[Printing Order Of Mutiple Objects]

8 Years in, and still no proper way to change the object list order (AKA, the print order of objects in One at a Time mode).

 

I print clips. An EFF ton of clips. I have to print them one at a time in case of failure (better to have some finished products than screw up the entire batch). I've painstakingly re-arranged the models in reverse-loaded order. It works. Its ok.

 

Preferably though: We have a window (like photoshop has "layers") full of "objects" and we just drag and drop them up and down the list until they are in the order of printed preference. Or, add it to the context menu. Or, have it be a clickable window that only appears once the "One at a Time" print sequence is selected. Or, go back to the OLD way from 5 years ago where it was order "scanned" from left to right -- even that made more sense than loaded object order.

 

Please, please reconsider this ask.

[Cura Profile Location]

This is untrue. The location that you mention/found is where default profiles are stored, not where user-created configuration data is stored. Cura cannot even write to the location you mention (unless you launch Cura with administrator privileges, which you should not do). The user-created configuration data is stored where it has been stored since Cura 2.5:

 

%APPDATA%\cura, in a folder with the name of the Cura version. So in most cases, for Cura 5.0, that would be C:\Users\[your username]\AppData\Roaming\cura\5.0

 

I cannot stress enough that it is inadvisable to change files in the Program Files\Ultimaker Cura 5.0\ folder.

 

It is true if you intend to edit boundaries that are restrictive after installing a different size bed, such as an Ender Extender. I have to edit it in the new program files location after every update to Cura. This Cura-Cure does the dirty work for all machine profiles that are relevantly inhibited by clip boundaries.

For those wandering in After June 2022, Ultimaker Cura 5.0.0 stores them in the following newer, dumber, non-appdata location:

[Cura adding "floor layer" to my print]

Don't mean to necro-post, but I personally solved this by UNchecking the 'Mesh Fixes' setting in cura called "Union Overlapping Volumes". After this, I was able to print a "house model" like object without it producing a "floor layer" (aka, infill where it isn't needed).
