Unable to delete PLA+ material

Posted · Unable to delete PLA+ material

Before I knew about the PLA/PLA+ limitation I inadvertently created a bunch of materials with Material Type set to PLA+

 

Now I cannot delete them, regardless of whether they are 'active' or not.

I wish to just delete the .material XML file or edit it directly, however, I cannot find them in either ~/.config/cura/ or ~/.local/share/cura/

Can someone advise how to get rid of these junk material profiles?

 

Cheers

    They should be in the materials folder.

    It's a bit weird that it doesn't let you delete it though. It should only do that if it considers them to be bundled materials.

    Yeah, it's weird. Definitely not bundled as I recall creating it as a custom material.

     

    The recursive grep is showing it's not finding the display name anywhere in the Cura directories that I know of, which includes the materials subdirectories.

    But can you check if there are any materials in the materials folder? It has to get them from somewhere... All user made profiles end up in those folders, so it has to be there.

      • 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.
