Cura - Moving Z down after cancelling a print. Possible?

Posted · Cura - Moving Z down after cancelling a print. Possible?

Hi guys, I have a fresh Ultimaker here and Cura was working quite fine for my first tests.

But I was cancellings the prints often because something was wrong. Then I always had to move down the z-axis by hand. Is there another way?

In the beginning I used Repetier Host. There are all the options to move everything on the ultimaker. Are there options like this in Cura?

    After canceling you can jog the Z axes with the jog menu (or just the Z buttons if you use PrintRun)

    Not sure what you mean by "move", if you mean moving objects around on the bed, the "machine center" settings do this. Not very userfriendly, working on that.

    If you mean placing multiple objects on a single print, checkout the project planner. (It's in the file menu of normal mode)

    Thanks for the hint! By "move" I meant moving the platform (down).

    I think Printrun is what I need. Cant test it now because my ultimaker is printing right now ;)

    ... but what is the jog menu? Am I missing something in Cura?

    Just tried Printrun - when I try to connect (Com3@115200) I get this message:

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
