@Thopiekar Do you know what might be going wrong here?

That's because it's not there. STL doesn't support multi objects in a single file. Other formats like 3MF and OBJ should support it correctly. The feature was never ported from the old cura to the new, mostly because it was insanely slow.

Don't pin me down on it, but I think it's what the feeder tried to push through it (aka; What the machine thinks was extruded).

Yup. Saving a relative / absolute path to a file in a project is bound to break. If you share a project with another person on another PC, it won't work at all. This is why we chose to use 3mf for project files, which means the geometry of the model(s) is stored in the project file.

I don't have exact data, because it also depends on the kind of material. I've had some discussions with the embedded guys about adding a "abrasiveness factor" to materials so we can correctly track this (eg; If you print 10 hours with PLA you lose 10 points, but with bronze fill, you lose 100 points). This way we should be able to tell you how much % of the nozzle is "used up"

We even have room on the core eeprom to store how much filament was printed with it.

And I've also made contributions to Cura / Uranium outside of the time I got paid for it

Anyone on the contributors page of Uranium, Cura & CuraEngine should get the badge I think.

I'm not quite sure what this fixes? That you don't need to disable any settings in preferences.

I've added the badge to my profile in the only way I know how...

Pff, I have 1300 commits and don't have the badge either

It's also possible if you group objects, ctrl click the object you want to put above the rest and translate it. You could also try not printing it as support, but an object sandwich of sorts (you put another circle in between and mark it as print with PVA nozzle)

You should try and see if you can get Ultimaker firmware to run on it. That would be a good joke

Those material profiles are for firmware. I have little to no knowledge about it (as I mentioned in the first post). @Daid should know about this.

At some point we did make a x3g converter. I think there is a plugin (for 2.x) floating arround that might work.

Like I said, it can work. But not all power supply units are exactly the same.

Help-> show configuration folder The files that are in there are the user generated profiles & machine instances. Copying those should do the trick.

Nope. In a lot of cases this is intentional as we are on a pretty tight power budget. We've had printers that would turn themselves of if you tried heating them with max power from the start.

Load in what version of Cura? Could you share the model & Log files??

The reload is going to be tricky with the workspace saving. There are certain model formats (like 3mf) that can save multiple models and transformations. This makes reloading tricky, as Cura might have changed the orientation. Linking a model to a specific model inside a 3mf is also a bit tricky.

The USB handling is being worked on by the guys from Aleph Objects (LulzBot). I don't think it will be in the next release, but i expect it to be in the 2.5 release (which would mean that it's in a stable release in about 3 months). 2.4 will have some rudimentary control for removing supports. For those of you that have already worked with Infill meshes, it will work almost the same as those.

Could you post your log files? Have you tried disabling your firewall? It tends to block the connection between the GUI and the slicing engine.

We don't have a good way of doing that yet. It would theoretically be possible for Cura to also look at a remote location for profiles, but we haven't built such a feature yet. With Unix systems you could fix this by making symbolic links. Not sure if Windows supports something like that.

It doesn't need to be connected to any printer. Could you post the log files of Cura?

Did you merge them? That should align the origins of both models.
