I tried .DAE files in 15.02.1 and it worked. You judge too soon! You better do some real testing before you say the new Cura is crappy. I could try to help you locate the problem you are having, but your attitude doesn't please me. Goodbye.

Yes, it is possible to expand Cura to generate different commands for the second extruder. You can submit a Pull request at https://github.com/Ultimaker/CuraEngine.

Did you try support everywhere instead of support on buildplate only? Basic > Support type. Please send pics, I have no idea what your model and your problem look like.

The position is not configurable as the engine is right now. The starting position is chosen in a way which minimizes the amount of travel time between the last position and the first printing position in the new layer. I'm afraid adding different options for layers starts would saturate Cura with options with marginal application.

I don't understand the problem. If they are bridges they should be bridged, right? Otherwise the filament will fall down... It might try to print in thin air. What characteristic of your bridges makes them such that you don't want them bridged?

you could copy and paste the right gcode from three different gcode files. Be sure to first select Tools > print one at a time. Shouldn't be too hard...

If you select LINES support then the support consists of just straight lines, or walls with a thickness of 1 line. Are you talking about grid support? In the new Cura, there will be a third option, called zigzag, which is somewhere in between the two. As neotko rightfully noted: you can specify the support to be done by the second extruder. Or are you talking about custom designed support meshes? @Neotko: Your idea still results in double lines, which is just the thing calinb is trying to avoid.

Select 'everywhere' instead of 'touching buildplate' for support type. If that doesn't help please wait for the new Cura; this has a better support system.

The overhang viewer is separate from the actual overhang calculation. The overhang viewer just makes faces red which have an angle over 60 degrees, while the internal overhang calculation works a bit different. New overhang calculation mechanisms are in the process of development at this very moment. These mechanisms don't work on faces anymore and so there is no intuitive viewing method for showing EXACTLY what counts as overhang. The best way to see what counts as overhang is to look at the support in the layer view and use GRID-support.

- je kan de sensor een beetje verbuigen zodat hij eerder reageert op de kop, of het schroefje anpassen zodat hij eerder die sensor indrukt. - het is belangrijk om eerst je bed af te stellen, voordat je aan je eerste print begint! Op de printer: Maintenance > Build-plate

You can also drag and drop the file in Cura.

You should clone the source code from https://github.com/daid/Cura%20using%20git,%20make%20your%20edits%20and%20submit%20them%20as%20pull%20request.%20That%20way%20your%20edits%20can%20be%20automatically%20merged%20with%20the%20existing%20code,%20if%20the%20code%20is%20up%20to%20standard.

Your plugin seems very interesting! However, it is not really intuitive. Can you give a summary of the options? How do you manage the pressure? By handling the nozzle-height, or by handling the feed rate? About the options "use at [inner walls/outer walls/skins]": use what? The description "offers some options for the first layer" is not really descriptive. Try to be more concise! I'm most interested about extra pressure on the outer walls; perhaps I will include that option in Cura.

De Eiffeltoren is een flink moeilijk model. Door al die kleine stukjes gaat hij vaak retracten, wat het filament aan gort maalt. Je moet daarom wel retraction uit zetten, wat ertoe leidt dat je veel stringing hebt. Het model is erg moeilijk.

Try playing around with the Fix horrible (Tape-A and Type-B) settings in Expert settings. However, your model is most probably incorrect. I think it contains faces on the inside.

Please supplty your feature request at https://github.com/daid/Cura/issues/new

generateLineInfill is called in fffProcessor.cpp on several lines. The problem is, however, with the order of the perimeters vs the infill. When the infill is printed first, lines may appear on the surface. In the new cura the order will be configurable. Randomizing the grid seems like a bad idea. Most probably the inside of your print will then just contain angel fluff.

Try unchecking Expert Settings > Fix hirrible Type-A Go to layer-view to see if the problem persists.

The ultimaker software team is working on a solution. The new Cura will have an option which makes the handling of thin walls better.

It is difficult to say without trying, but I would guess this is a visualization bug, since the offset of the second extruder shouldn't be set to zero. You can submit an issue at https://github.com/daid/Cura/issues/new That is the right way to report a problem.

What did you do to get fractures on the black part of the printer head? I've never heard this happen. Do you have any idea what might have caused this? It's not totally clear what problems you are having with the feeder or the bowden tube. Can you elucidate? Grinding the filament is not a hardware or software problem; it is inherent to the physical properties of plastics. When the feeder is trying to move the material, but it can't or when it moves over the same patch of filament a lot of times the plastic there wears down.
