Global configuration

Global configuration

One of the biggest innovations is the global configuration. This is a cloud database provided via the Firebase service (from Google). This database contains a catalog of manufacturers, material types, printers and materials. The tool can load this information on every launch, or manually through the "Sync Now" button.

Missing information in the catalogue

The catalog is constantly being updated and expanded on our part. If items are missing, you are welcome to send us a message and we will record the missing information.

Use data from the catalog

To use a printer or material from the catalog, click the "+" button on the printer. / Material side. In the dialog, at the top, a button "Find printer from presets" now appears.

A new dialog will then open, from which you can select your desired printer.

If a printer is selected, the parameters are automatically loaded into the input mask. You still have the option of adjusting parameters such as the price.

Finally, the printer can be created using the "Add" button.

Important notice

The data loaded from the cloud is stored in a separate database file ("Prsets.db"). This is in the same folder as the "Data.db" file that contains your settings.

You can open the path directly by opening the following path in your explorer.

C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\3dPrintCostCalculator2\Settings

The environment variable '%USERNAME%' automatically uses your current user.
