How to make custom material compatible with custom printer

Posted · How to make custom material compatible with custom printer

I am attempting to 3D print concrete using a delta wasp 40100. After adding the printer, I cannot seem to get any imported material to be considered compatible. I have two printers added, one using the ultimaker 2 flavor and another using the marlin flavor. I cannot get newly added materials to be compatible with either. I would like to use the ultimaker flavor as to avoid the print stopping from insufficient heating (extruder does not use temperature) and added a code to circumnavigate that. If anyone knows how I can get a custom material to be considered compatible so I can edit the material to make it functional, I would be beyond grateful.

    Some printer definition files mark certain materials as not compatible, i.e. from the UltiMaker 2 definition file:

            "exclude_materials": [
                "generic_bam",
                "generic_cffcpe",
                "generic_cffpa",
                "generic_flexible",
                "generic_gffcpe",
                "generic_gffpa",
                "generic_hips",
                "generic_petcf",
                "generic_petg",
                "generic_pva",
                "generic_tough_pla",
                "structur3d_",
                "ultimaker_bam",
                "ultimaker_petcf",
                "ultimaker_petg",
                "ultimaker_pva",
                "ultimaker_tough_pla"
            ],

    If you've created a printer or material from scratch, this shouldn't be a problem.

     

    If the problem is that you're just getting a material showing as "Not supported":

    That just means that Cura has no quality profiles for that material. You can set all the print quality settings, save the quality profile, and that will print fine.
