  1. No. I suspect there is some oddity with my account as Cura regularly signs me out (and has across several versions). What helped was clicking sync (I resigned myself to it potentially messing up my custom edits to my config folder) and thankfully discovered that there was a pop up showing what it would change. Then I removed them online. Interesting side note the local Cura GUI did NOT handle that well: what was displayed in the pop up changed as I removed/added things online, but placed various GUI elements on top of one another and generally looked like a hot mess! I still can't seem to get it to sync a new custom Generic PLA based material with my printer using the Digital Factory or local network, so I may need to resort to the developer API.
  2. @Smithy Sadly it appears to still be an issue as of Cura 12.0.1. Removed from within cura marketplace and they didn't remove from my account. It would be exceptionally helpful to filter the online marketplace by "Added to Cura" as I now need to look through a mass of things to try and remember what I'd installed.
  3. I don't think that addresses my issue. It nicely lays out how profiles and settings work to create what is used in the printing process but leaves the issue as to how unaddressed. For example my current workflow for a new unsupported material: Create a new material for it based on something close and unlink it. Edit the supported nozzles in the .fdm_material file if necessary (e.g. remove AA/add CC if abrasive) Select a material for the nozzle that has an intent profile I'd like to start from and pick the intent. Go to customize and make screenshots of ever section Select the new material I've made. Manually apply the settings from the screenshots. Tweak until I'm happy. Save profile I've tried exporting and importing existing profiles but Cura complains that the material isn't compatible with what I'm importing and refuses to show it. If I could figure out the relevant file I'd edit it by hand but haven't had any luck there either. Similarly I've looked for things in the vein of "So you'd like to start manufacturing your own filament and get material and intent profiles into the market place? Here's the develop docs." to no avail. What am I missing?
  4. Interesting. Perhaps I should restate my question, where is information on creating my own quality profile, ideally using an existing profile including things not overridden as a starting point? I see that when I select the CC Red core the quality profiles go away and Cura loads a number of defaults. Some are related to the core and make sense, plently of others are defaulting to settings have no control of, don't see how to control where they come from, change them except one by one, or export to get make an external detailed diff to see why estimated print time is jumping by ~50% with a larger core that is running at a faster speed!
  5. I'm trying to work with Matter hackers Build Glow filament, which is abrasive. I've created a profile for it based on the Generic ABS (as there is no profile in the material browser to install). Cura insists, however that the CC Red is not compatible with the ABS profile I created. What should I do so I don't have to wear out my AA cores (which sadly may already have some damage as they have seen a few meters of the filament before I learned it was abrasive!).
  6. Hi Folks, I'm working on my first print since updating to Cura 4.6.1 and have things set up as follows: -UM Nylon in extruder 1 from a drybox. (Printer demands an override because the NFC didn't see the branded spool, ugh.) -UM Tough PLA in extruder 2 -Engineering 150um, modified with 0.15 first layer, no prime tower -Support from extruder 2 (don't really need much) -Retract at layer change is not selected. I'm printing a handful of parts, all but one of which are only a cm or so tall. Those are all finished now and it is working on the final ~90mm tall Nylon part. In the final ~ 15 mm or so it will need extruder 2 again for some supports for annular openings, until then though it is unsupported nylon all the way up. The last version of this part that is exactly what the printer did: non-stop layer after layer after layer, though this was with 4.5.0. This time between each layer the S5 is slewing to the core swap, retracting the nylon, swapping to core 2, swapping to core 1, pause, feeding the nylon, adding about 17s. So far there doesn't seem to be any ill effect (aside from something like a 3h print time boost and extra wear). Any ideas?
