Every time I try to log into the cura app (not DF) I get redirected to my browser and hit with this error message!! Why??

Anyone try using breakaway as the main material and not for supports? I have 2 spools of it that I rarely if ever use so I wanted to try. Obviously wont be good for anything structural but it seems to work okay for anything that you just need the geometry with very small forces.

I would like to know this as well

What rubberband? I have Z hops turned off

That's probably the heart of the issue. I wish they would allow the users to have more control over these parameters. It would be such a simple fix. We should be allowed to adjust the parameters on our own equipment

Anyone else have this problem printing TPU on the s5 with the material station? You start a print, everything is all good, feeds though the Bowden tubes beautifully. Print is over and the station tries to recoil your filament but for whatever reason fails and grinds the everlasting heck out of your precious rubber string. WHY?? If you notice a problem feeders PLEASE STOP FEEDING for a few seconds until I can figure out what is going on. This is more of a rant than anything I doubt there is any way to fix the problem. It just irks me to throw away 3m of otherwise perfectly good filament EVERY TIME I print with TPU because my lower feeder doesn't have a brain. So then what happens is that it throws an error and I have to restart my printer to clear and then once restarted it thinks the material station bay is empty when in reality it is not and the filament is still going from the spool to the print head. And then decides the best course of action is to just literally continuously run, which of course does nothing unless you add heat to the print core because the filament is still firmly parked in the nozzle. The only way to avoid this whole mess then is to immediately unplug your s5 after the print ends. Next you run your power cable from the outlet directly to the s5 and avoid the material station (otherwise you get the infinite grinding effect). Next you manually heat your print core to 250ish to unpark the trapped filament. Then flip up the switch on the upper grinder/feeder to release tension, unplug the entire unit, yank the entire strand out of the system by hand and ravel it back onto the spool. All of that to get off a single TPU print with the s5 material station. Asinine... /rant

Why am I experiencing stringing on this part when cura clearly shows that there are no travel (or extrusion) moves outside of the part profile? Printing with TPU on an S5 btw

Interesting! All the reviews suggest this could be just what I need. I wish it wasn't so expensive though!

Any ideas on how to make these parts last longer? They are used a guide fixture that a rubber extrusion then slides across as a promoting agent is applied with a felt tip. The force applied is only about 2-3 pounds max but these are about 1200 parts being pulled through a day. I typically have to replace these every month. I have tried ulimaker brand CPE (in yellow) and CPE+ (white). I have also tried a filament by igus which claims to have 50x the wear resistance of nylon and abs but it was unable to withstand the chemicals in the primer and ended up deteriorating even faster. Is there any thing else I can try beyond adding metal inserts or cutting them out of aluminum entirely? I already have the local infill areas set up to 100%.

I will wait for someone else to mention it. I'm staying on cura 4.11.0 until I know for sure

Yesss!!! Does that mean the solidworks plugin will work again? that was driving me crazy!

Does anyone know why my infill so weak? I never used to have problems but the last 2 prints I made have this really weird thin frizzy infill the lines aren't even connected. I'm printing at 15% zig zag in cura like I always do. I don't remember changing any other significant settings. Skin walls brim and supports all print fine it's just the infill that is messed up.

Is there a known way to exactly align a surface parallel to the x or y plane? I can get my parts to sit how I want in the Z direction thanks to the align to build plate feature but there is no option for a second surface alignment. As far as I know you have to try to get it close by rotating manually.

Anyone else having issues with the solid works integration plugin after upgrading to 4.12? It only works like 10% of the time for me now.

YES!!! it has been bugging the crap out of me I wish I didn't upgrade. I even tried emailing the developer but got no response. This topic needs more discussion. I can usually get it to work after 4-5 reboots of either cura solidworks or my computer.
