Camera view in Cura 4.5

[Starflashbully 5]

Hey friends, 

 

I startet several prints on my UM3E with Cura 4.5 via Network. Everything is doing fine, but I'm not able to start the camera view in Cura. What is going wrong?

 

The App is showing a stream, and via Browser everything works fine too!

 

Thanks a lot for your help!

Via network means locally or remote?

Cura can only show the stream on the local network. If you need it remotely then you have to go to the digital factory if you have connected your printer to the DF.

Hey @Smithy,

thanks for your message. I ment locally. I've just closed Cura and opened it again and then I could see the stream by clicking the camera symbol... quite strange ^^

Cura looses sometimes the connection or thinks it is lost. 

A Cura restart help or when I don't want to restart, I go to the printer settings page and click the connect button there and the connection is back normally.

Is it possible to reconnect during the print?

Sure, the reconnect in Cura doesn't disturb your print job.

Thanks, I will try this the next time 🙂

It really depends if you currently have something in Cura or not. A Cura restart is maybe faster than jumping in the settings menu, click the button and so on, but before you have to save the project the other way is maybe better.

 

Its up to you 🙂

One more thing, when my Cura looses the connection (often after I disconnect from a VPN connection) the "Print over network" button after slicing is also gone. In that case the reconnect via the settings pages works well.
