  1. That works well. It's kinda ridiculous how that is hidden within another functionality but it works.
  2. For testing I would recommend any stronger warping material, then just print something at least 1cm in height at moderate to fast speed. The faster and the higher the more the bottom forces increase. I will give it a test during the week as well.
  3. Does Cura 5 work for you on your 2 or 3 monitor setup ? I would have expected it to crash in most environments like that. In general I would expect the majority of professionals to use more than one monitor, that's why I would normally expect QA to also at least have one workplace like that before ANYthing hits public use.
  4. That does indeed look quite great! Is it able to print the adhesion between model and pillars with a different (smaller) layer height ? Is it public ? The speed you got that out is remarkable, I really need to look into plugin development 🙂
  5. Alright I see some of the bugs are handled/noticed by now, I did follow those crashes for some weeks and they were not handled until very recently (none of those I had found and I found a lot of reports that seemed to originate from the same cause). By "mess" I meant the hard crash on computers with two monitors or a laptop with docking station. I'm aware Cura is opensource but when paying thousands of USD for a printer I somehow had the expectation that the software that accompanies it goes through a QA process that includes a test with two monitors. Especially when the same sort of bug occurred for years regularly. Regarding development environment, you currently maintain a docker environment (or a couple of them) that come without the actual source code, without howto, without any readme and the vast majority of people will never even find out how to use it as it also comes without a working entrypoint. All you can find online about it is a couple discussions in forums that in most cases fail to ever see the inside of the container I guess when using so many libraries and dependencies a docker environment is a good choice, just the state it is in now is not useful. In my opinion such a docker container should come ready to use, including GIT, including the working source code that can be compiled with a single command which is printed boldly after 'login' in the working entrypoint environment.
  6. I literally tried everything. I stopped after trying to fix their mess in the source code as creating a working development environment is more difficult than writing a complex linux kernel module from scratch. There is nothing you can do except for disabling all secondary monitors entirely to make it not crash. I also made a bug report in Beta and I made one for Release version which was never even responded to, that said they don't seem to respond to any of the thousands of reports.
  7. @Cuq Sounds great, I've not looked into plugins yet. I tried to compile Cura-5 to fix their crash on multi-monitors but after 2 hours I gave up trying to make a working environment, not sure if plugins are the same hassle ? I made a feature request on it here: https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/issues/12426 I doubt their devs will look at it but maybe it's useful if you go for a plugin.
  8. Hm interesting, basically the same thing I am using just integrated into the model mesh. One difference is that the outer shape is circular in my case, that's in general the best shape for adhesion (sharp corners are a weak point) Another difference is that the pure circularity of the model makes the separation very easy, the slicer prints a round wall so when you "pull" the layers between the "ear" and the "model" separate clean. Cura should offer these type of "mounts" natively, it's not complicated to implement at all.
  9. More like this! You can see the circular pillars connected by a brim with the model. To make this work the brim layer needs to be very thin, best below 0.1mm (depends on material) I currently print it like the top two pillars, the lower ones are moved a bit down for demonstration purposes. Without those round pillars the above print consistently fails due to massive warping (a nylon co polymer) The circular shape is very stable in terms of adhesion and is not as much affected by the warping forces of the main model. It makes the main model stick down reliably, in the above model I use it as a 1 layer model, I've also used it as multi layer (like in your example) After printing, the pillars and the brim can be removed without knife if it's printed thinner than 0.1mm At 0.1mm it requires some force and a knife in some places, above 0.1mm it's difficult to remove without leaving damages to the model. That's a quite large surface area Nylon print, I've not found any other method (even using huge brims) to print that successfully.
  10. Mouse ears tend to work best when printing with wide Nylon prints. And the best, if you place them carefully you can peel them off without even damaging the original part. Even better and for all materials would be a 0.06mm brim that interconnects a multi layer adhesion structure So a combination of a thin brim with thick "mouse-ears", that would allow to peel it off easily after print, but that sort of setup requires a change in Cura which they likely won't make ever. Hell, I am waiting for months for them to fix multi monitor hard crashes in Cura-5, they didn't even respond to the tens of bug reports since beta release.
  11. There were some feature requests but the dev team turned them down because they prefer people to use a Raft. It's false reasoning but I guess you'll need to develop it yourself and fork it if you need brim height settings.
  12. I guess it's right, though it looks like only very few people use those cores. Since Ultimaker went from affordable-diy to highest marketprice the amount of normal people who own a S3 or S5 is about to become extinct. There is not a single independent review of any CC printcore on youtube (none I could find), no comparisons, no example prints, no reviews of the original OR the Dexdo one. But I guess you are right that there would be at least some complaints
  13. Hi guys, I've recently tested the Dexdo 0.6mm CC Printcore (Ruby nozzle), it's about 150 USD and looks 1:1 like the original one. The good part is that it looks like original, the Ultimaker S3 recognized it as CC 0.6 as well. However, when trying to print with it the nylon filament was totally stuck going in. First it was stuck in the first 1/3 of the core, then on a second try it went down where the nozzle begins and there it was totally stuck. It looks like inside is a piece of metal pipe where the filament rests on, before it can get heated. The only way to make it extrude was by removing the bowden tube and manually directing the filament in. I'll send it back. I wondered if others have any experience with that one or with the original Ultimaker ruby printcore. Is that also made in such a way that the filament can get stuck before reaching the hot nozzle ?
  14. It's a bug since Cura 4, it stops working if you ever disconnected your printer from the Cloud. No way I found to make it work again after that. You need to export it to USB and from here on keep using the offline export, go to the printer(s) and put the USB in Go to settings and import the new profiles.
  15. As an update: After restarting Cura 5 3 times it now does not even load anymore, just a white screen that is "non responding" Also uninstalling and reinstalling it did not change it.
