    *cough* 3.6.0 *cough* See that "Prepare" button in the lower right corner? Press it. Prefer not to press it after making changes? Go to the General pane of Preferences and enable automatic slicing. Want to be able to easily toggle this behavior? Go to the Marketplace and install "Automatic slicing toggle switch".

    And did you also test with the camera, with this new version?

    As always, the logs should have information about what is (not) happening. You probably have to install a newer version of the OctoPrint Connection plugin using the MarketPlace. Because in the past old versions of the OctoPrint plugin could crash Cura (due to changes in the Cura code), I made it so that a version of the plugin only loads in versions of Cura that it has been tested with.

    Did you test with or without the camera image displaying?

    A skirt still requires room on the buildplate. Go into the Custom settings, and set Build Plate adhesion to "None". If you don't use the second extruder in this print, disable that extruder. There are a couple of other settings that also affect the grey shaded area around the build volume.

    There are two architectural reasons you don’t see the effect of postprocessing scripts. The Layer View does not actually show the gcode, but a preview created along-side the gcode, because actually parsing the gcode would take much, much longer. On top of that, postprocessing scripts are only executed just before printing/saving the gcode.

    There’s the ZOffset plugin in the Marketplace.

    -1 for the idea because the behavior is so close to the current behavior it would be confusing. An alternative would be to be able to select which values to keep in the keep/discard dialog.

    If you are interested in a version of this plugin for Cura 3.6, please help test this prerelease: http://files.fieldofview.com/cura/PrepareStageCompactor-v5-2018-10-29T14_11_04Z.curapackage

    Note that Cura *only* adds its own preheating before the start g-code if it does not see {material_print_temperature} or {material_print_temperature_layer_0} in your start g-code snippet. If you use those strings instead of hardcoding a value, Cura will not have to add its own preheat sequence.

    Could you test if this version of the plugin still exhibits the leak when you configure it not to display the camera image? http://files.fieldofview.com/cura/OctoPrintPlugin-v5.0.0-2018-11-14T21_29_30Z.curapackage Just drop the downloaded file into a running Cura window, and restart Cura. I don't think this version will fix the memory leak (though it might), but it will help diagnose where/what is leaking. Version 3.5.2 of the plugin (which I think you have installed) has a bug that even when not displaying the image, it is still being streamed and interpreted (oops).

    Have you tried turning the printer off and on again?
  13. ahoeben
    There is no start gcode for Ultimaker 2 flavor, since the start sequence is handled by the printer.

    The indicator should be seen as a “front-left indicator” instead of an origin (except for delta machines, which normally are the only machines that have the origin at the center). Don’t pay too much attention to it, since it doesn’t “do” anything except indication the front-left.

    If you want to run Cura 3.6 with a “clean” configuration folder that is not upgraded from a previous version, do the following: * run Cura 3.6 * go to Help -> Show configuration folder * close Cura * remove all files from the configuration folder, but leave the empty 3.6 folder in place. * restart Cura When Cura cannot find the folder with the correct version name, it will make a copy of the latest configuration and upgrade that (all the way down to legacy Cura if that is all that can be found). When it gets the empty folder though, it starts a new configuration.

    I was wrong about this. Cura does not crash while closing, but it does not clean up after itself properly. I made a fix for that here: https://github.com/Ultimaker/Uranium/pull/423 I think in previous versions (before 3.5), the GUI framework cleaned up the tray icon. In 3.5 that GUI framework was updated and apparently it doesn't clean up after Cura anymore. The patch above (which would have to be included in a new version of Cura) does the cleaning up when closing Cura.

    That's the wrong folder. You need C:\Users\Jon\AppData\Roaming\cura Create an "archive"/zip of that folder, and upload it here or use a service like wetransfer.com or dropbox and post a link to the zip here.

    Check the configuration of the other extruder.

    I think a material with a 2.85 mm diameter got selected during an upgrade. Does the materials dropdown Show Ultimaker materials? Could you try reselecting generic PLA?
  20. ahoeben
    You can move the support cube down a bit.
  21. ahoeben
    You can also use per model settings, and either cut up your model beforehand and reassemble them in Cura, or by using the Mesh Type dropdown you can use a mesh as a modifier mesh. Caveat: you cant change the layer height in this way.
  22. ahoeben
    The mesh needs to have uv coordinates. The STL format does not support those, so you need to use OBJ. The OBJ file also needs to include normals, or the UV coordinates get ignored (if I remember correctly)

    It seems to be your Intel graphics driver crashing. Have you checked if an updated is available from Intel?
  24. ahoeben
    Note that nothing in the profile (or "printer definition") currently affects how Cura interfaces with printers. IE: nothing you can currently add to a printer definition can change if a printer is detected over USB. The issue that some printers are not detected in Cura can only be fixed in the code of Cura.
  25. ahoeben
    You are in "Layer view", but the model has not yet been sliced. Press the "Prepare" button in the lower right corner. Alternatively, you can go to the General preferences, and enable Automatic slicing.
