HI, I want to join two models on Cura to print, but I would need for one of them not to touch the buildplate. So far every time I open something on Cura it is locked to the buildplate, unlike Chitubox for example, where you can lift the object for printing. I was wondering if there is something I can do directly through cura before looking into modifying the files. 

Thanks

    I floated models by CAD before, too. I can lift them now when I turn off " Automatically drop models to the build plate" switch by setting of Cura.

    Hey @gisireji,

     

    This report reminds me of https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/issues/15179

    Can you try the following:

     

    1. Turn off "Generate Support".

    2. Go to the Mesh Fixes settings and turn off "Remove Empty First Layers".

    3. Turn on "Generate Support"

     

    I believe it's resolved with the next release with this fix: https://github.com/Ultimaker/CuraEngine/commit/3b1f2e612534f0ed05e022159a5308a6d2c30479

      • UltiMaker Cura 5.3 stable released

        UltiMaker Cura 5.3 stable released

        ArunC posted a topic in UltiMaker Cura,

        In this stable release, Cura 5.3 achieves yet another huge leap forward in 3D printing thanks to material interlocking! As well as introducing an expanded recommended print settings menu and lots of print quality improvements. Not to mention, a whole bunch of new printer profiles for non-UltiMaker printers!

        Cura Alpha With New Tree Support 🎄

        MariMakes posted a topic in UltiMaker Cura,

        Are you a fan of tree support, but dislike the removal process and the amount of filament it uses? Then we would like to invite you to try this special release of UltiMaker Cura. Brought to you by our special community contributor @thomasrahm
         
        We generated a special version of Cura 5.2 called 5.3.0 Alpha + Xmas. The only changes we introduced compared to UltiMaker Cura 5.2.1 are those which are needed for the new supports. So keep in mind, this is not a sneak peek for Cura 5.3 (there are some really cool new features coming up) but a spotlight release highlighting this new version of tree supports.
