Cura firmware problem

Hey!!

I am using what I think is the latest version of firmware for my UM2. I have been having retraction problems and tried to turn it off during a print. I set the retraction speed to 0. This caused the printer to lock up and I had to reboot it. Luckily the print was only 1 hour old. I tried other values for the speed and it did not lock up. I also tried putting 0 in the distance value which worked ok.

May I suggest changing the minimum value for speed to 1 instead of 0.

Thanks

    If you put a speed of 0, the retraction will not move. So the printer will just sit and wait for it to finish forever.

    It's like waiting for your car to back out of the driveway without starting it.

        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.
