Hey guys,

 

i got some 3mf files from a friend and imported them into Cura. 

The problem I experience is, that due that import Cura change which print settings are visible. 

This only happens if I'm importing them as a project, not just loading the models. 

 

It is really annoying since every time I have to get all my settings back. 

As a workaround I just saved a 3mf file with just a small object and all settings visible now so I can reconstruct it. But is there a easier way?

 

Note: An empty build plate don't work

 

Greetings

    Yes, install Aldo's excellent setting visibility saver plugin and then you can simply reload your settings after loading a project.

    Thanks for the reply. 

    This is a very nice plugin, I still think that they should remove the visibility change at import, but with this it's getting much easier

      • 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.
