Go to the Machine Settings on the Printers pane of the preferences, and make sure "Origin at center" is NOT checked, That option should only be set for specific printers (such as delta-style printers)

Hard to tell without the models and the settings. Please share a project (File -> Save as...)

You can also have a look at the Godmode plugin, which has a "view" that adds labels/texts to the viewport https://github.com/sedwards2009/cura-god-mode-plugin

I'll respond there, keeping this thread on-topic

Can you point me to the original discussion?

Ultimaker has no interest in supporting USB printing. So if it does not work you will have to use something else untill someone from the community or eg your printer manufacturer steps in and fixes it.

I feel it would become a support nightmare. Many reports don’t even spell “Cura” properly, let alone the version number. Having daily builds only complicates that.

I meant in the sidebar, not in the setting visibility dialog. But that might not work (not sure). What may work is using the Per Model Settings tool, go to Add Settings, and tick the "Show All" and use the search in that dialog.

Use the search field to find the "Drop Down Support Mesh" setting and turn it off.

You add the files you want to be added in the correct location inside your own branch.

Have you tried the similar menu next to the "Search..." box in the sidebar? Does that work better?

Scroll down to the BETA section, all the way on the bottom of the page @smartavionics linked to.

Yes, sofar this looks correct

Does the external reader have drive letters associated with it? What happens when you disconnect the reader? Not as a solution, but as a step in troubleshooting.

You run Cura as Administrator. Bad, bad, not good.

What makes you think Cura tries to do that? It doesn't. Never did.

I'm sorry, I did not actually test this with Cura 3.5. I have edited the opening post to reflect that. The plugin is 3.6 and 4.0 only (for now)

The important thing here is that your model is concave, and the polygon around the model is convex. Doing intersection-calculations on concave is much harder, more computationally intensive, thus takes longer, than doing the same with only convex polygons.

What I think he meant, sort-of tongue in cheek, was that I somehow disable my plugin on computers at ultimaker hq, force-dog-feeding the 4.0 interface to Cura developers. I can appreciate the joke.

I would very much appreciate it if the Marketplace could keep serving older versions of my plugins for older versions of Cura. If not, I would still have to test new versions of my plugins with the older versions. Take the OctoPrint Connection plugin as an example. Due to changes in Cura, there has only been one recent release (3.5 -> 3.6) where the plugin did not need minor or major changes to work with the next version, in a way that broke it for the previous version. If the version I released for Cura 2.7 would still be available in the 2.7 plugin browser, it would still work. But there's no way I'm going to be able to make a version that works correctly in Cura 2.7 and Cura 4.0.

I’m going to need a screenshot, with the Per Model Settings panel showing what you changed.

You mean "pay particular attention to faces that are light-blueish versus white/grey". Right?

Plugins that are downloaded via the Marketplace/Toolbox are not installed in the Program Files folder, but in the configuration folder. See Help -> Show configuration folder, and then open the folder named "plugins"

Miyagi father says: First learn stand, then learn fly. If your printhead has the hole for the seocnd extruder, the motherboard likely has the second driver chip. But you also likely have an Ultimaker 2, not an Ultimaker 2+. The original plans for the Ultimaker 2 dual extrusion kit fell through because printing with two fixed nozzles is hard to do right. The second nozzle will be rubbing or scratching over the print while printing with the first nozzle, with a decent chance of knocking parts of the print off the buildplate. Any material stuck to either nozzle will smudge into the print. It just does not work very well.

The current stable version is Cura 3.6. Cura 4.0 is only available in beta. Plugins need to be adapted for Cura 4.0. In the past few weeks it has become apparent that plugins currently can only be available in the Toolbox/Marketplace for one Cura version at a time. Most plugins are available for Cura 3.6
