  1. Hello,

     

    You can do a lot of things with a postprocessing script. But it will be not so easy, You will also need to manage the E Value ( test if you are in relative or absolute extrusion mode. You will also need to manage the retract movements Z hop if you decide to use this option etc. 

     

    It's possible but it's not an quick and easy job. You can start from a sample script like this one to already have a structur and some basic subroutine : https://github.com/5axes/Cura-Postprocessing-Scripts/blob/master/GradientInfill.py

  2. Note: Cura has a unique function compared to other slicers. If the model is placed (totally or partially) under the build plate . The part is not automatically placed flat on the plate. This is intended either to allow printing a part that the bottom is not completely flat or to cut only a part of the part. Could be the origine of your issue ???

  3. Not sure of that but when I read your messages I don't see where is the issue in Cura, As it was already mentionned  with the mesh tool of @fieldOfView plugin plus the Auto orientation one from @nallath I don't see any situation which cannot be solved without spending "tons of times" to place some models on the builtplate. So I certainly missing something. A short video of your procedure should be welcome to understand your issue.

  4. Not really because in this case we change just the layer height of the SKIRT Section (Change the Z value AND the flow via M221 : I made an error in my previous post with M220 sorry) . As the Skirt doesn't support any other layer, there is on my point of view no issue to do that ( but of course this idea must be tested to be sure of that ) .

     

    Note : parameter "Support Brim Width" in this case must be set to 0 !

    And If you fix a value in this case you can have some issue but as we are talking about support, I don't think it will be a problem to have a gap of between the Skirp and the second support layer.

    My actual script to to the opposite (MultiBrim) : https://github.com/5axes/TabPlus/blob/main/resources/scripts/MultiBrim.py

  5. Hello Again the Cura Expert,

     

    In my current code I'm using :

    hull_polygon = node.callDecoration("getConvexHull")

    hull_polygon = node.callDecoration("getConvexHull")

    and 

    hull_polygon = node.callDecoration("getAdhesionArea")

     

    Works great. But I have an issue with  getConvexHull  according to the source code in case of one-at-a-time, this includes adhesion and head+fans clearance.  Is there any method to keep the "minimal" ConvexHull  and not the getConvexHullHeadFull.

     

    Best regards,
