You would need to add F parameters to your segmented G0 and G1 lines. G1 Xincrement Yincrement Eincrement F100 G1 Xincrement Yincrement Eincrement F150 G1 Xincrement Yincrement Eincrement F300 etc.

Cura does not decide to disable plugins by itself. A plugin could fail to load due to a bug or incompatibility, but then you would not be able to enable it by pressing a "Enable" button. What could have happened is that you at some point loaded a project from someone else (or yourself) who may have had that plugin disabled (inadvertently or on purpose). Disabling plugins is seen as a preference, and preferences are saved with projects. So if you load a project with the preference to disable a specific plugin, that plugin will then be disabled.

The walls of the model are too thin. It is like you are trying to draw fine lines with a fat sharpy. Best thing to do is to make the model thicker. You can also try the following: * Enable the "Print Thin Walls" setting. This will let the printer use thinner lines to print very thin parts, although they might become wider than the model intends them to be. * Reduce the "Line Width". If you're printing something that has thin walls or webbings, make sure that the line width is slightly smaller than the minimum width of that part. However reducing the line width too much may cause underextrusion due to insufficient flow. To be able to reduce the line width further, you'll need to use a smaller nozzle. * Add some Horizontal Expansion to the print. This makes the entire model wider on all sides, including the thin parts. They become less thin that way, so that they may now be printed. This does of course also ruin any dimensional accuracy and detail of the print since everything becomes thicker.

We really can’t help you if you can’t be more specific than “messing up”. We have no idea what is going on.

Version 1.2.0 of the Measure Tool plugin is now available in the Marketplace, containing the Snap and Lock features mentioned above as well as translations into French, Italian and Dutch.

You could (have someone) write a postprocessing script that checks the length of each G0/G1 move in a gcode, and if the length is more than 50 mm divide it up into multiple G0/G1 moves. However handling this in the controller (firmware) will give you much better results.

No, they are not. You can expect them in the first Cura 5.4 beta release. I do not know when that will be released.

What you see is the value changes you made from the profile you used, but not the values from the actual profile. That is all that is saved in the gcode file.

@rooiejoris, how are your planters that look like your children doing? It must have been more than 5 years ago that I saw them, and I think they were already >5 year old prints then.

I think the best you can do at the moment is to add a sequence like this to the end gcode: M140 S60 # set the bed temperature to 60 G4 S60 # wait 60 seconds M140 S55 # set the bed temperature to 55 G4 S60 # wait 60 seconds M140 S50 # set the bed temperature to 50 G4 S60 # wait 60 seconds M140 S45 # set the bed temperature to 45 G4 S60 # wait 60 seconds (... etc ...)

There are two things you can do with a gcode file: * Just open it via File -> Open..., and it will show you the toolpath (ie: the preview of the print). Not the settings though. * open it as a profile via the Profiles page of the preferences, and it will show you the settings as a new profile.

Yes, that is possible. It is however not possible to change settings and reslice the model from the gcode, because the model is not included in the gcode file.

What plastic would you use with injection molding? Perhaps that material is available for 3d printing as well.

The Print Job Naming plugin, available from the Marketplace, will let you do that (and more).

You need to disable supports first, like I said.

To celebrate more than 5 million downloads of my plugins, I am working on another workflow plugin: Tabbed Settings. This plugin adds a vertical tab-bar to the custom settings list. Each settings-category has its own tab, and each tab shows all settings in that category. You can use the up- and down cursor keys to switch between tabs (after you have clicked on a tab). In this way the plugin adds an alternative to making all settings visible and having one long list to scroll through. Obviously, when the supports are turned off, it makes no sense to show support settings; this plugin does not change that. There are two additional tabs. The first tab is almost exactly the same as the normal settings list, but it has been renamed to "Favorites". I encourage users to make an actual list of "favorite" or often-used settings for a quick overview (as the settings-list was originally intended, but that is another long discussion). These favorites use the same "visibility" profiles that Cura uses by default, and are compatible with the Setting Visibility Set Creator plugin. Start with the "Basic" set of favorites, and add other settings as you go. The other "smart category" shows a list of settings that have been changed compared to the profile you have loaded. It is a handy view to check before you start a print. If you press the little "reset" icon next to the setting value, the value will reset and the setting will be removed from this "smart category". NB: different extruders can have different changed settings. The plugin can be used with or without the Sidebar GUI plugin (though of course it is my humble opinion they are best enjoyed together). Here it is without the Sidebar GUI plugin: A test-version of the plugin can be downloaded here: https://github.com/fieldOfView/Cura-TabbedSettingsPlugin/releases/tag/v0.2.0-DEV Download the .curapackage file and drop it onto the buildplate as if you were opening a 3d model. Then restart Cura as instructed. Edit: the plugin is now available via the Marketplace. In order for the Tabbed Settings plugin to work, it does quite a bit of "nasty" patching of the original interface. These patches may break the interface when the original interface is changed. So, as a security measure, the plugin checks to see if it has been "approved" for the version of Cura you are using it with. An updated version of the plugin is usually created during the beta period, so when a new stable release of Cura is available, the plugin update is available in the Marketplace. Because updates to plugins need to be checked and approved by Ultimaker developers, there is always a bit of a delay. You can often find a prerelease version of the plugin on the github releases page for the plugin.

There's a bug in Cura 5.3 that makes the "Remove Empty Layers" setting apply when there is support material. Previous versions would simply ignore the "Remove Empty Layers" setting if supports are enabled. Workaround: * disable supports * find the "Remove Empty Layers" setting and uncheck it * re-enable supports

I don't think it is impossible, but it will be a lot of work and you will loose some functionality (such as automatic filament detection, printcore detection, the Digital Factory). Other functionality you will likely have to reimplement from scratch (tool changing, nozzle offset calibration, material changing).

In the Marketplace dialog, press the cogwheel ("manage") icon and make sure the "Camera Tool" plugin is not disabled.

The print time as shown in Cura? Then something else has changed too. AFAIK, Cura does not take the start gcode into account at all when calculating the print duration.

That is not true. You can just select the standard quality from the list of profiles. The profiles that Cura comes with can not be overwritten.

Rotate the model around the green axis by 180 degrees.

Have you tested Cura 5.3.1? A typo was fixed specifically in that version which affected that. AFAIK, you are just supposed to pick Marlin for Clipper-enabled printers.

Assuming you meant you can't plug anything into your desktop without their approval, how would that USB to Ethernet adapter work? It should work though. Connect the USB adapter to your computer and the ethernet cable to your printer and your computer should get a second network interface that can only "talk" to the printer. And the printer can only talk to your computer, not to the internet (unless you set up "network sharing" on your desktop, which I am sure IT will not let you).

The last move (G1 command) is a fairly slow extrusion (F200). The firmware remembers that speed for subsequent moves, until a new speed is specified). Most start gcodes move the head up a couple of mm after that initial extrusion. So add eg "G1 Z10 F3000" to the end of what you have now for start gcode. Having said that, an Ultimaker S5 normally doesn't have start and end gcode; this is best handled by the printer itself. It may be best to just clear both gcode snippet fields. That is the default for UM S5 printers.
