Hide Cura printer bed visually

[LeoY 0]

Hi,

 

Is there an option to hide the printerbed temporary in Cura (3.5). The reason is when the bottom-part of the printobject is checked, it is not very well visible due to the printerbed drawn in Cura.

Also when using the custom support-addon, or custom support blocker-addon at the bottom area of the printobject, then the same issue occurs (bad visibility of the printobject).

Not at the moment. It's not that hard to make, but it's probably mostly an issue of "Where are we going to put the button that handles this"

The left side where also the button is for the custom support (blocker) would be great :)

Maybe when more people use the mentioned addon's (or different ones), then the neccesity of such feature will be more noticable.
Thanks for your fast reply.

How has this feature never been added? Why would it default to showing the screws and springs under the bed when it chugs slow enough just loading two stl files?

Because it's not the bed rendering that is causing the slowdown 😉
