    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.
  2. 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?

    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.

    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.

    The memory issue that I reproduced is fixed, in both 3.5 and 3.6 (the new version of the OctoPrint plugin is compatible with both). But there could be another (or a new) leak that I don’t yet know about, so please test and let me know.

    Marketplace should have an updated OctoPrint plugin.

    I think in this particular case, the new minor release was pushed forward a bit to get the support for CC cores out.

    Once a branch is made for a minor version (3.x), no new feature is allowed in that branch; in revision releaes (3.5.x) only fixes are allowed. The new beta contains new features, so a new minor version is needed.

    Note that these orphaned tray icons by themselves are very much harmless. Yes, the not exiting cleanly part may be indicative of something else also not being cleaned up properly, but don't focus too much on the tray icons.
  11. ahoeben
    A more proper description would be that Cura does not close cleanly, leaving behind systray icons when you quit Cura (if I understand you correctly). The "silent crash" name was just me trying to separate this from a "memory leak", which this is not. What seems to be happening is that Cura exits ("crashes") before cleaning up the tray icon, without showing an error message ("silently")

    And a few old things that are new: * a memory leak in Cura Connect and OctoPrint was fixed. Note that the Toolbox contains a new OctoPrint plugin that works in both 3.5 and 3.6 which includes the fix. * a couple of issues related to USB printing are fixed (temperature updating during heatup sequence, and extraneous "Press to resume" messages during printing with Marlin 1.1.8+

    123d catch used “the cloud” for computation, and the servers have bee shut down 1.5 years ago. Even if you still have the software, it will not work.

    Cura 2.3 isn't very good at printing over USB to non-Ultimaker printers. It has improved some since two years ago, but it is still problematic for some printers (simply because Ultimaker does not support USB printing anymore). The printer you select from the list of printer models does not influence USB connectivity at all. If you really want to print over USB from a 32 bit Cura, perhaps it is better to use the "legacy" Cura 15.04.

    A "resolve function" is used when a setting is defined per extruder, but a global value is needed. An example of such a setting is the material_bed_temperature; each extruder can have a different material, and each material prescribes a bed temperature. So which temperature should be used if the material need a different temperature? extruderValues is a function which returns a list of (evaluated) values, one for each extruder. You would have to pick one of these values.

    In Extensions -> Post Processing -> Modify G-Code, add a "Search and Replace" script. For Search, enter ;.* (ie: semicolon dot asterisk) For Replace, enter nothing Turn on Use Regular Expressions

    The latest 32 bit compatible version that was released by Ultimaker is Cura 2.3.1. That version is about 2 years old, so my memory is a bit foggy. You should be able to add your printer as a "Custom FDM Printer" (from the Other category). But realize that a lot has been changed in the past 2 years!

    Aww, no love for the OctoPrint Connection plugin? The OctoPrint Connection plugin, available from the Toolbar, integrates OctoPrint into Cura so that you don;t have to save an intermediate gcode file. Just press "print" from inside Cura.
  20. ahoeben
    You could use the Search & Replace gcode postprocessing script and a simple regular expression pattern to remove a semicolon and everything following it. Or you could flash the printer with a decent firmware...
  21. ahoeben
    The plugin uses a similar (but different) trick to that, but adds a setting to the sidebar so you can edit the offset without having to go into Machine Settings to edit the start gcode. This setting can also be stored in profiles, so you can have different profiles with different amounts of "squish".

    It is because the plugin specifically defines it as such: https://github.com/alekseisasin/SettingsGuide/blob/master/resources/qml/SettingsGuide.qml#L16

    Unless someone wrote/writes a plugin for it, Cura does not support sending data over Wifi to your Davinci Pro. There is no (widely used) standard way to talk to 3d printers over wifi, so Ultimaker created their own for their printers. So did XYZ printing. The two "protocols" are not compatible. There's a plugin to print to most printers over the network using OctoPrint, but you would need a (small) computer connected to your printer over USB to run OctoPrint on (eg a Raspberry Pi).

    @Msuurmond is the Product Owner of Cura. The forum is - and has been for a long time - a place for the Ultimaker Community to converse. As far as I know, it is not an official support channel.

    It is provided by a plugin that has to be installed through the Toolbox.
