[Dim3nsioneer 557]

Restart Cura.

i did, multiple times. I already added other Plugins to my cura, which is why i wonder if there is something I missed, specifically with this plugin.

by the way, I am using Cura 14.12.1 on both Ultimaker 1 and 2. Maybe that helps?

When you get the file from github make sure you save the raw file and not the github page. Look at the content of your file. If it has xml content in it then you have the wrong file.

Here is the link just in case

thanks, but nothing happened. I copied the text from your link and replaced with it everything that is in the swapAtZ.py file I had before. After that I started Cura and still nothing.

Can you show me the path where you placed the file? It should be something like this:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Cura_14.12.1\plugins

Try this:

- Close Cura

- Delete this file: C:\Users\<username>\.cura\14.12.1\output_log.txt

- Open Cura

- Close Cura

- Post the content of the output_log.txt file (not more than the last 100 lines please )

hi again,

the path is exactly as you wrote: C:\Program Files (x86)\Cura_14.12.1\plugins

About the txt in the output_log.txt:

Listening for engine communications on 49674

Closing down

 

 

Since you wrote about 100 lines, I wonder if there is the problem.

 

thanks already

Hi Taires,

Any luck getting it to work? Your log doesn't contain any errors.

Are you sure you are starting the Cura associated with that version? I ask because I usually have 4 different versions installed and sometimes start the wrong one by mistake.

Can you try with a different version of Cura?

Is a fantastic work, I have tried testing with "only follow mesh surface" expert setting, but don't work (one gcode with and the other without this option). Do you know how fix this?

 

[pm_dude 27]

Hi,

Yes I know how to fix it. I just need the time to do it. I had the same issue with spiralize mode.

[nacho-pulido 0]

ok, thankyou. I know a little of python If can I help you, tell me

Hi Nacho,

I released a new version on youmagine that should fix your issue. I have only tested it a little due to my horrible schedule at the moment.

I hope this can help you.

doesn't work for me. when changing from normal mode to spiralized and referring to the normal gcode it still saves it spiralized (cura 15.02.1, tested different paths/ directories).

I tested it and... works great! :-P (tested with "only follow mesh surface" expert setting in cura 15.02.1)

Thank you for your efforts. Only that you can't see the final results in the layers view when you apply it. You need to close Cura and open the gcode (previously saved) for watching the result in layers view. If you fix this it would be brilliant.

 

 

[edit-mesh 1]

yes "only follow mesh surface" works great! THX!!!

Thank you so much for this plugin. I had some infill while I chose infill 0%, but with a solid infill top.

Thanks to your plugin, my problem is completely solved.

[pm_dude 27]

I'm pretty sure it wont work. I'll be looking into it in the coming week

[deepshots 2]
