Okay, but I'm going to need the same information as from the other person who responded. What printers did you have added? Thanks for the constructive feedback. We are still looking for software engineers.

What was your active printer?

I don't have 4.3 installed, so I tried to do it in 4.4 (which is in beta now). I managed to create the material without issues. Could you try if it works for you in 4.4 as well?

Note that you could probably already try the changes that I just posted and set them by hand on your UM3. The intent profiles for the S3 and the S5 are exactly the same. The settings you would need for the um3 to get the maximum result are probably a bit different, but it should already get you much closer.

I can say something about that! The visual intents change the following settings: speed_infill = 50 wall_thickness = =wall_line_width * 3 top_bottom_thickness = =wall_thickness It's not a whole lot, but they were added last. I expect the visual intents to get more changes in the next releases. The engineering profiles do a whole lot more: infill_line_width = =line_width jerk_print = 30 jerk_infill = =jerk_print jerk_topbottom = =jerk_print jerk_wall = =jerk_print jerk_wall_0 = =jerk_wall jerk_wall_x = =jerk_wall jerk_layer_0 = 5 line_width = =machine_nozzle_size speed_print = 30 speed_infill = =speed_print speed_layer_0 = 20 speed_topbottom = =speed_print speed_wall = =speed_print speed_wall_0 = =speed_wall speed_wall_x = =speed_wall top_bottom_thickness = =wall_thickness wall_line_width_x = =line_width wall_thickness = =line_width * 3 xy_offset = =- layer_height * 0.2 Note that these intent changes sit on top of the existing profiles (so they override settings if both of them define it)

Good thing you're not the owner I guess 😉 Anyway, the information you provided is not nearly enough to actually debug the issue. The pictures are just to vague to make anything out of it and it's from a version of Cura that is not provided by Ultimaker and even if it was, it stopped being supported for 4 years or so. So as frustrating as the message is, you will need to contact Anet if you want help with your issue.

I am one of the developers, but this makes no sense what so ever.

Cura will extrude in such a way that the 0.5mm is reached (or well, it will try to, it might actually fail if the difference between line width and nozzle size is too much)

The auto discovery thing is always listening for printers that are broadcasting themselves. But at least now we have some idea where the issue is located.

It's moved back in 4.4

Could you please report this on github (and also fill in the provided issue template). You can do that on https://github.com/ultimaker/cura/issues Don't forget to also add the log files.

You should disable the UM3Networking plugin. I believe the automatic discovery might be the culprit.

I've forwarded this to the UX-er in charge of this. It was already an item on the backlog, so your remarks have been added as feedback to it.

I've fixed this for 4.4. The beta should be out soon-ish. I saw the crashes, but couldn't actually reproduce it. So could you re-test this with the beta once it's out?

I don't think anyone from production is checking the forums. I can try to forward this to the Products In Market people, maybe they have some more info about this (I sure as hell don't, because you can touch it)

We don't know yet. That's the problem 😞 Our suspicions are that it has to do with the network infrastructure, but it's one of those extremely illusive and hard to debug issues.

Unfortunately, the way @ahoeben did it is the only way to do it.

To be honest, we don't really test leaving Cura open for 24 hours (or longer). Actually profiling something for that long also makes it really difficult to figure out what is going wrong. But anyway, I have some ideas as to what might be causing it. Do you happen to use the printer connectivity of Ultimaker printers? We're using a library there that has had some tendency of hogging resources in some conditions.

If you're really sure that those profiles are gone, you can also manually delete them from your config folder (but seriously, do back it up before doing this). You can find the configuration folder in the help menu (and then click the "show config folder")

Printing one at a time is tricky. The reason it decreases the build volume is because it has to. Cura will use the "gantry height" setting for that. This setting defines the distance from the tip of the nozzle to the moving axis. Any print that is longer than that will hit the axis (and will thus ruin your print). The arrange all models is a bit naive. The main reason that it was merged is because it's generally better than the one we had before. It should get some more love, but other things keep getting more priority.

Deprecating is of course not removing it all together. As long as they keep openGL in there, we will do our best to keep it working. But if they were to actually remove it and there is no alternative that works on all operating systems, i fear the worst. It make take us months of dedicated work to port it.

Preferably not. Supporting metal will effectively double the amount of support required for all 3D rendering. So even though the move from Apple is understandable, it's a complete nightmare for developers that support multiple operating systems.

We might have found a solution for this! So i would like to ask everyone to download and test the 4.4 beta once that is available (should be in the next few weeks).

Nice find. We're going to look into this to see if that was the thing plaguing the rest of the users as well.

You mean like the horizontal offset setting?
