Info

Note: Updated to work with Cura 5.0

Note: Turns out MKS TFT uses the same format, so the plugin should work for the boards using MKS TFT as well

Cura plugin generating and embedding snapshot image of a model in a gcode.

Designed and Tested with Lotmax SC-10 Shark (users are mentioning it also works with MKS boards). If it works with other printers, please let me know.

This plugin can be configured to work only with given printers, to avoid adding unnecessary snapshot images to the G-code for printers which do not support them.
