Introduction
GPX includes a handful of presets for converting .gcode files to .x3g, but some printers or customizations require additional changes to these presets. For example, swapping to a new extruder on the Replicator 2 may require the extruder steps/mm value to be updated.
Chroma allows you to choose a preset, or point GPX towards an external config file (.ini) that should be used instead.
Note that lines beginning with a semicolon (;) are comments.

When creating a config file, start by editing the machine_type field as appropriate, or removing it (or commenting it out) if the configuration is not based on an existing GPX preset.

Scroll through the file to find the appropriate setting that needs to be changed. If the setting is commented out with a semicolon, remove the semicolon to enable it.
