I am new to 3D printing and am having an issue.  I have a Labists et4 printer and uploaded the recommended profile.  I used MatterControl 2.0 to create a project,  then when I opened it with Cura 4.7.1, it read "print setup disabled.  G code file cannot be modified."  Therefore, I had no ability to use any functions in Cura other than print my project.  Any suggestions?  should I try using a different CAD program?  Thanks for your time

    slicers take as an input an STL file and as an output a gcode file.  The STL describes the model to print.  The gcode are commands to the printer.

     

    So the problem you had was that you were giving cura a gcode file.  Instead give it an STL file.  I mean cura can read gcode files and display them but that's it.  you can't slice something that is already sliced.

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        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.
