Hallo zusammen,
ich nutze Cura nun schon eine Weile, aber ich bin bisher nicht so richtig hinter das Konzept zur Material- und Profilverwaltung gestiegen,
insbesondere was die Drucktemperaturen betrifft.
Beispiel:
Ich speichere mir im Materialmanager zu einem Material die Start- und Drucktemperatur.
Ich erstelle mir ein Profil, fasse dort die Temperatur nicht an.
Dann funktioniert es soweit, dass im Profil die Temperatur aus dem Wert der Materialverwaltung übernommen wird.
So weit, so gut...
Grundsätzlich: ich spreche hier von einem Materialtyp (PLA), aber unterschiedlichen Herstellern/Farben etc. und somit unterschiedlichen benötigten Temperaturen!
1. Problem:
Sobald man die Temperatur im Profil verändert, wird der Wert aus den Materialien nicht mehr übernommen.
2. Problem:
Ich erstelle mir verschiedene Profile mit unterschiedlicher Höhe und Druckgeschwindigkeit und benötige somit auch unterschiedliche Temperaturen.
Bedeutet, ich passe die Temperatur im Profil an, was wiederum zur Folge hat, die Temperaturen sind nicht mehr pro Material änderbar.
Frage: muss ich denn für jedes Material ein neues Profil mit Geschwindigkeit und passender Temp. erstellen? Welchen Sinn macht dann die Materialverwaltung,
da muss ja alles doppelt angelegt werden?
Übersehe ich etwas? Wie handhabt ihr die Verwaltung von Materialien und Profilen?

Please keep in mind that layer view can be pretty slow on older computers. I'm not sure an automatic switch after slicing (assuming non-automatic slicing) is good in all cases.
Same as slice automatically, enable/disable checkbox in settings would help with this.

Hey there,
i have a wish for Cura, because i didn't four it yet.
I want Cura to go automatically to Layer View after slicing.
I hope thats possible.
Thanks and regards

Maybe it is a relative/absolute problem in height? i can't solve this problem till now.
It looks like the offset is ignored an the table moves to a set height.

Yes i'm using 1.75mm and i set this in filament and printer settings

Hey there,
i have the problem with cura, that the first layer is always printed with to less plastic.
In S3D i have set a with of 200% for the firstlayer, that works fine. In Cura i set this also and
the printed line is much smaller.
All settings are the same as in S3D, first layer height, nozzle, wallthikness...
I dont know whats wrong in the Cura settings. maybe someone here have a hint for me.
Tanks

I tested today and have to say, Cura 3.2 is a very big step forward in speed on my Mac.
It started very fast and changes in the Settings going very fast also. I like it a much

Hey there,
i like Cura, but change settings is horrible slow. Autoslicing is disabled.
I load a model and will change some variables like temp, speed etc.
but after every variable i change i have to wait round about 10sek until i can
do something other in cura.

Hey there, Cura 3.1 (release) ignores my temperature settings for the nozzle.
Cura always set the temp to 220°C in the gcode file.

Use infill meshes. Take care: this is not very easy, but once you get it...
A short how-to:
Unselect "keep models apart" and "drop models to build plate" in Cura preferences
Import a second object (for example a simple cube)
Put Cura in "custom mode"
Select the cube, and use the button "per object settings" on the left side
Select "Infill Mesh" and enable that setting
The cube now turns transparent gray.
Position the cube to overlap part of your model. It should overlap with the section that you want to change the infill for.
Also with "per object settings" select the option "infill density"
Set it to the desired value. All is more or less illustrated in the screenshot below
The picture shows a cube on the buildplate with infill 20%. Locally, with a rotated 2nd cube, the infill % is raised to 100%.
What happens is that the volume where the cube intersects with your object is locally sliced with different infill.
Thanks a lot. I'll try this tomorrow
-
Yes i know this. But i meant in one model.

