Cura 2.3 - Change temperature throughout the print

Is there a way to change the temperature at certain layers/heights of the print?

 

I know there used to be a plugin called TweakAtZ and another called VeryAtHeight but neither are working for me. I'm running Cura 2.1.3 and Cura 2.3 and neither are working in both of them. Could someone confirm that they are still able to use one of these plugins for the latest release and then I can work on getting that fixed my end if I know someone else is able to use it.

Is TweakAtZ still supported in Cura now, as its github was updated 5 months ago, I fear the owner/creator has stopped development.

Thanks,

Sam.

    TweekAtZ 5.1 is included with Cura 2.3 (Production, not Beta)

    I used it to tweek the Extruder 0 to 190c at layer 5, and this is what was put in the gcode:

     

    ;LAYER:5M106 S137.3G0 X65.806 Y99.748 Z1.2;TweakAtZ V5.1: executed at Layer 5M117 Printing... tw@L   5M104 S190.000000 T0M204 S500

     

    So it looks like its working properly.

    Can you tell me where this setting is located? I cant seem to find it.

     

    Never-me mind, I found it after I posted thanks anyways:)

    Under Extensions: Post Processing: Modify G-Code -> Add The Script

    Also was looking for this...Thanks for posting the path!

    Making switch from v15.0.4 - keep going back because I can't find where Tweek @ Z is!

      • UltiMaker Cura 5.3 stable released
        In this stable release, Cura 5.3 achieves yet another huge leap forward in 3D printing thanks to material interlocking! As well as introducing an expanded recommended print settings menu and lots of print quality improvements. Not to mention, a whole bunch of new printer profiles for non-UltiMaker printers!
          • Thanks

      • Here it is. The new UltiMaker S7
        The UltiMaker S7 is built on the success of the UltiMaker S5 and its design decisions were heavily based on feedback from customers.
         
         
        So what’s new?
        The obvious change is the S7’s height. It now includes an integrated Air Manager. This filters the exhaust air of every print and also improves build temperature stability. To further enclose the build chamber the S7 only has one magnetically latched door.
         
        The build stack has also been completely redesigned. A PEI-coated flexible steel build plate makes a big difference to productivity. Not only do you not need tools to pop a printed part off. But we also don’t recommend using or adhesion structures for UltiMaker materials (except PC, because...it’s PC). Along with that, 4 pins and 25 magnets make it easy to replace the flex plate perfectly – even with one hand.
         
        The re-engineered print head has an inductive sensor which reduces noise when probing the build plate. This effectively makes it much harder to not achieve a perfect first layer, improving overall print success. We also reversed the front fan direction (fewer plastic hairs, less maintenance), made the print core door magnets stronger, and add a sensor that helps avoid flooding.
         

         
        The UltiMaker S7 also includes quality of life improvements:
        Reliable bed tilt compensation (no more thumbscrews) 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi A 1080p camera (mounted higher for a better view) Compatibility with 280+ Marketplace materials Compatibility with S5 project files (no reslicing needed) And a whole lot more  
        Curious to see the S7 in action?
        We’re hosting a free tech demo on February 7.
        It will be live and you can ask any questions to our CTO, Miguel Calvo.

      • UltiMaker Cura Alpha 🎄 Tree Support Spotlight 🎄
        Are you a fan of tree support, but dislike the removal process and the amount of filament it uses? Then we would like to invite you to try this special release of UltiMaker Cura. Brought to you by our special community contributor @thomasrahm
         
        We generated a special version of Cura 5.2 called 5.3.0 Alpha + Xmas. The only changes we introduced compared to UltiMaker Cura 5.2.1 are those which are needed for the new supports. So keep in mind, this is not a sneak peek for Cura 5.3 (there are some really cool new features coming up) but a spotlight release highlighting this new version of tree supports.
