Cura not seeing my materials added from Marketplace

[OzzytheMozzy 0]

Hi All. I have a S5 with materials station, running Cura 4.8.0. S5 running 5.8.2.

When adding material to Cura from the Marketplace, it does not show up in materials. Not even after restarting Cura, logging out and in again. 

The material I was adding is the generic HIPS. Please help!

I don't have a solution, but a possible reason:

 

1. printer definitions for Cura contain a list of excluded materials
2. "Generic HIPS" is the first entry in this list for all Ultimaker printers
3. i don't know the reason 🙂

Can I then create a "false" name for the HIPS under for example PINK ABS? Will Cura still send the "HIPS" feeds, temp etc... to the S5 correctly?

I just got done doing this for the first time. I added a filament called Polycast by Polymaker.

 

I did take a few times closing and opening Cura for it to eventually show up. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

I'm having exactly the same issue as the OG poster.
I have an S5 and I'm running Cura 4.13.1

Generic HIPS will not show up in the drop down.
I've verified that I can download other materials and install them and get them to appear in the drop down (after a restart) but the same approach does not work with Generic HIPS.

Did anyone ever solve this?

Hey @BensJammin,

 

Welcome to the Ultimaker Community 🎉

@tinkergnome is right! It requires a bit of tinkering under the hood, and you'll probably have to redo it if you download a new version of Ultimaker Cura. 

If you find the ultimaker.def.json file in your Cura Projectfiles you can remove "generic_hips"

 

Than the material should show up again!
Hope this helps! Good luck! 💪

Thank you so much! I'll try it asap and post the results!
