[How to force retracts for ALL travel moves?]

Thanks!

I set „Max comb distance with no retract“  to something different than zero and it works! 🙂

[How to force retracts for ALL travel moves?]

Is it possible to use this setting to avoid these diagonal travel lines on the first layer?

Thank You. I’ll test it.

Nice to know. ?

Hi Uhlhorn, this is what I found annoying too.

That's why I started to write a post processing plugin to use a different implementation to achieve something similar as Infill Layout Thickness...

Ah, interesting. Is it working? Is it possible to get this and where?

[Dramatic speed increase possible with better quality simultaneously!]

It works. ?

 

But what are these tiny yellow things on the rough infill? They need a lot amount of time. How can I remove them?

(Yes I know, removing them will reduce the strength of the printed component.)

@Matt: No problem, don’t worry! All is fine. ?

@mastory I wanted to give Cura a time advantage over the competition, nothing else. ?

I assume the idea is that you print outer perimeters at 0.1mm but print infill with 0.3mm only every 3rd layer.

Yes, this was the idea.

Okay, other people had the same idea. I didn’t know. So this idea has been implemented already.

Hi Cura developers!

 

I found a way to print 0.1 mm resolution with nearly the print time of 0.3 mm resolution. I wanted to patent it, but a patent is too expensive for me. So I will give the idea to You for free. ?

We (the community) can use Cura for free. So I think I can give back something. ? Cura is my favourite slicer. And I like to see this idea in the best slicer of the world.

 

So, If You are interested in my idea to get 0.1 mm resolution with nearly the speed of 0.3 mm resolution, please answer to this post. I will give You the idea for free. But I don’t want to publish it here in the forum, because You should have time to develop this function before other can copy it. ?

 

Are You interested? The solution is very easy, You will not believe! But it can only found by a "out of the box" thinker.

[Issues in Localized Version of Cura]

Ah, okay.

But a developer can exchange the strings. If the OS sends „Wechseldatenträger“ to Cura, the application can replace it with an other word.

 

if (drive=="Wechseldatenträger")
       { loc_drive«“SD-Card"<<endl;
       }

 

And when the people, who localize the app, would using „h“ instead of „Stunden“ it would solve the problem too (see screenshot).

Problem is the OS does not tell Cura if it is an SD-card, or a usb stick, or even a usb harddisk

Maybe, but this is not the subject of this thread. ;-) And it seems to be incorrect too: Cura for Mac is able to identify the kind of volume.

For the UM3 it needs to be a USB stick, as it doesn't even have a card reader.

I am not using the UM3, so this does not matter (and it is not the problem discussed here.)

 

The subject is an UI issue in the localization of Cura.

[Issues in Localized Version of Cura]

No, there are no totals (see screenshot).

 

But it is possible to switch to „Speichern in Datei“ (save to file) instead of „Speichern auf Wechseldatenträger“.

(see screenshot)

 

The developers should replace „Wechseldatenträger“ with „SD-Card“, it’s a lot shorter! ;-)

As a workaround for the first issue, the print information labels have a tooltip.

 Yes, but only with the the values of the different types of lines, not with the value of the whole part. This is not really a workaround.

A workaround is to use the englisch version.

[Bug? Slicing Top to Bottom!]

Okay, it can be left. I’m not embarrassed. ;-)

[Issues in Localized Version of Cura]

Thank You. :-)

The developers can use „h“ for hour and „min“ for minutes. It is common in Germany too.

[Bug? Slicing Top to Bottom!]

Oh, I found the reason for this behaviour: It is possible to drag the sliver from two sides! And I pulled the wrong side!

 

How can I delete a post?

[Issues in Localized Version of Cura]

There are two issues in the german localized version of Cura:

1. Print job information with print time and material cost is truncated in the german version. So it is not usable!
2. In the german localized version of Cura the application menu is defect: The menu items „About…“, „Preferences“ and „Services“ are missing.

See screenshots.

 

 

[Bug? Slicing Top to Bottom!]

Hi there,

 

since yesterday I use Cura and now I have a problem: Cura is slicing now from top to bottom. And I do not know why! I also not able to bring the normal behaviour back.

Does anyone have an idea what to do?
