The setting for this is called "Infill Layer Thickness" (in the "Infill" category).

There is no such thing for Cura 2.x currently.

Another trick is to put the whole tube into hot water to soften the filament but not the bowdentube. It is a bit more controllable than hot air.

Ga naar de "machine settings" en verander de GCode Flavor naar Reprap. Het idee van de UM2 (zonder plus) met UltiGCode is dat je op de machine bepaalt met welk materiaal je print. Cura weet daar dus niet van, en kan niet weten wat het soortelijk gewicht is van het materiaal dat je gaat gebruiken. Vandaar dat er geen gewicht wordt vermeld als je een UM2 met UltiGCode gebruikt. Voor de UM2+ is het idee van UltiGCode een beetje achter gelaten. Het blijkt namelijk dat je voor prints met verschillende materialen echt anders moet slicen voor het beste resultaat; meer dan je in de printer in kan stellen. Dus voor de UM2+ (en de UM3) is er in Cura weer een materiaal-selectie.

The feature was left unimplemented in 2.3. Unfortunately it was forgotten again in 2.4. I have implemented the feature and created a PR on github, but it remains unmerged. Show your support for the feature here: https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/pull/1243

@LePaul: Have you tried the plugin I linked to?

Cura 2.4 has a dialog asking for the number of copies. To keep Cura from reslicing when you don't want it, you could use this plugin: https://github.com/fieldOfView/PauseBackendPlugin

Because it is (1) not needed for Ultimaker printers, and (2) noone with a printer that needs it is able or willing to add it to the new Cura. I am willing to add it, but I don't have a printer that does not work with the current auto-detection. If someone wants to send me a printer, or even only a controller board to test with, I will do my best to make sure that it works with Cura.

This is not true. Cura 2.x communicates over USB to Ultimaker printers and some others just fine. There are issues connecting to some other printers, but unfortunately noone who is working on Cura has one of those printers and people who have those printers can't fix the issue.

There is currently no way to enter a string. The "textfield" widget is hardcoded to validate numbers. A "PostProcessing script" (what you call a plugin) is called when writing gcode files, after all slicing is done. It does not call the slicing engine by itself. The files you see in the "plugins" folder are much more than postprocessing scripts. Almost everything in Cura is implemented as a "plugin", from the tools (move, scale, mirror, rotate) to the connection with USB and the UM3, from the model display and layer view to the connection with CuraEngine. The PostProcessing of gcode itself is also handled by a plugin.

By "Create a machine profile", they mean a .def.json file like the ones in your Cura/resources/definitions folder. You cannot create those from inside Cura, you have to use a text-editor. Official machine definitions can define many, *many* (many!) more parameters than what you can set with the Machine Settings screen. The "Custom FDM Printer" route is meant for end-users of printers for which there is no official machine definition.

I printed the ultimate holder for the Olsson Ruby nozzle (printed in copperfill): 3d printer bling!

I think the recommendation is *warm* water, not hot water. If the temperature exceeds ~60 degrees, the PLA will start to soften, and the object can deform.

Same user directory. PSA: if you are worried about leaving your stable installation, make a backup of the configuration folder before opening Cura 2.4. You can find the configuration folder by opening Cura 2.3 and going to Help -> Show Configuration Folder.

Try the new Cura 2.4 beta: https://ultimaker.com/en/community/35485-cura-24-beta-is-here There's basic support for delta printers (elliptical build plate shape) so you no longer have to create unprintable areas yourself. There are probably still issues with this, let us know if it works for you.

No, this is not required for the camera stream to be available.

We suspect a policy on your Windows installation may prevent "signed" applications from launching "unsigned" applications. The main Cura application is signed in 2.3.1, the CuraEngine is not. I believe work is underway to have both Cura and CuraEngine signed for 2.4, which would solve this (if it is indeed your problem with 2.3.1).

I believe a better solution is being worked on for Cura 2.4

It should pause until you instruct your printer to continue (on the controller of your printer). There is no "pause time". What printer do you use?

Select the object and use the "Per Model Settings" tool. That should give you the option to select the extruder/material to use for the model.

With patience. It is impossible to bring the option back in 2.3.1 yourself, but it may return in a future version. The reason that the feature has been disabled for the UM3 is that it would be very likely that the head would collide with a previous print if it would move to/from the extruder switch bay. This would not be a problem with single extrusion prints, but Cura 2.3 does not know the difference between a single extrusion and a multi extrusion print when a multi extrusion printer is active.

> How can I put these values in? You can't. This is a partially implemented feature.

That's a fairly good suggestion for a future version. Here's another one: if you have a good idea, don't bury it in a rant ;-)

Click the star. The profile manager will open. You will see two columns of setting values; "profile" and "current". The changes are in the "current" column

My hair turned a shade lighter gray just reading your forum post ;-) Lots of words for a simple question. The star indicates that you made changes to the settings, so the current settings don't fully reflect the settings stored in the profile.
