I'm proud to announce that the NGCWriter plugin has made it into the
Cura plugin repository. From Cura 3.2 onward you can install NGCWriter
just by adding it via Plugins > Browse Plugins...

The plugin generates Machinekit + Velocity Extrusion compatible ngc
GCode.

Only the extension. It’s just a text file.
