I usually just use Ultimaker materials, but today after I installed 4.4.1, I created a new test material. Saved my project, closed Cura, opened Cura, and the new material was there.
4.4.1 seems to be functional in this regards.
Good luck

Thanks for your feedback @D95.
It seems, something with my update installation went wrong as no one else report this behavior. I will make a new install and see what happen.
I'm having the same trouble only I cannot create a new (custom) material under Cura 4.4.1 Mac OS. Any suggetstions?
There is a bug in the current version of the Material Settings plugin that prevents creating new materials. I’ll try to release a fixed version soon.

That's what Cura is for, and we're here to help, but please don't just add your request for help to an unrelated topic. If you have a question that is not related to an existing topic, please start a new one.
Works again with the new Material Settings plugin version 3.5.3.
Thanks.
Hello this issue is still happening, on Cura 4.4.1 & 4.5 I just upgraded, & still unable to add materials. I’m running Cura 4.5 on High Sierra
Had you update your plugin(s) (Material Settings plugin) too?

Yes, I have also tried your method to disable plugin, but when I do all the buttons are greyed out, when plugin is active I have Create but does nothing when clicked
As I saw, you are printing with a Tevo Black widow. Is it possible that you are using the standard definition file?
Maybe I am wrong, but the definition file says:
"metadata": {
"visible": true,
"author": "TheTobby",
"manufacturer": "Tevo",
"file_formats": "text/x-gcode",
"has_materials": false,
"has_machine_quality": true,
"platform": "tevo_blackwidow.stl",
"preferred_quality_type": "normal",
"machine_extruder_trains":
Shouldn't this be "has_materials": true ?
Quote
# Whether your machine has the possibility to choose different material profiles. # If this is set to "true", you will see the materials selection menu in Cura for your machine. "has_materials": true,
You maybe on to something, how do I find & edit that file? I'll check that & let you know
Hi Diving Duck you are correct, I modified that entry & now I can select & modify materials, Thanks!
Edited by CrisisYou are welcome, I'm happy to help.
Its been a while since I've 3d printed, alot has changed & I have forgotten alot, but I plan to brushup asap.
I see there is a lot of changes in Cura, can you point me to the best resource to re-learn the basics?
"The best" is always a personal choice and mostly out of date 🙂
Maybe the setting guide plugin in Cura is a good starting point.
I fond the ebook "3D Printing Failures" from Sean Aranda (aka The print general) as a helpful book of reference when it comes to print failures.
Ok thanks will try that out, I have question about fan speed, I cant seem to go from 0 on the initial layer upto 100% on layer 10 for ex. cura always ramps up the fan speed from layer 1 upto layer 10 then goes to 100%.
I used to like Perusa Slic3r but I find the new ver. to be very buggy
Edited by CrisisHi I think that I'm having the same issue. I have just installed Cura 4.5.0 and when I try to access the materials there is only Unknown. If I add a different printer I can access the materials.
I have looked for a definitions file but I'm unable to open the only one I could find which was in the resources/definitions folder.
Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, it seems you have the same issue. The path is c:\Program Files\Ultimaker Cura 4.5\resources\definitions\ (Windows10)
As fare as I can see, you have the same entry in file ultimaker2.def.json (ultimaker2_extended.def.json points to this file). For changing you need to open the file with administrator rights. Make a save copy of the original file.
I'm a bit concerned about this modification at that place, as this is something what needs to be updated with each update as it differ from the standard setup. I wonder why they have choose this behavior.
Anyway, you can also make a own definition file as copy and modify there the behavior you want. That is maybe the better way.
Hi Diving Duck,
I'll have a look and see if I can sort it out.
Thanks for your help.
