Printer Bed Visibility Settings in Cura

[awilliamspvi 0]

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?

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?
