Feature Requests for V5

Fab software but a couple of things which would make it 'fabber' for me:

 

1> Graduated Infill to surface (3D) rather than top (2D)

 

GI is a great idea and works well for some things but can lead to very weak areas lower down the model. e.g a housing with thin walls

 

GI should calculate infill density from the nearest surface instead of the top. e.g. If you are printing a sphere you want high density infill all around the inside surface but the center might as well be empty.

 

2> Profile for Creality Ender-2 Pro printer

 

3> Profile for Polymaker Polyterra PLA filament

    Cura already has this, it's called "cubic subdivision". See https://github.com/Ghostkeeper/SettingsGuide/blob/master/resources/articles/infill/sub_div_rad_add.md

    Profiles from machines and materials from third parties (eg; Not Ultimaker) are added because the manufacturer or a community member contributes them to us. We don't have the resources to create and add those profiles.

    Thanks for the reply, I am still new to all this and missed this infill pattern amid the mass of options.

     

    I will also prod the manufacturers support people about the profiles.

        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.
