Awesome! Thanks for all of your replies. I'm going to give SwapAtZ a shot tomorrow (it seems to works in Cura 14.09 in the layers panel).
Yeah +1 for the micro-structures video. I would give simplify3d a go aside from being poor haha.

Hi
I would like to be able to dynamically change infill density based on the height of an object, are there any plugins that do this already? Tweak at Z doesn't seem to support infill density as a setting.
Thanks for your help

Involuntary retraction
in UltiMaker Cura
Posted
Hi
I'm using an Ultimaker Original and using the Pause at Z plugin to stop the print so that I can insert nuts into a print. I want the plugin to perform an extrusion before starting to print a layer so that the filament comes out cleanly. The issue I'm having is that if I do any kind of extrusion, just before printing the first layer after pausing, the Ultimaker does a huge retraction, defeating the purpose of doing the extrusion in the first place!
Here's some example code:
If I remove this line: f.write("G1 E5 F200\n"), then the Ultimaker wont do a retraction before starting the next layer. If its there, it will extrude and then when the next layer starts it will do a retraction.
Retraction is off in the print settings.
Anyone have any idea why this would be?
Thanks for your help
Jamie
