Please help i am new and want to learn
ahoeben replied to chickenschmitty's topic in Third party products & modifications
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. -
Linear advance calibration: What "Lin Advance Version" for UM2+?
ahoeben replied to gdog's topic in UltiMaker 3D printers
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"

infil artifact cut parts apart internally
ahoeben replied to gene1934's topic in Improve your 3D prints
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). -
Cura won't let me slice even though the model is in the build volume
ahoeben replied to DogeDroid's topic in UltiMaker Cura
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?

Geeetech A30T not a choice in Cura "add a Printer"?
ahoeben replied to Rootpass's topic in UltiMaker Cura
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. -
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".

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.

How to open "break retraction" in "materials"?
ahoeben replied to Zhouxingxing0762's topic in Improve your 3D prints
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.

Cura exports empty Gcode files when using dual materials.
ahoeben replied to lunacy0's topic in UltiMaker Cura
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?

Issues with new Cura software with older printer
ahoeben replied to sandrap's topic in UltiMaker Cura
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?
