Do you have the Material Settings plugin installed?

There is a bug in the current version of the Material Settings plugin that prevents creating new materials. I’ll try to release a fixed version soon.

Yes, that would be better. But I always forget if it is layer0 or layer_0 or just _0, and sometimes I get lazy and don't want to look things up. So I used the temperatures for the normal layers. 😉

Cura checks if you add a heatup sequence in your start gcode. If you don't, it adds its own heatup before your start gcode. If you don't want Cura to add these lines, make sure your start gcode contains lines which have {material_print_temperature} and {material_bed_temperature} in them respectively (exactly as typed, Cura will replace the {}-text with the temperatures). eg: G21 ;metric values G90 ;absolute positioning M82 ;set extruder to absolute mode M107 ;start with the fan off ; etc M140 S{material_bed_temperature} ;Start heating bed M190 S{material_bed_temperature} ;Wait for bed to reach temp before proceeding M104 S{material_print_temperature} ;Start heating extruder M109 S{material_print_temperature} ;Wait for extruder to reach temp before proceeding ;etc Having this in your start gcode prevents Cura from putting heatup commands in front of your start gcode. This means that you can insert your G4 S300 command anywhere you want to relative to your heatup commands.

That's (still) what @nallath is trying to tell you. You can still adjust settings per model if you "merge" the model in Cura. Merging in Cura is very much like grouping, but it joins the model origins. But you can still select the models individually and adjust their settings. You can select an individual model within a group by clicking on it while holding down the ctrl key. Then you can manipulate it as if it were not grouped/merged.

I'ld still like to know the answer to my questions, either here or in that thread. Also what GPU is in your Mac? Can you post your Cura.log? With 30 seconds to expand a category, there's something going really wrong and perhaps it can be fixed before the more extensive crash handling is added to Cura 4.5.

What version of Cura do you use, on what version of OS X?

I am pretty sure your Cura for Type A also has a spiralize or vase mode in the Expert Settings:

The General preferences pane has options to always ask how to open project files; models only or as projects.

first cd into the folder where the file is located...

The file is an AppImage. You make it executable (chmod +x filename, or via the context menu in your desktop manager) and run it.

These parameters, along with the gantry height, are only used for "one at a time" printing.

I'm still wondering what browser you used before you tried Firefox.

Have you tried a different browser and/or computer? I can’t help you if your computer won’t allow you to download a simple file.

Very strange. It is the same url that Cura would use to download the plugin. Out of interest: what browser do you use? I downloaded the file for you and uploaded it here: files.fieldofview.com/temp/SettingsGuide2-v7.0.0-2019-11-09T00_11_15Z.curapackage

Strange, even my phone downloads the file just fine. What error do you get?

The Settings Guide is available from the Marketplace, isn’t it? Edit: sorry, didn’t read well enough. I looked up the download url for you: https://api.ultimaker.com/cura-packages/v1/cura/v7.0.0/packages/SettingsGuide2/download

Merry Christmas to you too. Why are we on our computers?

Perhaps you have made your objects thinner than the initial layer height?

I know that, I was wondering if there is any printer that supports it on its interface, or in any user-facing way.

Isn't that a great example for why only one unit should be used? No conversion, no catastrophe. Out of interest, what 3d printer has that option?

@cappy0815, I think you have the "Add machine prefix to job name" in the General preferences unchecked; if so, the prefix will not be added. Thanks for the feedback, I will add a note about that in the dialog (and an option to set this preference) in a future version.

@lela, so you got it working again? @burtoogle, are you installing the plugin through the Marketplace, or including the latest version from git? I can see how using the git version could have that netifaces issue (thanks for pointing that out), but not the version on the Marketplace.

The plugin is not loading because you have installed a version that has not yet been thoroughly tested in the program files bundle. Please remove that, and also check if there are any OctoPrintPlugin folders in your Configuration Folder (Help -> Show configuration folder -> plugins). Then please reinstall the plugin from the Marketplace.

@Lela, how did you add your printer to Cura? Are you sure you didn’t add it as an *Ultimaker* S5 instead of a Creality machine? The Ultimaker S5 is not compatible with OctoPrint so the button is not shown. If you added it as a creality machine, then please post a link to your Cura.log. It can be found via Help -> Show configuration folder.
