If Cura is already running, you cannot run the installer again because the installer will not be able to replace files that are in use. But if you are already running Cura, you should not have to run the installer again.

The Ultimaker 2 and 2+ firmware do not support linear advance. There is a very old implementation of ADVANCE in the code, but it is disabled in the official firmware releases: https://github.com/Ultimaker/UM2.1-Firmware/blob/f6e69344c00d7f300dace730990652ba614a2105/Marlin/Configuration_adv.h#L229 You could compile your own firmware from the source and try to enable it, but I would not expect much from it.

That package is not maintained by Ultimaker, and it is missing dependencies. These missing dependencies don't just affect the Measure Tool plugin. Cura 4.4.1 is also more than 2 years old. Use the AppImage provided by Ultimaker instead of that package.

What have you tried, and where do you get stuck?

Do you get a panel when you click on the ruler? What does the panel say?

Please post a link to your cura.log file, which can be found via Help -> Show configuration folder. (probably in ~/.local/share/cura/4.4. By the way, any reason in particular that you are using Cura 4.4, instead of Cura 4.13?

See the settings named "Enable prime tower" and "Support horizontal expansion"

Maybe it is because it is friday afternoon, and I have had a beer, but I am having a very hard time understanding what your problem is. Perhaps you could share one or more screenshots of the problem (as opposed to what "it" should be).

@liamwerk7676, I have no idea what you are referring to. What did you click, what went away, and how does any of that relate to the topic in this thread?

No.

Cura is reserving room for a brim and/or some other details. See this article for more information: https://support.ultimaker.com/hc/en-us/articles/360013799339-How-to-print-the-maximum-build-volume-in-Ultimaker-Cura

Please be specific. What do you mean by "it won't open"? Which of these two options happens: * Cura does not open * Cura opens, but the file is not loaded?

That depends on if someone will contribute a printer definition for it. Ultimaker only creates printer definitions for its own printers. All other printer definitions are contributed by 3rd parties; either printer manufacturers, or community members.

I have created a pull request to remove the material diameter from the quality profiles here: https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/pull/11677

The problem is in this line in the Anycubic Chiron profiles: https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/blob/4.13/resources/quality/anycubic_chiron/anycubic_chiron_normal.inst.cfg#L32 The material diameter should not be set in the quality profile. It overrides whatever is set in the Material preferences. From a cursory look, this error is only present in the AnyCubic Chiron profiles. So the subject of this thread should be "Material Settings not considered with Aycubic Chiron printers".

Values in the material can be overridden by what you set in the "sidebar", or in a custom quality profile. If you save a project and post a link here, we can see if that is the case.

You are guessing incorrectly. Loading settings from projects is currently "all or nothing". It would be nice if there were options to eg keep the current preferences, what settings are visible, and the machine settings. There are no such options. The whole state of the application is imported from the project file. All that dropdown does, is letting you select what "printer instance" these settings are loaded in to; you can have multiple of the same printers configured in Cura.

Well, that's how it works in Cura. Cura can't read your mind and know what settings you do or don't want to load from the project. It would be nice if you could select from a list of options which (sets of) settings you want to load from the project when loading a project.

Do you get an error message when Cura crashes? The log does not show any information about the actual crash, which probably means the crash happens in the code of a 3rd party library instead of in the Cura code. Those crashes are always harder to fix. Have you tried typing in a size/scale instead of using the toolhandles? For the record: I cannot reproduce this problem.

Are you perhaps loading old projects? Projects contain all settings, including start & end gcode.

This setting is only relevant for Ultimaker S5 Pro bundle printers. It will do nothing on other printers.

I don't understand your reply. Could you perhaps rephrase it, using some punctuation and capitals so I can at least see where one sentence ends and a new one begins? It may also help to say what problem you are trying to solve. Because you asked how to get a ticker first layer, but hearing how to do that is apparently not what you were after.

Thanks for uncovering a problem with the Linear Advance Setting plugin. It would be great if you could open an issue here: https://github.com/fieldOfView/Cura-LinearAdvanceSettingPlugin/issues

The default profiles are "read only". You cannot change them from within Cura. You can change them by editing specific files, but I recommend that you don't go that route. Those changes would be overwritten if you ever update Cura. Perhaps if you elaborate on that, and say what you are trying to achieve, we can help you solve your problem in a better way than editing the default profiles. What plugin did you add, and why do you think it only works on default profile settings?

Perhaps we're all looking in the wrong place. Perhaps the issue is not the firmware doing something wrong, but the SD-card you use could be corrupting the gcode file when it is being written to it. Could you try a different SD-card?
