Sorry, I'm not an Ultimaker owner.Two years ago ( when I was 80 )  I decided to start with 3D printing as my new hobby. Recently  I stopped using the Repetier-Host and started to use Cura 4.2.1 and I would be very grateful to get some help.

Since  started to use Cura 4.2.1 I can not edit, to add a G code....., and hope to find here the help I'm looking for.

Best Regards,

Abraham Gome

    Hi @abrgome I've created a new topic for you in the correct sub-category (Cura). This increases the chances of someone reading your question who knows the answer. Perhaps, in the meantime, you can elaborate a little bit on your question. 

    Is Cura not producing gcodes, or do you not know how to do it? 

     

    Thank you,

    Hi,

    Thanks for your prompt reaction. Those days I voluntired to print a part for a face sheild  fused by the coronavirus fighters using an STL file I received. The problem is that when printing ends the nozzle is near fo touching the surface of the print and makes difficult to remove the part. I'm interested to add/change the last Gcode before printing stops so, the hotbed will move 20 - 30 mm from the  product surface. I do not know how to see the "Gcode edit" window.

    Your kind help will be more than appreciated.

    Abraham Gome

      • UltiMaker Cura 5.3 stable released
        In this stable release, Cura 5.3 achieves yet another huge leap forward in 3D printing thanks to material interlocking! As well as introducing an expanded recommended print settings menu and lots of print quality improvements. Not to mention, a whole bunch of new printer profiles for non-UltiMaker printers!
          • Thanks

      • Here it is. The new UltiMaker S7
        The UltiMaker S7 is built on the success of the UltiMaker S5 and its design decisions were heavily based on feedback from customers.
         
         
        So what’s new?
        The obvious change is the S7’s height. It now includes an integrated Air Manager. This filters the exhaust air of every print and also improves build temperature stability. To further enclose the build chamber the S7 only has one magnetically latched door.
         
        The build stack has also been completely redesigned. A PEI-coated flexible steel build plate makes a big difference to productivity. Not only do you not need tools to pop a printed part off. But we also don’t recommend using or adhesion structures for UltiMaker materials (except PC, because...it’s PC). Along with that, 4 pins and 25 magnets make it easy to replace the flex plate perfectly – even with one hand.
         
        The re-engineered print head has an inductive sensor which reduces noise when probing the build plate. This effectively makes it much harder to not achieve a perfect first layer, improving overall print success. We also reversed the front fan direction (fewer plastic hairs, less maintenance), made the print core door magnets stronger, and add a sensor that helps avoid flooding.
         

         
        The UltiMaker S7 also includes quality of life improvements:
        Reliable bed tilt compensation (no more thumbscrews) 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi A 1080p camera (mounted higher for a better view) Compatibility with 280+ Marketplace materials Compatibility with S5 project files (no reslicing needed) And a whole lot more  
        Curious to see the S7 in action?
        We’re hosting a free tech demo on February 7.
        It will be live and you can ask any questions to our CTO, Miguel Calvo.

      • UltiMaker Cura Alpha 🎄 Tree Support Spotlight 🎄
        Are you a fan of tree support, but dislike the removal process and the amount of filament it uses? Then we would like to invite you to try this special release of UltiMaker Cura. Brought to you by our special community contributor @thomasrahm
         
        We generated a special version of Cura 5.2 called 5.3.0 Alpha + Xmas. The only changes we introduced compared to UltiMaker Cura 5.2.1 are those which are needed for the new supports. So keep in mind, this is not a sneak peek for Cura 5.3 (there are some really cool new features coming up) but a spotlight release highlighting this new version of tree supports.
