The easiest solution is to log out of your account in Cura, install the plugin, and (optionally, if you need it) log back in to your account in Cura.

It is good to have you back though, even if just for a little while.

Actually, you need to create a "fork" of the Cura Github repo, create a new branch on that fork, and then submit a pull request from that branch back into the "main" branch on the Ultimaker Cura repo. You cannot create a branch on the Ultimaker Cura repo directly. Also, just to get the version terminology correct: The version scheme is Major.Minor.Patch. This is called "semantic versioning". So the current version is major version 5, minor version 6, no bugfix release. New machines definitions are included in new minor versions of Cura, so the first update that could include a new machine definition is Cura 5.7.0.

I think the reason behind that extra level of folders is that the "top" folder is the name of the "package" and the subfolder with the same name is the name of the "plugin". Theoretically a package can contain multiple independent plugins. In most - if not all - cases, a package contains only a single plugin, and they both have the same name. AFAIK, it is not actually necessary to keep the folder structure, but I admit that I have not tested that recently.

Deleting cura.cfg as a blanket solution is potentially throwing out the baby with the bathwater. If it is not necessary, then don't do it.

It is NOT NECESSARY to delete the cura.cfg file if you disable all except one display! Removing that file will cause Cura to go through its initial setup wizard when you start Cura again.

The update is now officially available via the Marketplace. I have also edited the opening post with a note about version compatibility.

Please read the documentation of the plugin: https://github.com/fieldOfView/Cura-ZOffsetPlugin On an S5, the "Extensive Z Offset Processing" option must be checked, or you get exactly the issue you have. It is checked by default for Ultimaker printers that use the "Griffin" gcode flavor.

The Python environment that ships with Cura does not include OpenCV. Even if OpenCV is installed on the system, the "Cura Python" environment cannot access it. If you need to use OpenCV in a plugin, you would have to figure out s way to somehow ship OpenCV with your plugin.

It seems you have the Z-Offset plugin installed. If so, make sure the "Extensive Z Offset Processing" is checked, or set the Z Offset to 0.

Because of how they work, both the Sidebar GUI and the Tabbed Settings plugins need to be updated for every release of Cura, or they would break the interface. I submitted new versions of both plugins almost a month ago, but they still need to be approved by Ultimaker devs. I do not know what the holdup is. You can download a prerelease of the updated plugin from github: https://github.com/fieldOfView/Cura-TabbedSettingsPlugin/releases/tag/v1.0.4-DEV Download the .curapackage, and drag and drop the file onto the viewport in Cura as if you were loading a 3d model. Restart Cura and you should have a functional TabbedSettings plugin. On a tangent: here's the prerelease for Sidebar GUI: https://github.com/fieldOfView/Cura-SidebarGUIPlugin/releases/tag/v4.6.4-DEV

It may happen again if you drag Cura to the second monitor and then close it. To prevent that from happening, untick the "Restore window position on start" checkbox in the General preferences inside Cura.

Like I said, because of the motor shaft (length and/or shape). Hmm, strange. I would contact them and ask. An Ultimaker 2 with an upgraded extruder and hotend, for all intents and purposes, is an Ultimaker 2+. I am pretty sure many Ultimaker 2 users that already had an Ollson Block upgraded with a Bondtech extruder.

You could get the Bondtech extruder instead: https://www.bondtech.se/product/bondtech-ddg-v2-extruder/

It is done in the firmware. Because there is an added gear in the extruder, clockwise becomes anti-clockwise. The firmware instructs the motor to rotate in the other direction. As far as I remember, the reason to include a new stepper for the extruder was because how the gear attached to the motor shaft (and the length of the motor shaft).

@FBAone2, I don't have permissions to access those files.

The workaround is to log out, install the plugin(s) you need, and log back in.

Unfortunately I can't read Russian, so I don't know what the buttons say and why you think that the plugin is not activated. Not all plugins have a menu in the "Extensions" menu. The Linear Advance Settings plugin adds new settings in the "Custom" settings. Use the search field on top of the Custom settings to find the Enable Linear Advance setting. If there is no Enable Linear Advance setting, please post a link to your cura.log. Please DO NOT paste the whole thing in a replay but upload it somewhere and post a link.

I perceived no rudeness in your post. I hope you enjoy the plugin.

We're just going to have to keep dropping subtle hints.

Correct. For information about why this is, read this post: https://github.com/fieldOfView/Cura-TabbedSettingsPlugin/issues/10 A version of the plugin that is compatible with Cura 5.6 has been awaiting approval from Cura devs for a couple of weeks now (they must be busy). A prerelease can be downloaded and installed manually here: https://github.com/fieldOfView/Cura-TabbedSettingsPlugin/releases/tag/v1.0.4-DEV Download the .curapackage and drop it onto the buildplate in Cura as if you were loading a 3d model. The next version of the plugin that will be available in the Marketplace will show a different message than the "such and so plugin does not work, uninstall it!" message and will point to the releases page on github.

Not my area of expertise, sorry. @rburema knows a lot about conan.

Try logging out of your account. If you are an "Essentials" user, you only see plugins that are approved by Ultimaker.

You don't need a new account; just log out of your account, download the plugin(s) via the Marketplace, and log back in if you wish to do that.

Print the model larger, with a smaller nozzle, or try reducing the Line Width.
