[Cura 3.2.1 - Is Combing realy working?!]

Hi @Dim3nsioneer,

 

Thanks for your feedback, I already tried to disabling the "avoid printed parts", but this situation with the travel toolpaths maintains.
The "optimize perimeter" was also selected.

 

 

[Cura 3.2.1 - Is Combing realy working?!]

I'm trying to print a TPU bracelet, and avoid retractions is a must, so the Combing Mode should resolve this, but I'm not getting what Combing is supposed to do.
What could be wrong?

[Dual Extrusion - Move extruder to safe position]

Github Issue #3451

https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/issues/3451

 

Application Version
Cura 3.2.1

Platform
Win 10 Pro, 64 bit

Display Driver
NVIDIA GeForce 840M

Printer
Custom printer

Steps to Reproduce
Select a dual extrusion printer and generate the gcode.

Actual Results
After the last extrusion toolpath of one extruder, the extruder will stop on top of the 3D print, waiting for the other extruder to reach the Initial Printing temperature, this could be a 5 seconds wait, and will make a little hole on the print.

Expected results
Move the extruder to a secure place, away from the print.
If a Prime Tower is selected the waiting position could be inside the tower. For a Ooze Shield the position could be xx cm from outside of the shield.

Change the layer start coordinates to near the prime tower position.

 

 

[Cura seriously needs a more visible Z seam]

Could be a simple dot representing the the z-seam on each layer, like S3D.

This would be very useful.

The gcode script for nozzle change for the Ultimaker 3 is also used on the third party printer, I think this should be excluded from this printers.

This also happens in the 3.2beta.

[Sharpest corner + Hide seam: Improvement needed?]

Hi @smartavionics,

I really like the new seam strategy "Sharpest corner + Hide seam" but I think it need even more optimization. In round faces the seam never stays vertically aligned as we can see in the image bellow. Any chance to solve this "issue"?

Thanks

[Ultimaker Cura 3.1 | Beta]

Yes, it's seems everything right.

[Ultimaker Cura 3.1 | Beta]

Yes, I cleaned 3.1 settings folder before installing it.

Folders deleted:

C:\Users\"user"\AppData\Local\cura\3.1

C:\Users\"user"\AppData\Roaming\cura\3.1

Is there another folder that I should delete?

Now I can manually import the old profiles, but there is another strange issue with the profiles. The 3.1beta is not automatically importing the profiles from 3.0.4, but is showing the settings of one of them (TPU200 (24Nov)). And when I manually imported a profile to 3.1beta - that already exists on 3.0.4, the Cura renumber the profile indicating that already exists in 3.1beta, but as we can see in the image is not showing on the Profile list. 

[Ultimaker Cura 3.1 | Beta]

Usually when profiles don't show up, Cura thinks they are not compatible with the current selected printer. We will have a look at the log files tomorrow.

It's strange because I installed the 3.0.4, configured the same exact custom printer as in the 3.1.0 beta, and did not have any problem importing the old profile, as you can see in the image below.

Reinstall 3.1 beta, and I'm getting the same problem.

Here's the log: https://we.tl/KZVTglLSVc

[Ultimaker Cura 3.1 | Beta]

Hi,

I finnaly did a clean install, and now 3.1 beta is working.

But there's another issue, I cannot import old profiles, genereted in 3.0.4.

Is strange because Cura confirmed that the profile was successfully imported, and then nothing appears on the profile list.

As you can see in the image bellow I tryed three times to import the same profile.

No, I did not manually modify the cfg file.

I think I need to do a clean install, there's a lot of old files in the system from the previous versions.

@Msuurmond

I already deleted the 'beethefirst_beetf_0.6_tpu.inst.cfg' file and I still having crashes in the new 3.1 beta (and I don't have the Cura 2.7).

I also delete the cfg file has @draysin suggested but I can only work with the new custom printers atributed on 3.1 beta. If I try to choose an old custom printers a crash will occour, as you can see in the image bellow.

Where exactly is that directory?

[Ultimaker Cura 3.1 | Beta]

@Msuurmond

I added 7 custom printers and the Ultimaker 3.

I also have the BCN3D Cura version (1.0.3).

Do you need any log file from beta 3.1?

[Ultimaker Cura 3.1 | Beta]

I'm getting this python error.

[Rectract Before Outer Wall not working - ZScar issues]

In this gcode I was not using the "Retract before_outer_wall" option (but I know that it's already working), I was testing only the "Retract at Layer Change".

[Rectract Before Outer Wall not working - ZScar issues]

Hi @ghostkeeper,

The issue with the "Retract at Layer Change" that is happeing in the same x y position where the outter perimeter will start (that contribute for the loose of the pressure in the extruder) was not solved, only the "Rectract Before Outer Wall" was corrected.

As you can see in the image, after the last extrusion (and here is where the retraction must occour) there's a long travel move, then a retraction happens, goes to new layer and prime, all this on the exact same place.
