This is not possible in Cura as in S3D. You cannot specify the layer to switch on/off the fans.
But, there is an experimental setting in Cura "Bridge Settings" where you can define a lot of settings for bridging and also the fan speed. So you could switch off fans completely and set it higher for bridging.

Filament material diameter is correct? 1.75 vs 2.85
You can also try a more recent version of Cura, 3.2. is also quite old.

I played a lot with CPE settings because I got similar results like yours with round objects and haven't found a solution yet. Turn off Combing helps a little bit. Here is a thread with my results if you are interested:
I have these holes more on circular objects. When I print square ones, the surface quality is quite good. I also have the feeling, that moisture is also a factor for PETG. Results are better if the filament is dry and has not absorbed too much moisture.
But I generally try to avoid PETG and use it only if I need more temperature resistance. All other technical parts I print with Tough PLA, much stronger and great surface quality, but it has the same glass temperature as PLA.

But it also happens on top layers so it isn't the problem
Ok, then it must be something else.

Danke für das Update, vielleicht hat ja jemand anderer auch noch das Problem.

For those of us who bounce from one to another, it would be nice to have it be the same.
Is your prime blob disabled per default too? It is curious that P3D has it enabled per default on his S5, so it seems it differs from printer to printer or Cura installation to Cura installation. Very strange 🙂
Or P3D has a saved custom profile with this setting?

As far as I know it is not possible to change infill with this plugin, but you can use another function in Cura.
You need a second object, a cube for example and then you define this cube which overlaps your model at the parts you want to change the infill and set the needed parameters. This cube is just to change the settings and will not be printed. Like the support blocker, but can be any model you like/need.

Speicherst du auf die Festplatte oder direkt auf deine SD Karte?
Vielleicht hat die SD Karte ein Problem?

When you use a 0.8 core, Cura changes some more settings than just the line width and therefore you will save material. I cannot say why or which setting it is exactly but maybe the support structure is different.
With an 0.8 print core you can save a lot of time. I have only the AA core but I use it a lot because it is faster than the 0.4. I often print with 0.3 layer height and get still decent surface qualities.

You just have to remove the cover on the bottom to access the pins.

Ok, that's not good, and if the printer don't start normally you are not able to update with the correct firmware. Maybe someone else has another idea, but without a serial cable like this (https://thegr5store.com/store/index.php/um3upg/usb-serial-cable-f.html) I don't know any other possibilities to unbrick the printer.

Yes it is, it is expensive, but you get a lot for it.
The UM2 feeder is often a problem and with the Olsson block you can change your nozzles if you want. Additionally, print head shafts and a new feeder stepper motor is also in the kit.

Seems it is working again...
-
Try if it helps when you turn it off completely and on again.
-
Have you tried if the printer starts normally if you turn it off and on again?
Or did you mean that it is stuck at the logo now after the reboot?
-
So you mean, your solution is like the rainbow spool, but in a controlled way. Means you slice the object with your slicer, get some information on how which filament with the exact length you should splice together and then print off this spool your object, right?
-
You could compare if the "Initial Layer Height" setting is the same for Cura 3.5 vs. 3.6 with the same default profile. I mean I read something that the initial layer height has changed in a recent version. And if it is lower than before then the first layer is squished more into the bed and the resulting line width is wider. Not sure if this could be the root cause, just an idea,

Hallo
also Cura selbst, queued nichts und schickt es dann an den Drucker. Da du Octoprint verwendest, ist Octoprint für das Queueing zuständig und du schickst von Cura nur den fertigen Gcode an Octorpint. Warum Octoprint das macht weiß ich nicht, sollte schon funktionieren was ich so höre/lese, verwende es selbst aber nicht.
Zu deinem Y Problem:
Wahrscheinlich hast du jetzt etwas viel Spiel in der Y Richtung. Wenn du dein Bett hin und her bewegst solltest du das Spiel spüren können. Kontrolliere den Zahnriemen und die Zahnräder, vielleicht rutscht das Zahnrad auch auf der Achse durch und muss fester angezogen werden. Riemenspannung etc. kontrollieren. Ich kenne deinen Drucker nur vom Namen aber im Prinzip kochen alle nur mit Wasser, also wird es so etwas in der Richtung sein.

I think more like this:

One spool, different colors.

If if anyone knows how I can go about implementing this in the code please let me know. Do I download it on git hub and make the change and push it back for possible inclusion. I haven’t looked at the source for cura before.
As far as I know, it is not a function of Cura, the firmware itself is doing the prime blob. In Cura/Gcode you just say if you want a prime blob or not, but not how.

Checked it again, on the S5 the prime blob is disabled for me in the default profiles. On the UM3 the prime blob is enabled per default.

It depends on your printer, if your printer has a filament sensor, then it will stop and wait to load new material. If not, then the printer will finish your print job, also without filament.

By the way; are you running the latest firmware; if not I encourage you to update it.
As far as I know, there was a bug which was fixed with the latest firmware. Not all S5 printers had this issue but I read about problems with a non-functional slider.

Try to turn off jerk and acceleration control, this should help with the corners. The downside of turning off is, that you could get some ringing on the side after the corner (direction change) due to higher vibrations, but test it.
And keep the speed at 30mm/sec for these tests.

Ja CPE und PETG ist sehr ähnlich und CPE kannst du für alle gängigen PETG Materialen verwenden. Den Rest stellt stellst du dann eh in Cura ein. Das Profil am Drucker brauchst du ja nur zum Laden/Entladen.
Fan Control Extremely Limited
in UltiMaker Cura

I think it was already there with 3.6, but I cannot check it, because I am using currently 4.0 beta.
