Ultimaker2 Template for Simplify3d

Ultimaker 2 Template for Simplify3D

This is a remix of Mike Bogutsch's (fortwienix) Wanhao Template for S3D,
http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2298799
Many thanks for his permission to use his instructions as below.

(The template I have made is for Simplify3D but I have read somewhere that it also works with other slicers.)

At the moment the Template is for the Ultimaker2, UMO and UM3 may follow shortly

Simplify3D template Installation:

Copy the stl file (e.g. UltimakerPrintBed.stl) to the following folder:
C: \ Users \ USERNAME \ AppData \ Local \ Simplify3D \ S3D software
Start Simplify3D and export your FFF profile to the desktop (File-> Export FFF profile)
Open the profile with an editor e.g:Notepad and search for the following entries (about line 145 ish)....
overridePrinterModels>0
printerModelsOverride></printerModelsOverride
.....change the upper value from 0 to 1 and in the second line enter the name of the template. like below

overridePrinterModels>1
printerModelsOverride>TEMPLATE NAME.STL</printerModelsOverride
If overridePrinterModels already is set to 1, you do not need to change this.

Save the FFF profile and import it back to Simpify3D
Restart Simplify3D

Tip:
If you think the template is not centered. Import the model to Simplify3D, change the position and Export the model (File->Export Models->Export Binary STL)
