Printer Definition

Basic information about the printer is defined in:

{cura_config_folder}/definitions/voron0_120.def.json

Print Platform 3D Model

The 3D model is defined in:

{cura_config_folder}/meshes/V0_120mm_Bed.stl

The STL model is courtesy of hartk1213.

Toolhead Definitions

A set toolheads with various nozzle sizes:

{cura_config_folder}/variants/voron0_120_v6_0.25.inst.cfg
{cura_config_folder}/variants/voron0_120_v6_0.30.inst.cfg
{cura_config_folder}/variants/voron0_120_v6_0.40.inst.cfg
{cura_config_folder}/variants/voron0_120_v6_0.50.inst.cfg
{cura_config_folder}/variants/voron0_120_v6_0.60.inst.cfg
{cura_config_folder}/variants/voron0_120_v6_0.80.inst.cfg

It is recommended to copy all toolheads, even if your printer only has one nozzle size available.

These files can be easily modified if your extruder has unique sizing/requirements.

Here is an example:

[general]
name = V6 0.40mm
version = 4
definition = voron0_120

[metadata]
setting_version = 16
type = variant
hardware_type = nozzle

[values]
machine_nozzle_size = 0.4

Startup GCode

Start/End GCode runs before and after every print, it is unique to your specific printer.

Here is an example for Startup:

G28                  ; home printer xyz
G0 Y0 X40            ; go to tongue of print bed
G1 Z0.2 F500.0       ; move bed to nozzle
G92 E0.0             ; reset extruder
G1 E4 F500.0         ; pre-purge prime LENGTH SHOULD MATCH YOUR PRINT_END RETRACT
G1 X80 E10.0 F500.0  ; intro line 1
G1 Y0.3              ; move in a little
G1 X40 E10.0 F500.0  ; second line
G92 E0.0             ; reset extruder
G1 Z2.0              ; move nozzle to prevent scratch
print_start

NOTE: The pre-purge prime (line 5) should match the length of retract in PRINT_END in your printer's ~/printer.cfg.

Usually the default print_end Stop GCode is enough.
