[strange no print zone at front and back]

Thanks GregValian

The disallowed area explain the issue

BTW the json file is at .../Ultimaker-Cura.app/Contents/Resources/share/cura/resources/definitions

I went back and look in my older laptop and indeed was using:  Ender 3 Pro, the v2 was not listed in Cura 5.0,

only Ender 3, and that one already had those disallowed area

That brings another question

I did try to copy and paste start and stop G-code in machine setting window

but copy and paste does not work

I can type and delete directly in the window, that works, not copy and paste , not with a right click, not with the global menu

I am saw a demo done on a Window pc where that works

Is that normal on Mac, intel or arm, it is the same?

Any way, now I can do it in the json file, so no biggy

Thanks for the help

CE3E3V2_gear60Cyclo.3mfHere you go

Also added a square shape 190 x 190 mm , there is free usable space on the sides

but not front and back, I have printed on the same machine with Cura 4.6 a 210 x 210 with room for a squirt around

Hi there

I am having issue with strange no print zone on ender 3

I have a Mac M1, it did work for a while, even after moving to cura5.2 but not anymore and I was trying various printer then those zone appeared and can't get rid of them

I deleted Cura, deleted Cura folder in library ( Macintosh HD\Users\[user_name]\Library\Application Support\cura)

restarted from scratch with 5.2.1, just set basic ender 3 V2 did not touch any setting other then increase bed size to 300 x 300 to give a better visual on no print zones

zones are still there, the position of them does not change with bed size

If I load a custom printer set to 235 x 235 zones are not there

I am including a picture of issue and a 3mf file, hopefully someone can figure out the issue

It is an issue because it limit the print size front to back to barely 190 mm, I have printed gears up to 210 mm in diameter

thanks for Cura

[Activation of retractation on first (and last layer) for internal movements]

 Hi

I have been looking to enable retraction when moving between holes 

Is there a way to do that? Could not find the setting in Cura 4.6.1

Thanks
