Based on Didier's input (thanks!) and some of my own findings there is a next RC of the TweakAtZ plugin: https://github.com/Dim3nsioneer/Cura-Plugins/raw/master/TweakAtZ_V3.99-RC2.py Bugfixes / new features: - deals properly with some wxPython classes that may not exist in a Cura installation (MACs...) - deals properly with the M605/606 gcode on UM2s (save material settings into a numbered set) - uses values from previously executed plugins to allow for multi-layer-tweaks even on UM2s... Could some of you please test it for your own use cases? It would be nice to have the new version in Cura 15.01... thanks!

:mrgreen: Well done!

Not in my universe neither...: https://github.com/daid/Cura/tree/SteamEngine/plugins

I don't know why UM seems not to be able anymore to deliver straight rods. I had the same issue on my UMO. However, I replaced it with rods from Misumi. It is interesting that I have a 'guest' UMO atm. It is an older model with electronics version 1.5.6. But it has straight rods and concentric pulleys!!!

Starting temperature plugin? Something homebrewed... ?

Most probably Cura is looking at the wrong place for the plugins at execution. To what directory does the open plugin location button lead?

It must be an issue specific to Linux or to your installation. Did you try re-installing the package?

What is the first layer speed? 20mm/s? Would you mind posting a picture of the first layer?

Zu diesem Thema gibt's bereits einen Thread unter 'Modifications and Hacks': http://umforum.ultimaker.com/index.php?/topic/5642-auto-turn-off-when-finished/ Generell braucht so ein UMO oder auch der UM2 sehr wenig Saft, wenn er nichts macht. Wenn es interessiert, kann ich das gerne morgen mal nachmessen. Konkret wird eigentlich nur das OLED-Display und die Ultiboard-Karte mit Strom versorgt. Die LED-Leisten lassen sich ja runterregeln (aber brauchen ja auch fast so gut wie nichts). Meanwell-Netzteile wie das für den UM2 verwendete sind bekannt für einen hohen Power factor auch bei kleinen Teillasten. Es könnte also gut sein, dass der WLAN-Router mehr Strom verbraucht als durch die Abschaltung des Stroms beim Drucker eingespart wird.

Used it today for a multiple-object-print. Great improvement.

Did you try to scroll through the layers? It seems to be rather a display bug than a slicing bug as print times are the same.

Pink Unicorn (Arbeitsname) ist mehr als nur ein Update. Deshalb wird es auf Github auch unter 'Cura2' geführt. Allerdings bezieht sich PU v.a auf das GUI, das komplett neu erstellt wird. Allerdings ist es richtig, dass UM auch an der Support-Struktur-Erstellung in Cura arbeitet (Arbeitsname 'Atlas'). Voraussichtlich wird Atlas tatsächlich zum ersten Mal mit dem neuen GUI zusammen erscheinen. Es ist aber nicht auszuschliessen, dass das eine Projekt vor dem anderen fertig wird und die beiden Dinge nicht miteinander erscheinen.

Interesting. Can you say something about shadowing?

Plugins sometimes need quite some time indeed, depending on the size of the gcode file. However, if it is the plugin causing the delay the slicing progress bar should stay on 100% or very close to 100%. Unfortunately, plugins can also not be stopped during execution while the CuraEngine is able to restart when settings are changed. But: it is now possible to display an additional progress bar during plugin execution. A first example is the https://github.com/Dim3nsioneer/Cura-Plugins/raw/development/TweakAtZ.3.99-RC1.py.

The UMO+ has the same heated bed as the UM2: https://github.com/Ultimaker/Ultimaker2/tree/master/1187_Trapezoidal_Lead_Nut_%28x1%29

https://github.com/ErikZalm/Marlin/blob/fe8d8beb7a9c5288a0fe4beb32bbf32bf93e923e/Marlin/pins.h#L1576 Maybe you can make yourself a bit familiar with Github and Marlin...? The default current for x/y axes on the Ultiboard2 is 1300mA. I reduced the current on my UM2 to something like 1100mA iirc. The sound level is significantly reduced.

I guess you will have to use the M907 command: https://github.com/Ultimaker/Marlin/blob/Marlin_v1/Marlin/Marlin_main.cpp#L2941

The marlinbuilder@robtfuzz works with a slightly older Marlin version where this sensor might not be included yet. I don't know if this sensor does yet exist in the ErikZalm fork where both marlinbuilder and Ultimaker update their forks from. It certainly will at some point.

Not yet on for the UM2. It's used for the UMO for displaying the printer status. And the TweakAtZ plugin uses it already on any machine...

Nice idea. The current support in Cura works the same way (yes, the one UM people say it sucks). However, I think combing might be a feature that sees some changes with the Pink Unicorn edition. The fact that the new Cura is based on pluggable unicorn (hey, the names are not my invention... :mrgreen: ) opens new possibilities for additional functionalities. However, this means, that it makes not much sense to invest too much effort into that topic at the moment.

Maybe you get in contact with Daid and check if UM might be interested to include this solution into the main fork? It's rather close to the UMO display so I see some chances. btw: what is the empty line reserverd for? For M117 displays...? :???:

source of the design? self-made? :-P

True... :oops: Without knowing I guess it does it on the level of the layer polygons not of the print path. As plugins are postprocessors they do not have this possibility.
