[Volumetric flow rate display in preview mode]

Do anyone knows if there is a way to display in Cura preview mode the printing volumetric flow rate for each layers in terms of mm3/s ?

Or is there any plugin for that ?

 

Thanks 🙂

Sorry to bring it back up but nobody can help me ? I'm still searching here 🙂

[Trying to create a new custom profile for a new printer. Having issues with machine qualities...]

Does setting_version needs to be in the "quality" config files only ?

Should the "version" variables from the definition, extruder, variants should also match "16" ?

 

So I tried redoing it with "setting_version" set at "16" in the quality file with the exact same result. Cura opens and randomly apply a quality from the generic ones and doesn't show any other qualities from rather the generic or the custom ones... So close yet so far... I can't figure it....

[Trying to create a new custom profile for a new printer. Having issues with machine qualities...]

Tried letter by letter this tutorial and qualities still dont show up... Is it a Cura 4.8 bug ?

https://all3dp.com/2/cura-profile-add-custom-machine-to-cura/

[Trying to create a new custom profile for a new printer. Having issues with machine qualities...]

So I got a SecKit SKGo2 printer. I've being playing with Cura definitions to create a custom profile for it and got something working at one point by copying data from the Creality Ender3 pro and modifying it from there. But I was never able to create custom machine qualities (Ie .: Extra Fine, Fine, Normal,Draft, etc..)

So what I did is to strip down my config to the minimum and tried to add qualities from there, but without success.. Cura is not reading / adding the quality file I made even after deleting appdata/roaming/cura and appdata/localdata/cura. If anyone could help me that would be nice :)

 

Please remember this is a stripped down version just to try to make de qualities to work

definition file : SecKit_SKGo2.def.json

{
    "name": "SecKit_SKGo2",
    "version": 2,
    "inherits": "fdmprinter",
    "metadata": {
        "visible": true,
        "author": "SecKit",
        "manufacturer": "SecKit",
		"file_formats": "text/x-gcode",
        "platform": "SecKit_bed.stl",
		"platform_offset": [-65, -32, -40],
        "has_machine_quality": true,
		"machine_extruder_trains": {
            "0": "SecKit_SKGo2_extruder"
        }   
    }
}

extruder file : seckit_skgo2_extruder.def.json (directly copied from the ender3)

{
    "version": 2,
    "name": "Extruder 1",
    "inherits": "fdmextruder",
    "metadata": {
        "machine": "SecKit_SKGo2",
        "position": "0"
    },

    "overrides": {
        "extruder_nr": { "default_value": 0 },
        "machine_nozzle_size": { "default_value": 0.4 },
        "material_diameter": { "default_value": 1.75 }
        
    }
}

and my quality file located under quality/SecKit_SKGo2/draft.inst.cfg

[general]
version = 2
name = SK_DRAFT
definition = SecKit_SKGo2

[metadata]
setting_version = 15
type = quality
quality_type = normal
weight = 0
material = generic_pla

[values]
layer_height = 2.2
wall_thickness = 1.05
top_bottom_thickness = 0.8
infill_sparse_density = 20
speed_print = 80
speed_layer_0 = =round(speed_print * 30 / 50)
speed_topbottom = =math.ceil(speed_print * 20 / 80)
cool_min_layer_time = 5
cool_min_speed = 10

 

 

Running Cura that way and adding the printer, I only see a quality called "Fine" thats has nothing to do with the dedicated quality I created...

And if I remove the ("has_machine_quality": true,), I get the defaults one located at the quality root folder.

 

Then, I tried to duplicate the ABAX PRi3 profile but thats event worst because I just don't understand how the custom qualities are applied for that printer since there is no reference at all to "has_machine_quality" and it can still go read the specific qualities for that printer anyone just to confuse me a little bit more. . . 

 

Any idea ?

 

Also, nothing specifically wrong (at least from my perspective) in the cura log file :

[How do I add my Printer's logo to the Cura 'bed'?]

Trying to do a profile for my new printer I copied everything from another one and customized it but the only thing I can't figure is how to center the platform mesh... I tried both with stl and 3mf.. 

Bed is 300x300 so I make the stl 300x300 .. 

Any idea ? (I know it look ugly but I'm just trying to understand at this point... artwork will come after..

[Nozzle marks issues...]

Dunno if anyone can help me but here is my problem:
Flat printed surfaces show nozzle lines but only starting at layer 2. Walls top are ok, Layer 1 also.
If I lower my bed, I start having adhesion issues.
Extruder e-steps are calibrated as shown in picture (100steps = 10cm)

 

The only way I am able to have flat surfaces without any nozzle lines is by lowering the Flow in Cura down to below 70.
I was wondering if this is normal or if there was any other settings I should look for ...

Using Cura 4.6.1 with an Ender3 Pro, PLA 1.75. (See print details below)

[Brim line width insufficient]

got mine fixed yesterday night.... just had to increase "Skirt/Brim flow rate". now brim lines touch each other..

[Question regarding spacing between brim lines.]

Found my answer... Had to adjust Skirt/Brim flow rate 🙂 all good now !

[Brim line width insufficient]

same issue here ... did you you had it fixed ?

[Question regarding spacing between brim lines.]

 

So basically my printed jobs look pretty ok since I changed my print profile based on what was recommanded at all3dp in order to make first layers look better:
https://all3dp.com/2/3d-printing-first-layer-problems-how-to-make-it-perfect/ 

But the thing is since I changed that, I was not able to adjust Cura anyhow in order to have the brim lines to touch each other anymore.
I tried tweeking the following settings without any success (see attached picture - it shows only the brim since I cancelled the job right after it)

 

Initial Layer Line Width : tried between 100 - 200%
Skirt/Brim Line Width : 0.8 - 1.5

Since my understanding of brim is that these lines should touch each other in order to give a better adhesion to the bed, does anyone knknow how I could fix that ?

Here is the complete settings for the last test I did with the following settings :
Initial Layer Line Width : tried between 200%
Skirt/Brim Line Width : 1.5
