Hi folks, so I have just installed Cura, to replace the Flashforge software that I am finding rather poor in performance.

I installed a profile for the Flashforge Creator 3 Pro from a file on thingiverse, just had to change print bed dimensions...

When I come to managing PLA type out of the PLA menu the software crashes, with the error

  

TypeError: float() argument must be a string or a real number, not 'SettingFunction'


The full listing is below...

    Sounds to me there’s a problem in that profile on thingiverse. But since you forgot to post a link to it, I can’t really tell you what causes the crash.

    I don't even get to a particular profile though! This comes up when I select profile manager and without selecting any profile! Anyway, my printer has more problems with this software atm!

    I will just leave the PLA type as generic for now

    Hey guys, I'm in the same situation as @ollyk2. I also use Cura instead of Flashprint with the "profile" from thingivers and everytime I try to manage my materials I get the same error message like ollyk2. This is the "profile"/instruction by ArteFlux I used to generate gcode in Cura suitable for the Creator 3 printer:

    https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4574596

    I'm actually not good in programming, but I guess there is a problem within the SettingsDefinitions.py file in line 757. 

      File "UM\Settings\SettingDefinition.py", line 757, in <lambda>
    "float": {"from": lambda v: str(round(float(v), 4)) if v is not None else "", "to": toFloatConversion, "validator": Validator},
TypeError: float() argument must be a string or a real number, not 'SettingFunction'

    Maybe someone can help.

    Thanks!

    Like I said before, the problem is with the "profile"/instructions.

      • Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        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.

        Ultimaker Cura 5.6 stable released

        ArunC posted a topic in UltiMaker Cura,

        Cura now supports Method series printers!
         
        A year after the merger of Ultimaker and MakerBotQQ, we have unlocked the ability for users of our Method series printers to slice files using UltiMaker Cura. As of this release, users can find profiles for our Method and Method XL printers, as well as material profiles for ABS-R, ABS-CF, and RapidRinse. Meaning it’s now possible to use either Cura or the existing cloud-slicing software CloudPrint when printing with these printers or materials
