[Cura vs "Smooth Variable Layer Height"]

It's great that... as I'm absolutely a newbie on 3DP (my very first UM3x is just less than one month old)... this topic has been considered interesting :-)))

And it's nice to read that "as for the variable layer height, it's something that is pretty high on our feature list, but due to some dragons in our architecture it will require more work than is should / would have".

Effectively I think that such a feature would give benefits in:

- faster detailed prints (using thicker layers only on simple surfaces)

- more robust prints (if I'm not wrong... just learning...).

Hope you'll kill the dragon in a reasonable time, Nallath! TKS!

[Cura vs "Smooth Variable Layer Height"]

Just read an article where the new "Smooth Variable Layer Height feature" for Slic3r Prusa Edition improves surface quality while maintaining print speed.

Effectively it's not a bad idea at all... and the hadware is unaffected: only a slicer software upgrade is required.

Any idea about Cura plans?

[UM3 NFC not working]

Same problems here (UM3 Extended, just arrived): the printer sees the FIRST filament as PVA (if I load the Ultimaker PVA as #2 and Ultimaker Silver gray as #1) and says that the head#1 (AA) cannot load a (BB) material...

Any ideas?

Have I to take apart the spool holder, too?

Thanks
