Ok, thanks.

Thanks for your input.

I want to purchase this 3D rendering (DXF format) and print it with Cura and my Creality Ender 5 Plus printer. Since it's being offered at $65, I want to make sure I can print it before I buy it. Any ideas? https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-models/vehicle/motorcycle/montesa-cota-4rt-260-2014

Thanks nallath. I'm learning......

I'm attempting to increase the X, Y scale of a storage bin STL to match a real-world storage bin I want to copy. When I scale up the STL to match the X, Y measurements, slice, and print, the resulting object measurements are not what the Cura scaling shows: Cura: X 135 mm, Y 181 mm, Z 76 mm Printed object: X 81 mm , Y 145 mm, Z 76 mm Z measurement is accurate. Here's the first part of the GCode: ;FLAVOR:Marlin ;TIME:35508 ;Filament used: 34.6484m ;Layer height: 0.2 ;MINX:97.935 ;MINY:77.503 ;MINZ:0.2 ;MAXX:232.913 ;MAXY:258.781 ;MAXZ:76 ;Generated with Cura_SteamEngine 4.13.0 I'm using the latest Cura version and an Ender 5 Plus.

Thanks! Yes, I need to always remember to shut off the machine.

Is it possible to set Cura default settings to retain the nozzle and bed temps when printing is finished? I want to go on with printing another object but the GCode sets the nozzle and bed temps back to zero. Also, I have to manually adjust the bed temp back to 60C to get the object to release from the bed. I'm using Cura 4.13.0 and a Ender 5 Plus.

Thanks. I'll investigate the GPU/driver issue.

I'm using a Creality Ender 5 Plus with Cura 4.12.1 I'm new at 3D printers and Cura. I've been printing directly from a SD card and don't have a network connection to my printer. Do I need to have my printer connected via my network to get the Start Simulation menu choice to show up?
