Printer Bed Visibility Settings in Cura

Posted (edited) · Printer Bed Visibility Settings in Cura

When using Cura configured for the S5 printer (and I assume similarly for other Ultimaker products), a rendering of the S5 build plate and surrounding features are surrounding the build volume. See attached image. Is there a setting on Cura to remove this rendering so that the only thing visible is the build volume and the bottom grid?image.thumb.png.6f51b844642cf7a1c087cd041bc654ef.png

    Not if you use the Ultimaker S5 definition and profiles.

    You could edit the ultimaker_s5.def.json file to remove the `        "platform": "ultimaker_s5_platform.obj",`   line, but you would have to do that again when you install a new version of Cura.

     

    Also: why?

        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.
