GregValiant: I know, have this, but preview is very small and the File-Icon is blurred. Searching for a better GCode-preview.

gr5 Thanks. Didnt see unmarked. Changed it, now it fits.

Sorry, marked the wrong post for solution - was yours not mine solution. ANy idea to change that? Thank you again for your excellent help, the print is fine now, closed and stable, no more spongy.

My mistake: The Elegoo Neptune Thumbnail Plugin was installed and activated. It eats some of the first code lines. I was'nt aware that it is for a special printer setup, find the description nice and install together with the Printer Settings Plugin. learning through pain Positioning and heating now ok... waiting for the print result...

Thanks for your hints , I'll take a deeper look. Thanks for all :-)

Sorry again, after installing the plugin, find and change the value and try a new testprint the printer plate and nozzle doesnt warm up. Normally the printer resets to its 0,0 point warm up the plate to 60° and the nozzle to 200° and starts the print in the center of the plate. But now it starts printing from where it was stopped without any wormup. Whats wrong now. May you have another look into the files attached, please. AI3M_tbh.3mf AI3M_tbh.gcode

Sorry, cant find this: Where can I find this menu or program? .... 30 min. later, plugin found 🙂 PLA length calculation now changes from 0.41m to 1.10m - looks good, lets test it...

GREAT thanks! I've overlocked this while checking so many parameters. Test it immediately and respond soon 🙂

Ok its ready. Have packed all the things in attached 7zip file. Let me explain: Original file tbh.stl and tbh.obj (Test Box Half 🙂 ) and toolfile from Plasticity program. Leading of filename Cura Version: C56_ = Cura 5.6 (quickly installed yesterday, as you said its the same behavoir like older 5.x versions) and C4131_ = Cura 4.13.1 prints fine. Both file formats .3mf and .gcode attached. Attach a .mp4 video you can see the print results clearly also a .jpg photo. Cura 5.6 calculates 19 min. 3g and 0.41m, while Cura 4.13.1 calculates 17 min. 3g and 1.07m. For my understanding the difference of PLA Filament length may be an indication why the version 5.x prints so soft and spongy. Right? But from which parameter will that come from? Thanks in advance.

OK, tomorrow I print the test in both versions and send the files also a photo of the results. See you...

Have Anycubic i3 Mega and slice with Cura included with printer. Update Cura to 3.2 and use it until 4.13.1 with full satisfaction. Then use v. 5.1.0 and the print results went spongy, soft and pliable. Check the Cura printer-properties and resulting .gcode but cant find any hint. Update to 5.3.1 and 5.4.0 doesnt help anything. Next time Ill try 5.6.0 but I fear it might be the same behavoir. Somebody has an idea for a solution?
