c u r a version number 4.13.1
I'm doing a two color print, and the face of the box prints down against the bed. because it's two color the text gets printed first, then it prints around the text and the hole cutouts. the problem I'm having, is I cannot seem to find any setting to allow retraction on the first layer and as you can see by the picture below, it just keeps extruding between the holes and makes the front of the box look not as pretty as I would like it to. am I missing something or is this setting simply not allowed.

When i generate the gcode ,Cura has several lines of code BEFORE my Start code

i have code to run after tool selection that errors because of heaters not on.
is there any way to move the "T0" after the Last "M109"?
I am running a Octopi and klipper on a Octopus V1.1

I have myself a Kraken hot end with four nozzles, I want to be able to print an object requiring supports in two colors. what I need to do is be able to assign the same color support as the object it's touching. having supports limited to one nozzle unfortunately means that when I print a blue ball that suspended in the air and has a support that is printed in Orange, because that is the color of the main item, I end up with orange stuck to the blue. all I need to be able to do is assign individual colors or extruders to the different support areas for example, any support material touching object one, would print with the same color / extruder as that object.

I am having a strange issue after upgrading to 4.10.0
after slicing the file it is trying to push too much filament to the point it skips the extruder and blobs filament on the bed
below are 2 gcode files the larger of the 2 was sliced in 4.8 i believe and prints fine

I am having a similar issue and need help.
i have a custom printer, Core X/Y with a Kraken hot end and the dis allowed ares are all wrong.
the issue is in the custom and or the linked fdmprinter json there is no defined disallowed area to remove.
I am not sure where to look next. the last pic is what it should look like
print area is from x5 to x300 and y0 to y330

I had that problem with other printers, not with UM5 so I think it depends on your machine. It has something to do with waiting for temperature to change. You have a standby temperature and an extrusion temperature M109.
I think you are correct, it would be good if we could have it move to the tower before pausing so as not to scare us as it pauses right above the print.

Cura 4.5.0 - mutli color prints
I hope i am posting in the right area.(please let me know )
i have a curiosity, not necessarily a bug(not sure). when i slice a multi color print all seems fine.
when i print it an the gcode gets to the T1 (change tool) it perforfn the retraction over the work and then pauses for 30 -60 sec .....and then moves to the prime tower. i do not understand where the pause comes from... it it not in the gcode.
where would be a good place to start to look

well, a missing comma here and there can ruin your day... 🙂
There are validator tools for json-files (https://jsonlint.com/ for example). It's a quick check and can save you hours sometimes.
Good luck!
Man i just LOVE hanging out with smart people
Thanks so much.

An attached cura.log would have been more helpful
Yes, I have created a plugin for that:
https://marketplace.ultimaker.com/app/cura/plugins/fieldofview/CustomJobPrefix
1. i found the logs. lol
2. i added the customjobprefix plugin, but i have no idea how to use it.
i dont see any settings to change and there are no instructions. the link above has a button to click and add plugin, after i click it it says that it it added. i reopen cura and cannot find any setting to change.
*******Update******
noticed that the plugin dir did not have the files in it so i d/l the plugin from github and installed it manually in the plugin dir. restarted and there it was.

Hi, I am facing a problem when i try to print with the second nozzle only , the other nozzle starts working as well even though i specified the color and the parameters to work for the second one only , i'm using cura 4.5
here is the part that i wanted to print and the machine settings.
so what is the problem am i missing something?
Do You have 2 physical nozzles or 1 nozzle with 2 extruder.
if it is 1 nozzle with 2 extruders, you need to check the shared heater box.
in the image you posted you have set the part to use the 2nd extruder( based on color)
if you only want to use the 2nd extruder, you need to make sure that the infill and support etc are set to use extruder 2 as well (by default they are assigned to extruder 1.)

Where is the log, i can not seam to find it.
Update
Just some more info that might help...
the dir was read only at the start, i had to give myself permissions on the folder to be able to edit the files.
if i remove the modified files and restore the original ones ....all is fine.
then i go in to the creality_cr-x.def.json file and change the
"machine_extruder_count": { "default_value": 2 }
to
"machine_extruder_count": { "default_value": 4 }
save & exit
Cura wont start.

I have a Tronxy Machine that was so bad i have had to throw away their electronics and replace with a duet 2 board and a 4 color print head :). i had wanted to use the creality cr-x and modify the resource files to add the 2 extra extruders and created the 2 extra extruder files.
I thought i was a smartie pants till i restarted Cura...see attached image.
All edits were done in Notepad++
1. Is there a way to do this???
2. is there a way to change the file prefix name
This is weird. i select a generic nylon and it changes me to unsupported profile and .1mm layer height. how do i fix this
