PHANTOM CORE v1.0

Phantom Core is a specialized, dark-mode GUI utility for generating standardized 3D printing metadata. It allows users to create, validate, and secure Filament, Printer, and Process profiles that adhere to the OpenPrint3D JSON schema.

🚀 Features

• Filament Protocol: Generate profiles for materials (PLA, PETG, ABS) with integrated thermal physics data (Nozzle/Bed temps).
• Process Configuration: Define slicer-agnostic print settings (Layer Height, Speed, Infill).
• Printer Definition: Create hardware profiles for any 3D printer (Build Volume, Model Info).
• The Vault (Preview): A secure steganography suite to embed these JSON profiles inside standard PNG images, allowing for "hidden" data transport.
• Smart Pathing: User-defined target directories for organized file generation.

🛠️ Installation

For Users

1. Download the latest release PhantomCore.exe.
2. Ensure phantom.ico and phantom_logo.png are in the same folder.
3. Run the application.

For Developers

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone [https://github.com/BlackPhantomm/PhantomCore.git](https://github.com/BlackPhantomm/PhantomCore.git)

2. Install dependencies:

   pip install customtkinter pillow

3. Run the source:

   python phantom_gui.py

🔮 Roadmap (v2.0+)

The future of Phantom Core lies in the Vault. As the OpenPrint3D community evolves, this tool will become the primary method for securely sharing printer profiles embedded within images of the prints themselves.

• Vault Activation: Full implementation of Image Steganography (hiding JSON in PNG pixels).
• Cloud Sync: Optional integration with community profile repositories.
• Drag & Drop: Drag a "Phantom Image" into the app to auto-extract settings.
