bed model.


Advanced Install (For users who (might) have customized their Tevo Tornado Cura
profile):

1. Unzip the downloaded folder, "TevoTornadoCuraBedPack-1.X.zip".
2. Copy the file "tevobed.png" (under the downloaded and unzipped sub-folder
   "\resources\images\") to "\Ultimaker Cura X.X\resources\images\".
3. Copy the file "tevo_tornado.obj" (under the downloaded and unzipped
   sub-folder "\resources\meshes\") to "\Ultimaker Cura X.X\resources\meshes\".
4. Open the file
   "\Ultimaker Cura X.X\resources\definitions\tevo_tornado.def.json" with a
   IDE or text editor.
5. Under "metadata", insert the following three lines:

   "platform": "tevo_tornado.obj",
   "platform_texture": "tevobed.png",
   "platform_offset": [0, -1, 0],

6. The file should now look something like:

{
    "name": "Tevo Tornado",
    "version": 2,
    "inherits": "fdmprinter",
    "metadata": {
        "visible": true,
        "author": "nean",
        "manufacturer": "Tevo",
        "file_formats": "text/x-gcode",
        "platform": "tevo_tornado.obj",
        "platform_texture": "tevobed.png",
        "platform_offset": [0, -1, 0],
        "has_materials": true,
        "machine_extruder_trains": {
            "0": "tevo_tornado_extruder_0"
        }
    },


... etc. etc. ...

7. Launch Cura and inspect that the Tevo Tornado profile has automatically
   updated the bed image and bed model.
