    Is there a way to automate this process?

    in UltiMaker Cura

    Posted · Edited by Kingsidorak

    I am now filling out my build plate, but doing a One At A Time print batch, so at maximum I can have 9 models on my standard sized Ender 3.

    Is there a plugin that will duplicate, and move models around the buildplate like this? If it needs to be made, I am willing to pay for it

    The order in which the mdoels are placed matters. You don't want the hotend to move to another spot, and slam into a part that's already printed...

    Ender3 v2 not printing via USB using Cura

    in UltiMaker Cura

    I've been printing over USB for about 4 years now (and, just switched to Octoprint... You might want to try that), but one of the first Ryzen motherboards I bought had issues with the USB drivers, and I could not print over USB with that motherboard. I happened to be getting another motherboard, and it had much better drivers, or controllers onboard

    Feature suggestion: Change grid in viewer

    @AraTekne @scon @cra

    Open C:\Program Files\Ultimaker Cura 4.13.1\resources\shaders\grid.shader in a text editor
      

    Line 81			        vec2 minorGrid = abs(fract(coord - 0.5) - 0.5) / fwidth(coord);

Line 87					vec2 majorGrid = abs(fract(coord / 10.0 - 0.5) - 0.5) / fwidth(coord / 10.0);

    In line 81 change the .5

    In line 87 change the first 10.0, and both 0.5


    If anyone can make a Cura Plugin to help do this without editing the files, please contact me
    I also have other ideas for plugins

     

    If I set it to something like...

    10.0, 10.0
    10.0, 0, .5
    The scale is set to 10mm, you can change that to whatever.

    Not sure what that 0 does.
    If you leave the .5 as is, it will offset the first squre to the very middle square to be perfectly center. Set this to 0 if you want that to be offset

    Please let us add extruders to existing machine profiles

    I added Dual Extrusion to an Ender 3 Max which I already had optimized profiles for, but Cura won't let me use Ender 3 profiles on non-Ender 3 machines. Cura is outright refusing to let me add an extra extruder to the machine profile. I have gone, and tried to edit the text config files for the machine profile, and Cura keeps resetting it... JUST LET ME DO IT!!! This is a level of handholding that is going way too far for intermediate to advanced users. There should be a warning that comes up when people try to edit things that are not stock, maybe ask if they're sure, and then just do it.
