  1. You didn't try just removing the files you added? For future reference, those files are in ~/Library/Application Support/cura
  2. * find the ip address of your printer on the network * in a browser, visit http://[printer ip address]:8080/?action=snapshot If that does not show an image, there is something wrong on the printer; either the hardware or the software. I think the software side of the webcam is pretty robust, so my first guess would be that a cable might have come disconnected.
  3. Doh! That issue has been fixed. The next release of Cura should have the icon for the postprocessing plugin.
  4. Oh, wait, I think I know what is going on. The folder the files are in *must* be named "PauseBackendPlugin", not "PauseBackendPlugin-master"! The -master bit is added to the foldername by github if you download a zip. I have updated the installation instructions.
  5. In the "Show Configuration Folder" folder, there should be a stderr.log file that I am interested in. Could you post that somewhere that I can have a look at it? Don't paste it here, it will muck up the forum. PM me a dropbox link, or use pastebin.com
  6. This is what the "active post-processing plugin" indicator should look like. I have heard that for some, the icon does not load. What platform are you on?
  7. Why do you need to ungroup? That breaks the models apart again. In the merged object, you can Ctrl-click to select a single object, and then you can use the Per Model Settings tool to make the settings you need. Alternatively, if you insist you want to ungroup the objects after merging, you can turn off the options "Automatically drop models to the build plate" and "Ensure models are kept apart". But the whole intention of the "merge" functionality is to keep the objects merged/grouped.
  8. @Nallath is referring to the previous version of this plugin for 2.1. I did not get the functionality working, so in a frustrated mood I made a plugin that just placed a white square over the progressbar so you did not see it, thus shoving the problem under the carpet. We got a few giggles out of one user reporting that it worked very well. I only posted a link to that version once, so I don't think many people saw it before. Jokes aside, the current version of the plugin actually works, by preventing CuraEngine from being started when the plugin is in "paused" state. This gives the user the chance to make multiple setting changes, arrange objects, etc without the models being resent to CuraEngine every time.
  9. There's a plugin for Cura 2.3 or newer to print directly to OctoPrint. The plugin is not compatible with Cura 2.1.2. You need Cura 2.3 or newer. For the UM2+, make sure you read the readme of the plugin! https://github.com/fieldOfView/OctoPrintPlugin/blob/2.3/README.md
  10. To install this, launch Cura and open the "Help->Show Configuration Folder" menu option. Inside the configuration folder there should already be a folder named "plugins". Download the plugin from github, and extract it in that plugins folder, so you have [config folder]/plugins/PauseBackendPlugin/README.md (etc). Note that it is important that the folder is named "PauseBackendPlugin", *not* eg "PauseBackendPlugin-master". Unfortunately github adds that -master bit if you download a zip of the project.
  11. I have released a small plugin for Cura 2.x that adds a pause/resume button next to the Save/Print button in the lower right corner of the sidebar: https://github.com/fieldOfView/PauseBackendPlugin Press the pause button, and Cura will stop slicing and no longer restart slicing until you press the button again. The implementation is a bit of a hack, so it may break with future versions (but I will do my best to update the plugin if/when it does break).
  12. Cura 2 only has autodetect for com-ports and baud rates. This works fine for Ultimaker printers. It may not work for all fdmprinters by other manufacturers, but the developers at Ultimaker don't have access to all fdmprinters by other manufacturers, so they can not fix the issue. Cura is open source, so the hope is that either these other manufacturers or users of their printers will help fixing Cura to work with these printers.
  13. Ok, then let me put it this way; unfortunately this specific gcode file can not currently be imported as a profile, because it was written by an older version of Cura.
  14. 不久 From what I've read on github, I would think in a month or so.
  15. Give me a "C", give me a "u", give me a "r", give me a "a", give me a "2", give me a ".", give me a "4" What do you get? Workspace saving!
  16. You can't. The feature has not been fully implemented in Cura, and the field is currently non-functional.
  17. Then I don't have much hope for you. That machine is *old*
  18. Cura 2.4 will use the video stream. It will also stop streaming when not displaying the monitor tab.
  19. Cura 15.04 probably still works with that gpu
  20. I have never used Simplify 3d, can't help you there.
  21. What version of Cura was this gcode sliced with? The import gcode as profile functionality in Cura 2.x does not support importing gcode from legacy Cura (yet); only gcode produced by Cura 2.x is supported.
  22. It's not white, but there are ready-to-go OctoPrint kits: http://www.watterott.com/en/Raspberry-Pi-3-OctoPrint-Bundle I do get your point though. The thing is, that upgrade does not exist, and OctoPrint does.
  23. Another workaround is not having your USB cable plugged in all the time. Only plug it in when you need it.
  24. I guess you are printing over USB? This is not officially supported for the UM2 family. Try putting your files on a SD card, and print from the SD card instead. If you still want to print over USB, go to the Printers pane of the preferences, go into the Machine Settings, and select Reprap (Marlin/Sprinter) as gcode flavor.
