Is this new engine (when finally released) going to allow prints that have text in the first layer, to be printed with a brim on the OUTSIDE of the model only? So text doesn't get filled in?

option 1: ur print has empty text (holes)

option 2: ur print has filled text with separated print time (2 print)

 

Solution for option 1 and possibly option 2:

don't use brim, but use SKIRT with 0 DISTANCE

Hi everyone. I've tried looking in the online guides for this but I can't seem to find anything. I'm using Klipper firmware and I want to set the pressure advance based on the nozzle diameter. Is that something I can do in Cura? Basically what I need is a case statement, or if-then-else. The gcode I need to add is:

 

SET_PRESSURE_ADVANCE ADVANCE=n.nnn

For a 0.4mm nozzle the value should be 0.153, for a 0.2mm nozzle it's 0.250, etc. The values are determined by printing a calibration tower and they are different for every nozzle size and in some cases per filament. In Prusa Slicer I've done it like this:

{if nozzle_diameter[0] == 0.2} SET_PRESSURE_ADVANCE ADVANCE=0.250
{elsif nozzle_diameter[0] == 0.4} SET_PRESSURE_ADVANCE ADVANCE=0.153
{endif}

I imagine there must be some similar technique in Cura, Can anyone point me to the right documentation or an example, please?

SIMPLE IS THE BEST:

 

[gcode_macro m900]
gcode:
  SET_PRESSURE_ADVANCE ADVANCE={params.K}
