Hi! I gave it a try Tuesday afternonn but as I was in a hurry I have not checked in detail what happened - just re-installed 5.6 as 6.0 crashed cura when trying to open a SLPRT file... sorry for no more details, will try to find time this weekend and check the log file.

upgrade it to a real "nesting" functionality would be great - similar to e.g. laser cut SW...

@thopiekar, you got PM ?

Sorry, forgot to quote - not as easy on a smartphone ? This behavior reported by kmanstudios

can confirm - same at my installation(s)

The adapted plugin is currently on the way to the gus at Ultimaker to check and distribute it. I assume, it will be in hte toolbox as soon as it is approved by them.

@thopiekar, a BIG thank you for your patience and time providing this plugin! It's a pleasure to assist...

@ahoeben, Cura devs, Seems that I experienced a (at least at my machines) reproducable crash when opening already slices/stored gcode files with 3.5 Already checked the log-file but there seems no anormalies/errors listed. Any hint?

@thopiekar is working on it, but it might take some time...

Is a huge rework or just a minor mod required to make them work again? Just as a hint how long it might take to have them available again... ?

Hi Thomas, never mind - hope it is a bit time for fun even at this long days. if it´s ok for you, I´m happy to act as a crash test bunny ? Just attach it to a PM, should work finde... b.r. chris

Hi! any news on the update? As I´m in a bigger design project right now, it gets a bit annoying to have the names not propperly managed... b.r. chris

Quite simple... download the ShowLayer.py file and safe it into ...\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\cura\3.4\scripts start cura, open an STL, go to "Extensions" => "Post Processing" => "Modify G-Code" and then use the "Add a script" button to select the "Show Layer" postprocessor When slicing something, it automatically adds M117 lines with the corresponding layer number into your script. but I guess there is a much better description/tutorial how to use postprocessors available in this forum ?

There is a postprocessor available which writes Layer Numbers into the G-Code file and displays them via M117. Maybe usefull for your application / UM3 too... https://github.com/AmedeeBulle/ShowLayer/blob/master/scripts/ShowLayer.py

? @Dim3nsioneer, kannst du da was dazu sagen?

Having the same issue and I have also no solution up to now... Z-hop is a first shot in addition to combing, but my impression is that combing or "stay inside a part" is also not working propperly. ?

as far as I remember, with 3.4.0 it was not an issue (working a lot with SW and print currently), but unfortunately have uninstalled it recently. Anyone else to assist??

hmm... strange things happens... installed the latest 3.4.1. and 0.5.5 plugin, the name of the exported files got back to "unknown" @thopiekar, could you assist? thought this issue has been already adressed... anyway - here's the issue report ?

what a sad day... R.I.P. ...

I would like to have honey comb too, but for design reasons - but that's another story... ?

... but needs an account at MakePrintable - and is not free as far as I know, but pls. correct me if I‘m wrong...

Thanks for the hint, but for me "python" is a big snake willing to choke me out if I'm to close... So frankly, no idea, as I'm not a SW guy... Maybe in a future release, some kind of selection for cloud or local and a path selection could be implemented too...

or just buy black ones - fit to everything - from suits to dirty feet :-()

Thanks for sharing!! Just minor a suggestion: could you paste the description you put on github also directly into the plugin.json? it might be easier to find the way if also in cura's toolbox this extended info is visible ?
