Cura 2.5.0 and Tweak-at-Z post-processing

Hi all,

I just had a case where I need to slow down the print speed at a given height for better bridging. In the past (maybe as early as Cura 15.04 but probably also with a previous 2.x version) I have successfully used Tweak-at-Z for such purpose. But for today's attempt with latest version 2.5.0, my Tweak-at-Z instructions don't seem to be really applied.

I use Cura from the official AppImage under Linux OpenSuSE Leap 42.2, if that matters, and this is on an Ultimaker 2+ with default "fast print" settings.

My exact settings: I tried to set print speed at 50% starting at layer number 379 and keep value for 4 layers. The post-processing icon (hammer and wrench) was present near the "save file" button. The resulting gcode actually has comments like follows:

 

;POSTPROCESSED;TweakAtZ instances: 1;Generated with Cura_SteamEngine 2.5.0

 

...but when I look at layer number 379 and following, I don't see any change in print speed (assuming this would be reflected in instructions like "G1 Fxxx").

Am I missing something or doing something wrong?

Can anybody confirm that confirm that it is still possible to tweak speed at select layers with Cura 2.5 (and explain how to set it up)?

Thanks in advance.

      • 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.
