And you're not calling yourself an expert user? I think that's the problem. What you are doing and how you are doing it is clearly expert usage.

I like it better for the highest quality prints then UM filament. The colors are awesome, unlike cheap Chinese filament, it doesn't lose color in sunlight. As for the glow-in-the-dark. It works, but you need to print quite solid for a lasting glow.

If you make it free, and just concentrate on the slicing and not on the GUI, then we could bolt it below the Cura GUI. (I pretty much designed Cura around the ability to change slicers at some point) Also, I've been testing out dual-extrusion support PVA prints, and I've learned quite a bit about them. PVA and PLA can be a good mix for soluble support prints, and I can get it to work with SF. But it could be done smarter.

1) No, it does not really send a GCode. But it has the same effect as sending M220 Sxxx. Yes, it effects the minimal layer time. And it effects everything. 2) "Sleep..." indicates an error. It's a bit of a bug, as it should say "ERROR: TEMPERATURE". Most likely the thermocouple connection is a bit bad which is causing this during certain movements. 3) Long filenames are currently only supported in the unstable development version of Marlin. 4) The issue here is that we don't know why you pressed stop. You could be pressing stop because the hotend dug itself into the print, at which point you DON'T want it to move. You could also have pressed stop because the print failed, and you want to restart it. Cooling off the nozzle would also be bad then. 5) Yes, the menus are a bit overkill at the moment. They where designed when a lot of settings where not dialed in correctly yet. Now they are and you no longer would need those menus.

I'm factoring in more then just that. I'm abstracting the LCD physical implementation from the menu logic. So you could use a character display, graphical display, or an morse code sender if you wish. You just need a new physical layer implementation.

That's where we disagree. The expert stuff is stuff that almost never needs to be adjusted. And certainly NOT by non-experts. What settings are you adjusting in the expert menu? And why?

By any chance, is your fan cooling off the hotend?

Are you asking for width over thickness? We don't use that anymore, it's silly, backwards and as long as you have a step extruder you don't even want it. I also don't need to calculate it because the SF version in Cura doesn't use it.

Install 12.11, it was a bug in 12.10 if you did not have a webcam on your system.

Did you enable the checkbox for retraction? The new checkbox?

Cura/utils/sliceRun.py references and starts pypy.

http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:12439 Not the dual color rocket, but should give you a base to work with.

It this with Ultimaker-white-PLA? You need to up the temperature with 10-15C for that PLA, or else it won't flow correctly. Not sure what's causing it.

Note the 12.10 release had a bug under windows where the printing window did not show if you did not have a webcam connected. The 12.11 release fixes this.

Which version? Because this was fixed in the 12.10 version.

This indeed is a video card driver issue. I have 1 machine that does the same thing, and tried everything and the only thing that works is disabling an optimization which speeds up rendering 20 fold.

It works, I just disabled the button. With some hacking you could show and enable it again.

Most people post-process the yoda after printing, with a knife.

It will be.

Is the powerbrick connected and the main power on? (the fan at the bottom should be spinning) (Note, Cura has become the default software for the Ultimaker, we still need to update some references to RepG on the wiki)

PrintRun can also control a hotbed. Other slicing options are Slic3r and KISSlicer.

You can from the printing interface.

The high-quality setting is good old SF50 without speedup options. So it's quite a bit worse then Cura speed wise and memory wise. They do have some good GUI ideas in MakerWare, so we might steal some ideas for Cura.

Less complex model. Or changing slicer. It's currently a hard limit of 2GB memory use under windows (Mac and Linux have higher limits) I know it sucks, but currently little I can do about it.
