Finally I got it working also on my PC , both with Cura 5.3.1 and Cura 5.4.0 with waiting for more than 30 minutes.

@Torgeir thank you for providing the G-Code file.

Slicing was not the problem, but storing the G-Code file.

How long did it take to store the G-Code file on your PC?

Have you tried getting a cup of tea and a good book? I've found that some (what seem like pretty simple) prints can just appear to freeze Cura for 5-10+ minutes.

(Mandatory disclaimer: figure of speech. I don't drink tea. Or coffee.)

I killed the Programm as it didn't respond after more than 30 minutes several times.

I have a model of a watering can with 12 x M600 filament change scripts enabled.

After slizing the model, it is not possible to store the G-code, neither on harddisk nor on removable drive.

The progress indicator stucks at the very beginning and the program titlebar shows no reponse. see enclosed project and screenshot.

Please help.

Hi @Slashee_the_Cow,

Thanks for your answer. This was the solution. Cura 5.3.1 sliced it perfect.

I've sliced an incense burner and found that Cura 5.4.0 places irregular lines on surfaces that are intended to be smooth plane. see enclosed files and screenshots.

Turn off the Bridge settings. They aren't needed for that model anyway.

But the bridge settings should not be affecting the print like that either.

Thank you. That's the point. Disabling the Bridge settings provides smooth walls in the 2nd layer. With Bridge settings enabled, it appeared only in the 2nd layer.

Different line-width in outmost 2 walls.

I've got different line-width in the outmost 2 walls in the first layer of my model. At these sections of the circle, the nozzle drives faster than in the other sections. See enclosed screenshot and project.

Hello,

Is there anyone who takes care about this issue?

March 25, 2023

The Post Processing Script "Retract Tower", with mode "Distance", generates false G-code for the retraction, after the tower is finished.

At the end of the Tower, the Extruder is at E104.9.9863

For retraction of the filament, the extruder moves back 11mm to E93.98630

Then after switching of the heaters, the Extruder position is set to 1mm (G92 E1)

After this, the Extruder extrudes 93mm of material (G1 F300 E93.98630), which causes a material blob at the decreasing tower. See included picture

In the "Speed" Mode the Filament retraction is working well

;Retract the filament

G92 E1

G1 F3000 E-1.00000

Please fix this error.

Cura 5.3.0 - Maschine settings notice box at "Start G-code" & "End G-code" covers input & not scrollable - Github Issue #14963

1.) When you hover with the mouse over the input fields of "Start G-code" & "End G-code" the notice box covers the whole window as long as you move the mouse outside.
The notice box disappears when the mouse is outside this input fields.

There's no possibility to push the notice box away to have a reference for the possible input.

Please make the notice box moveable.

2.) The notice box of "Start G-code" & "End G-code" are not scrollable.
They contain more information as what can be displayed in the box.
Please make them scrollable.

I didn't know about this "Search and Replace" script before. It's working, but it's more a workaround than a solution.

@MariMakes Do you plan to fix this problem?

PauseAtHeight script - Layer numbering mismatch between Cura workspace and gcode

While using PauseAtHeight script I was faced with an issue that the layer numbering in Cura 5.3. workspace doesn't match to the produced gcode.

I used a model with 10 flat layers and 2 layers with numbers on top.

In the PauseAtHeight script I used layer 11 to start the pause for the filament change.

During printing, the pause started after the first layer of the numbering, which was wrong.

After this, I checked the gcode file and found the difference.

Layer numbering in Cura starts at layer 1, whereas in gcode it starts with "Layer:0"

As I selected layer 11, as displayed in Cura workspace, the PauseAtHeight script was inserted 1 layer too late.

Please verify.

Printing with different colors on my Anycubic Kobra with PauseAtHeight drove me nuts.

For testing I used a testcylinder with D=10mm and H= 15mm.

The PauseAtHeight breaks were programmed for layer 25 and 50 of total 75 layers.

First I tried several setups of the PauseAtHeight script and no one, worked on my Kobra.

This is, because Anycubic seems to not have proper installed M0 code.

Finaly I found one setup with manual gcode adjustment that workes for me.

The printer uses Marlin Gcode.

General: Kobra Printer only stops for longer time, when "Pause"-Button on the display is pressed.

- When reaching the pause layer, the printer goes to park position , lift-up and Beep

- When you press the "Pause"-Button - printer displays " Paused, waiting for cache command to complete"

1.) Keep Motors enganded (3600s) - not working
