With the gradual infill on a print that displays as 26mins on the default 20% it shows as 27mins on gradual shouldn't the gradual be faster?
Also like how the profile names have been changed making 0.15mm the normal it's the little things great job guys.

It is really model dependent whether gradual infill will decrease print time and material use. The infill density close to the top surfaces is increased compared to the 20% infill setting, and in a 26 min print, all infill is close to the top surface. Try loading in a big model with lots of infill.
The settings are a bit conservative so they work with each material and quality, you could reduce the gradual infill step height to further optimize printing time/material use (at your own risk).
Thanks Tomhe that makes sense.
Anther interesting one with supports (I know you do not use supports with this model but I had supports enabled from my last model)
But there seems to be little support towers on their lonesome not connected to the model, mm away from it :/

Those are moral support towers

Hi,
Where is located the button to send gcode to Octoprint? And how to configure Cura with Octoprint API information, port, etc?
I already selected "Octoprint connection" in Plugins Preferences.
Tks

It's already a running joke at UM HQ that you really spend a lot of time not doing your taxes 
Thanks Tomhe that makes sense.

Disable use support towers.
> Where is located the button to send gcode to Octoprint?
If an Octoprint connection is found, I'd expect it to appear instead of the "Save to File" button. I don't know what configuration options it provides though.
It is necessary to insert the API of Octoprint in "Preferences - Printers - "..." - Connect to Octoprint".
It's now working.
It looks like the Support Meshes feature will allow for a custom support generation solution, especially when coupled with the option to Drop Down Support Mesh. The Drop Down options means we'd only need to have a small portion of the desired support structure which touches the model, and Cura can fill the support down to the print surface. Utilizing the Mesh Drop Down in this way requires the "support" model to float, however, which means disabling the option to always keep models on build surface. I'd love an option in the right-click menu to drop models down so we can leave the global drop model option turned off.
Disable use support towers.
disabled towers that removed the supports that did not connect to anything, but still got a couple random lines.
You're lucky guys - at my PC it crashes every time I´d like to add a new printer... or my customized printer... so no tests up to now possible...

Can you share you log files so we can investigate?
Hi!
I´m already in touch with @Nallath and shared at the corresponding GIT issue - https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/issues/1868
:-)
Thanksfor taking care!!

I just got 2:1 dual extrusion and I was very happy to see 2.6 has added support back in for multiple extruders.
One thing I noticed is that after closing out of Cura then relaunching it, my custom profile with multiple extruders has been reduced to a single extruder. Every time I want to slice something for my printer I have to recreate the printer profile or never close Cura.
Hey there, Custom FDM Dual Extrusion have a problem, with the Extruder specific setting (start/end Code). They won't used in the gcode. Only the Machine settings start/end gcode will be used.
second thing, what are the variables for extruder 1 and 2 first layer temp and first layer bed temp?
Edited by GuestAs of this Sunday, May 28th I will be the owner of a Cubex Trio.
I get my first spool of filament in the mail June 1st.
As soon as I've had a chance to play with it, I'll let you know the Pros and Cons; my successes and failures.
Thank You for this forum and all the suggestions herein.
I'm also looking for any configuration tweaks that will get me the best results from this printer.

It is really model dependent whether gradual infill will decrease print time and material use. The infill density close to the top surfaces is increased compared to the 20% infill setting, and in a 26 min print, all infill is close to the top surface. Try loading in a big model with lots of infill.
The infill percentage is the density of the most sense infill. You probably inadvertently changed the infill density when you enable gradual infill from the recommended settings.
Simply enabling gradual infill doesn't make the to of the infill more dense, it just makes the bottom less dense.
But there seems to be little support towers on their lonesome not connected to the model, mm away from it :/
The top of those support towers is probably cut off due to the xy distance. You can prevent this by disabling Support Towers.

It is also possible to disable plugins now. For example if you never use USB printing, you can disable it, thus preventing Cura from ever resetting your printer again. Or perhaps you have a hatred towards OctoPrint, and you don't want to see the button to connect your printer via OctoPrint. Did I mention that the OctoPrintPlugin now (finally) comes with Cura?
