    Ultimaker Cura 5.5 beta released

    in UltiMaker Cura

    Posted

    On my windows post I still have this problem with the new plugin: CuraEngineGradualFlow. Cura crashes and I have in the messages : 

    CuraEngineGradualFlow\GradualFlowPlugin.py", line 41, in usePlugin
    return any([extr.getProperty(f"{constants.settings_prefix}_gradual_flow_enabled", "value") for extr in machine_manager.activeMachine.extruderList if extr.hasProperty(f"{constants.settings_prefix}_gradual_flow_enabled", "value")])
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'extruderList'

     

    Am I the only one with this problem?

    Regarding the link https://support.makerbot.com/s/topic/0TO5b000000Q4utGAC/ultimaker-cura, this shows greatly how support is disqualifying the own effort. This page was maybe meant as an useful entry point but a visitor only understand there are no articles available. Clicking the links above (e.g. Cura print settings) will guide the user to the correct place but most users don't get this because they where told "no articles found".

    Could be an issue regarding the browser you use , With Google Chrome or Edge I don't have this result.

    Platform model duplicated when moved

    BreadthFirstIterator You mean DepthFirstIterator ?

     

    Is you use DepthFirstIterator you must check if the node "isSliceable"

      

    Me = CuraApplication.getInstance()
for node in DepthFirstIterator(Me.getController().getScene().getRoot()):
      if node.callDecoration("isSliceable"):
            node.setPosition(Vector(position.x(), position.y(), position.z()))

     

    Note : setPosition should only "Move" the node so if you also copy there is something else in your code

    Yes in 5.X it's now :

      

    .\share\cura\resources

     

    Note form the CuraEngine Help message : 

    In order to load machine definitions from custom locations, you need to create the environment variable CURA_ENGINE_SEARCH_PATH, which should contain all search paths delimited by a (semi-)colon.

    adding infill option

    in UltiMaker Cura

    Posted · Edited by Cuq

    I don't think it's possible to do that with the standard functions of Cura. But you can use Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V  to copy  the Modifier. One issue the new instance is not linked with the Model so if you move the model the Modifer doesn't move.

     

    Via a plugin it would be possible, but the number of user would be limited on my point of view and as I don't use this function so many times this is not the think I will works on.

     

    For the previous release they where a plugin : SmartSlice ( Not free) which was supposed to calculate and define automaticaly different infill to enforce the strength of the part. But not sure it have been a lot of success in a opensource/free world. Anyway it doesn't seems to be still available.

    Cura 5.4.0 not incorporating material print bed and extruder temps into gcode

    in UltiMaker Cura

    Posted · Edited by Cuq

    There is many post concerning this issue. As soon as you define a temperature in your profile, this value overwrite the material datas. So if you are using a non standard profile most of the times you cuts the link between the material temperature and the parameter value of you current parameter value.

     

    To solved this problem you must install the Material Settings plugin from @fieldOfView (https://marketplace.ultimaker.com/app/cura/plugins/fieldofview/MaterialSettingsPlugin) and then you will have the possibility to access to a right clic button function (Use value from material)  on the printing temperature and bed temperature to force the value from the material datas

    Error: there are no compatible profiles with this extruder configuration

    in UltiMaker Cura

    It's not only for the Ender 5 but for every Creality machine.  In the Extruder definition for these machines there is no ASA configuration defined in standard.

    You can find some configuration for PLA / ABS/ PETG / TPU  but No ASA , ToughPLA, PC, Nylon  etc.  If you want to use ASA definition you must add some Quality configuration for this material. base_0.4_ASA_standard.inst.cfg.zip

    Strange ,  When I load this material in Cura I have something totaly Different , The Default Color is Green and the Filament diameter 2.85 ( That's why why it shouldn't be  compatible with your Ender-5 extruder) . But You have a different configuration, With a price , the name itself is different. Is it an old material configuration file ?    Normaly you should event not see this material in the list if your Ender 5 is activated.