Hey there,
i use Cura 3.1 for testing. I came from S3D.
A question i can't find a answer, how can i manipulate the infill on one object for different part sizes?
What i mean as example, i have a big cube and a small cylinder on top of the cube. If i set the infill to 30% it is fine for the cube, but the cylinder has no infill than. In S3D i can make different settings for different heights, but i cant find something like that in Cura. I saw the gradual infill option, but i don't helps.
Maybe it would be possible, to have a option, the infill is calculated from the volume of at a layer height?
-
Yes i did and it works, but i have to set everything on every print.
I'm looking for a possibility to set a gcode snippet and then only to say insert thins on layer 40, or layer XY ...
As example, i have a third fan and i want him to blow on layers with small details. So i want to tell simply: power on at layer X; power off at layer Y; on again on layer Z
I know i can do it with search and replace and i do it this way, but maybe there is a more simpler way.
-
Hey there,
is it possible in Cura, to add a gcode command on a special layer or height?
I like the post processing plugin, but i can't do it with it. Is there another way?
-
Sounds good, thanks a lot

Hey there,
i try'd to save a sliced file to Octorpint with Cura, while the printer is printing.
I get the error message "Octoprint is busy, Unable to start a new job."
Direct printing on upload is disabled, i only want to save the file on Octoprint.
Is this a Cura Problem or a Octoprint Problem, that i can't save a File to Octo while it is printing?
-
Most times, i switch only between layer height. I print most materials in same speed, but with different temperatures.
I think it should be a user decision, if the temp in profiles takes advantage.
The main temp should be set in the material settings. If i don't set different temps in the profile, the material temps should used.
-
Oh really? So i have for every Material to make some Profiles like Fine/Normal/Fast?
That means, if i have 5 different Materials with different Temps i have to create 15 Profiles?
That makes no sense. So i hope the developers would think about, to include the temperature into the Material Settings, not in Profile Settings.
-
Hey there,
i set for every Material a Print Temperature in the Manager.
But if i switch Materials, this setting is ignored and saved in the Profile Manager.
It makes no sense, because i make this setting for a material. So i have to make
for every Material a Material Setting and a Profile Setting.
-
Thanks, i deleted it
-
Hey there,
is it possible to remove the default materials?
The lot of materials are very confusing and i don't need it.
-
But if there a mm/inch problem, the size of the object would not be correct?
My Printer uses mm as default, in S3D there is no problem.
-
Thanks for the answers. I saw this Bug yesterday, when 2.6.1 comes out.
I installed it and the problem is solved.
But now i get a new Problem, the print speed is way to fast.
60mm/s in Cura is like round about 100mm/s in S3D.
I set the first layer speed to 10mm/s in Cura to get bed adhesion and its like 50mm/s in S3D. I try'd to set acceleration in Cura on/off, but makes no difference.
So i can't set the print speed correctly.

Is there an other hint for me?
Material und Profile (Verständnisfrage)

Was ich rausgefunden habe, man muss nur in dem File zum Profil den gespeicherten Wert für die Temperatur löschen. Dann wird wieder der Wert aus den Materialeinstellungen genommen.
Ich habe jetzt einfach ein Plugin geschrieben um das Problem mit den unterschiedlichen Temperaturen zu umgehen.
Es wird in den Profileinstellungen unter Material ein Feld erzeugt, wo man einen Differenzwert zur Drucktemperatur eingeben kann. So muss man das eigentliche Temperaturfeld nicht anfassen und die Werte aus den Materialen werden weiterhin automatisch übernommen und für das Profil wo ich mehr oder weniger Temp brauche setze ich über dieses zusätzliche Feld den Differenzwert.
Bsp: Für ein Material ist eine Drucktemperatur von 200°C eingestellt, was zb für eine Druckgeschwindigkeit von 80mm/s ok ist. Erstellt man ein weiteres Profil für diesen Materialtyp, es soll aber schneller gedruckt werden und eine höhere Temp. ist benötigt, dann kann man in dem Profil für diese Geschwindigkeit einfach +10°C eingeben. Die entsprechenden Temp Werte im gcode werden dann auf 210°C geschrieben.
Veröffentlichung folgt.
