Autodesk was introduced G2 and G3 codes in Fusion 360 slicer.

Let's hope Ultimaker could also do it soon.

[How To Create Single Wall Prints? BUG?]

Hello @smartvionics

 

I'm working with Cura for a biological project and I'm was also suffering with the issue of the single wall with only one move, till I found this post.

 

Because i'm working with high fluidics materials, long travel moves could result in oozing material, so maybe you could help me on this.

 

For simple tests I pretend to only print some lines, like on the below image.

 

The problem is after finish print one line the extruder will return to the initial point in order to pass to the next line, is there any way to the extruder pass directly to the next nearest line?

 

red arrows: extrusion direction.

blue arrows: travel moves.

green arrows: desired extrusion and travel moves.

 

Thanks again 😉

[Ultimaker Cura | a new interface]

As I can't remember what the settings are called, I normally do show all settings and just accept that I have to scroll up and down a lot.

 

I think that is what most of the people do. 

 

This is my suggestion for the new interface.

Here's the log file.

cura_log_monitor_crash.zip

 

BTW, the Show Configuration Folder is not opening, I went manually to the Cura AppData folder.

[Introducing Ultimaker Cura 3.5 | Beta]

After config an Octoprint connection with a printer, cannot open anymore the "Monitor" page, Cura instantly crashes.
Is there any log file that I can send for debugging?
Also happens with 3.4.1.

[Save Plugins in Projects]

Hello,

 

Is there any way to save the standard post processing plugins, with the plugin state, in a Cura Project?

Thanks

[double Extruder problem]

A workaround for your first problem: https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/issues/3451

[New version of Cura stops printing mid-job]

I'm also had for two times this issue only with long prints.

On the bigger gcode that I send, the stop printing happens between the 174 and 178 mm.

It's very inconsistent since I had a lot of smal printers without any problems.

Hello @smartavionics. 

With friends help I finally had the Cura with you modifications working on Linux.
If you like you could share your Cura archives with your last "Combing" work.

 

Thanks

Since I don't have enough knowledge to solve this error, could you please generate another gcode but now for a different printer?
I send you the Cura project with the stl and the 3D printer.

Thank you very much.

Thanks again @smartavionics,

 

I will print the gcode that you send me.

So if you can, please send me the Linux archive with your Cura changes.

Hello @smartavionics,

Thanks for your prontitude on solving this issue.

 

This model is for a school project and I needed to print some of them till the end of this week. 

Is there any chance you could send me the Cura executable with your changes?

Thanks

Hello @smartavionics,

Here is the project.

[Cura 3.4.1 - Is Combing realy working?!]

Is Combing really working? why all those straight travel movements between the hexagons?

 

 

And please optimize the toolpath generator, this is a big mess on a simple print as you can see on the image below.

 

 

Thanks

Ok, I must choose a percentage of filament in order to activate this setting.

 

 

[Introducing Ultimaker Cura 3.4 | Beta]

Cannot find that setting.

 

 

But it's visible. (!?)

Where can we enable the "Infill support" ?

I'm using a BEETHEFIRST_plus, the extruder have a direct drive, and normally I don't have problems extruding any material, but with TPU is always more tricky.

Cura could also be more TPU friendly.
