Layer slider indicator

Hi All

Just received my UMS5 and have run a few small/medium sized jobs with quiet a few problems along the way, but that's a different topic.

My question is ... Where on the machine or software does it indicate the current layer its printing?

In the Preview window of Cura 4.4 the vertical slider shows every layer, however once you start printing you only get a percentage of total job completed

Am I missing something or what??

    Thanks Framar, I kept looking and didn't find that info anywhere.

    My Form2 indicates layer -- of -- right on the display and is a great feature. Although th UMS5 reads out time remaining for the job ..

    Not even Cura tells you that info, just gives a percentage of job completed but no current layer

        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.
