Year, when clicked my machine gets stucked and after some time Windows comes up with a message that the program is Unavaiable ... and it never comes back ! THX - it woukld be nice to have this solved.

I just updated to 4.11 and got this RED BLOB with a '1' at the Markedplace butten ! WHat is it and how do I get rid of it ? If I click on the Marketplace butten after some time the program crashes !

I mostly is concerned how to GLUE PETG part together ... I wonder if I can get dichloromethane here in Denmark without special licence 😞 But thx anyway !

I'm using Fusion360 to draw my objects fore 3D printing using Cura latest version. In Fusion I often draw my "objects" as more than one part that when printed has to be glued together as ONE object. In Fusion I can only prepare the G-code file ONE part at a time resulting in TWO (or more) G-code files. How can I 'add in' more than one G-code file to be printed at a time ?

When you print with PLA you can smooth your printed object with ACETONE and TOO you can use ACETONE for gluing PLA parts together. Anyone know of some 'stuff' to use for same purposes when printing with PETG ?

If you read my last 2-3 postings you'll see I too cleaned the nozzle and MAYBE put it together a little different so it's a little shorter/longer - but that it should have THIS effect is strange I think - TOO I upgrated Cura and now I did it again - updated to 4.4.0 - never do more than ONE change a a time ... but I did and now it works.

I had to print a file with this G-code in it: M502 M500 M501 then do a manual and an automatic levelling - WHY - I don't know - but it worked !

I'm running Windows and it used to be NO problem starting Cure automatically - but.4.0 wont do it !

I had it to function with the earlier version too - but not Cura 4.4.0

Wht would the new Cure 4.4.0 NOT start automaticelly from Fusion360 - nothing happens at all !

I've been away for a while but now I'm back and want to get on with 3D-printing ... but first I have to find out, what is wrong ! Because I did NOT change anything from the RED (fine and OK print !) to the GRAY ratchet (useless print !) I don't think I should change any 'settings' - and later I did delete ALL my profiles and use the WHat I HAVE done right before the problems started is cleaning the extruder - when I put it all together again I maybe changed a little of the position of the TIP of the nozzle compared to the BED. I therefore did a MANUAL levelling of the bed 3-4 times and then did a automatic levelling in the menu BUT do I need too to somehow 'reset' something concerning the "Home-position" in the SW ?

Now I deleted all my profiles and choosed the "Super quality" and I STILL have this problem ... the first 30-35% layers are too thick - see the picture: What is wrong here ????

No one knows anything here ?

I can try changing a lot of settings, but I think this sudden shift in print quality after - I don't know maybe - 30% of the layers for BOTH the ratchet AND the turnkey - it's very strange ... and has this anything to do with "Max comb distance" - I see no connection there ? Notice I did NOT change anything in the profile from the RED to the GREY ratchet !

Here it is for the rachet Rachet.3mf

I've had many problem since I updated from Cura 4.2.1 to Cura 4.3.0 ! Now it seems like my first 30% of the layers are way too thick ! In Fusion 360 I have drawn a ratchet, sliced it with 4.2.1 and printed it out (the red one on the pictures) and it's OK and well shaped ! Now I try the same Fusion file and slice it with 4.3.0 and the SAME PROFILE - the gray one on the pictures - it looks like _BEEP_ ! Look at the end of the gray shaft - the first many layers are too thick and it gives this "light bulb like" shape of the end the shaft - it should be round and it was when I printed with 4.2.1 ! (Sorry for the shaft is turned upside down !) I don't think I can find any wrong settings in Cura and on the Cura screen there is nothing like it to see at all. I'm not at all skilled in reading G-code - so please can anyone tell me what's wrong here ? TurnKey.gcode Ratchet.gcode

I think updating to 4.3.0 messed up my profile ... most of the settings was NOT what I did set up in the 4.2.1 version ! I changed it and tried a test print and it looks very much better ! Thx for your advices all of you !

First Layer = 0,2mm else 0,12mm I'm running with a 0,4mm nozzle I think I have to check all these settings - wonder why I didn't see the problem in Cure 4.2.1 - I use the excact same profile here in Cura 4.3.0

Oh, I feared that ... I'm not to analyzing G-code. Could it be that the total thickness of the "material" = the problematic top layer+infill+buttum layer is (only) 2,2 mm and I have defined both top and buttom layer to be 2 mm each and made up of 4 layers each in my settings ? I think I have to do some test prints of some smaller object and measure them carefully - something is wrong here !

I can see that in my Cura slicer too but I see something else on the printed object

No, I looked at the printing and it's ONLY printing 1 layer on the surface ... right on top of the infill - too I can brake the layer lines and I come directly into the "infill room" ... Something else must be wrong here.

???? I didn't export ... I just changed the file type of my Gcode and saved it ... OK, now I know what you mean ... here it is ! In Cura I can count the layers in the surface and it IS 4 but the printer seems to make only 1 in the picture ... and I tried it 3 times ! CuraTest.3mf

I don't use #mf files but Gcode-files and the one with the problem is in fact a Gcode-file ... but here you have the 3mf file of that same object. Test.3mf

I just updated to Cura 4.3.0 and I think I got a problem using my generel printer profile ! My Top Layer is way too thin eventhough I have set Top Layers =4 and Top Thickness = 2mm - the button is set to the same and IS looking OK The problematic layer is NOT the topmost layer but a big face around in the middle of all the layers - I can see the infill through the layer, so I think there is ONLY ONE LAYER despite my settings - see the attach picture ! What can I do to cure the problem ?

Thx again !
