I did a split screen Cura 4.13 on the left, Cura 5 on the right. Went down setting by setting and matched them. That is all I did. If your happy with your 4.13 settings, start by using those same setting in 5, and make adjustments as needed.

I also managed to get Cure 5 running nearly as fast as Cura 4.13. What a wonderful program. Thank you,

Thank you, that worked, Arc Welder is installed. 4.13 is still printing 2 hours 22 minutes to Cura 5, 4 hours and 57 minutes. I have to figure that out now. Again, Thank you, 3Dranger

Just upgraded to Cura 5. In Cura 4.13 I used Arc Welder with good success. Cura 5 does not display Arc Welder even though I have installed it several times. 4.13 is printing much faster most likely because of Arc Welder. Same part, same settings are being used in Cura 5 but no Arc Welder and Cura 5 is taking much longer to print the part. There is no check box anywhere for Arc Welder in Cura 5. Help?

This is interesting. Every time I think about and think I the answer, I come up with more questions. It might be good to have hole compensation and OD compensation. In CNC machining we have cutter compensation. Will keep thinking, 3Dranger

If I adjust XY&Z steps to get a perfect OD, the ID is undersized. Is Cura not calculating the line width so that a cylinder of 1.5" in dia. and a 1" ID will come out right? Or, do we need to adjust for the ID undersize in our drawing. In machining, we enter our cutter width and the computer adjusts the tool path so your part comes out correct. Isn't the .4 line width the same as a cutter diameter and Cura should calculate the correct tool path? What am I missing. Thank you, 3Dranger
