Creality Print

Creality Print is feature-rich FDM slicing software from Creality. It contains model libraries, machine control and other functions, as well as cutting-edge slicing algorithms, providing users with the best printing experience. Creality Print slicer engine is based on CuraEngine by Ultimaker，Some functions refer to PrusaSlicer (Auto-arrange,Auto-orient,Support G2/G3,Overhang down speed).

Calibration function ideas and models come from the open source community. Thanks OrcaSlicer

1. The Flowrate test and retraction test is inspired by SuperSlicer.
2. The PA Tower method is inspired by Klipper.
3. The temp tower model is remixed from Smart compact temperature calibration tower.
4. The max flowrate test was inspired by Stefan(CNC Kitchen), and the model used in the test is a remix of his Extrusion Test Structure.

How to compile

cmake, git, python3.7+, conan 1.50, compiler toolchains should be installed

build project as follow for the first time:
windows .\cmake\ci\cmake.py -c -b -e --channel_name=opensource
linux or mac python3 ./cmake/ci/cmake.py -c -b -e --channel_name=opensource

if the conan libs haved been installed, you can build project directly:
windows .\cmake\ci\cmake.py 
linux or mac python3 ./cmake/ci/cmake.py
