I'm trying to understand the "Generate Interlocking Structure" and associated settings but I can't seem to get the results I'd expect.  In my efforts to understand things, I downloaded the Crocodile Clip .3mf file and tried to duplicate the results. As you can see, my results are very different  from the feature introduction article https://ultimaker.com/learn/unlock-true-multi-material-printing-with-ultimaker-cura-5-3/.  This would obviously not function as desired.

 

I'm running Version 5.5 on a Mac if that makes any difference.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    How have you set up Cura so that it knows you have different materials in each extruder?

    Slashee, CUQ

    Thanks for your responses.  I figured it out.  If you have your "Color Scheme" in Preview set to "Line Type",  it does not separate colors by material. If you change it to "Material Color",  then it shows what I was expecting to see.  So it was working all along, I just needed a different point of view.  🙂

     

    Again, Thanks!

        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...

        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.
