Export is a script to pick an export plugin and optionally print the output to a file.
The default 'Activate Export' checkbox is on. When it is on, the functions described below will work, when it is off, the functions will not be called.
Export presents the user with a choice of the export plugins in the export_plugins folder. The chosen plugin will then modify the gcode or translate it into another format. There is also the "Do Not Change Output" choice, which will not change the output.
To print the output to a file, add the file output name to the "Also Send Output To" field. A common choice is sys.stdout to print the output in the shell screen. Another common choice is sys.stderr. The default is nothing, in which case the output will not be printed to a file. The 'File Extension' field determines the file extension added to the name of the output file, the default is gcode.
If the "Delete Comments" checkbox is true, export will delete the comments. The comments are not necessary to run a fabricator.
When export is exporting the code, if there is a file replace.csv, it will replace the word in the first column by its replacement in the second column. There is an example file replace_example.csv to demonstrate the comma separated format, which can be edited in a text editor or a spreadsheet.
An export plugin is a script in the export_plugins folder which has the functions getOuput and writeOutput.
The following examples export the file Screw Holder Bottom.stl. The examples are run in a terminal in the folder which contains Screw Holder Bottom.stl and export.py.
