Ok, I tried removing "all devices" from Flatseal.
Let's see if this helps.
Seems to work.
SD and USB drives still available. SATA drives not.
and cannot connect to USB printer.
fine! Thank you very much

Which Marketplace?
Do you mean some Flatpak Management GUI?

Hi,
whenever I want to save a gcode file to my printers SD card I have to do the following process, summing up almost 10 clicks:
- insert SD card
- click media devices in KDE tray
- open additional mount options for device
- click mount only
- close menu
- got to cura
- open save menu in the bottom right corner
- select device
- click save
- click eject (eject works directly without any external work necessary)
While part of this is not Curas fault, other parts could be improved.
What I want to suggest is:
- check why mounting from Cura does not work on Kubuntu 23.10 (especially because unmount works)
- unhide the save/print menu so you can single click save instead of having to click 3 times.
- remove drives from the menu that are not meant to be saved to (it always wants to save to my data partition, which does not work because of permissions and does not make sense because I cannot insert a 3.5" drive into my printer)
thank you very much

Wanted to try octoprint, yes.
but that still leaves the problem of being unclear how cura claimes or releases the usb port.

Hi,
Cura got a problem: You cannot really control the printer manually from Cura.
So I always have Pronterface running to issue manual commands to the printer.
But the handover of /dev/ttyUSB0 just does not work well.
Either Cura does not find the port. Removing and replugging USB does not help at all.
Or Cura does not release the port without closing Cura so I can connect from Pronterface.
Could you please either add more control over the connection or add an input box for manually issuing commands?
I am currently fiddling with auto-leveling and building Marlin and this affords a lot of manual trial and error.
Printerface isn't implemented great regarding the USB connection either. but if you want to know how to do it, check gtkterm. They show how it's done. (i.e releasing the device when plug removed so the USB# does not increase on every plug cycle)
Apart from that Cura is a great program. But I hate this behavior since I started using Cura many years ago.

This my final result. It's some compromise, but since there is no IF in gcode. you have to guess somehow.
; Printer time needed: ; Heat Hotend 2:00 ; Heat Bed < 5:00 ; Home <0:35 M140 S{material_bed_temperature_layer_0} ; will take almost 5 min G28 ; Home ~ 30 sec G4 P60000 ; just wait for 1 mins to pass M104 S{material_print_temperature_layer_0} ; will take 2 min M190 S{material_bed_temperature_layer_0}-5 ; wait only for bed temp-5 M109 S{material_print_temperature_layer_0} ; wait for hotend temp -
Hi
I used this great program several years ago and now I am again giving 3d printing a go. But I need some customization.
my printer (Creality CR-10S5) is incredibly slow at heating, thus I would like to speed up the heating process by doing things in parallel.
But this does not work as I cannot edit the code Cura sends BEFORE the printer specific code.
any way to change the start up code from cura?
like:
set bed temperature, no wait
set extruder temp, no wait
home
Z up 5 cm
set extruder temp WAIT
maybe introduce some wait cycles so both bed and extruder are ready more or less at the same time.
thank you very
here you can see, that the problem is the code generated by cura by some secret magic ;)

I managed to remove the SATA drive (and USB printer) from this list by excluding "all devices" for the Cura app in Flatseal.
