🔥Cura Community ~ Fire Side Chat🔥

[MariMakes]

We want to start a new tradition. At the end of every month, we want to take a moment to listen to what our moderators and community members want to share. We can also share a few improvements that we are expecting and ways we want to share our appreciation for your contributions. 💕

Do you want to join our online call?
Please fill in the form below to receive a zoom invite.

Hopefully, we can find a time that works for everyone, or we'll split up to fit everyone's needs. 🤞
If you are not available for the upcoming one, don't worry we plan to have one every month and we'll send you the notes. 💪
Feel free to tag anyone that you think would like to receive this invite and join us for a chat. 👍

I promised the end of June, unfortunately, that promise was a bit too ambitious with the work around the Cura 5.4 release. 😰 I apologize for the delay.

But we have a date now! 🎉

Cura Community Fireside Chat Number 1
Next week: Friday, July 7th 12:00 UTC

If you want to join, please fill in the form above to sign up.
If you cannot make it this time, no big deal, we want to make this a monthly thing.

[fieldOfView]

Hah, thanks for the delay! I knew I had seen the invitation come by somewhere, but for the life of me I could not find it back.
I'm in!

[GregValiant]

Do I need to install any particular software?

[MariMakes]

Not that I know off 🤔 I believe Zoom prompts the installation itself once you start the meeting if you don't have the software available.

[MariMakes]

Next week Friday will be the next Cura Community Fire Side Chat.

Would you be interested in joining @printingotb, @Piezoid, @Cycov?
If you complete the form above I can send you an invite.

[MariMakes]

🤛 Bump! We have another one coming up this Friday, would you be interested to join?
If you sign up I can send you the invite

[jellespijker]

@TheSin- is this something that you might be interested in?

[TheSin-]

The Fire Side Chat? Yes I am, I'm just dealing with a work crisis ATM, but I wanted to check dates and times to make sure I could make it before committing.

[jellespijker]

No rush or pressure, this is a monthly recurring thing.

[MariMakes]

Hey @TheSin-

Good luck with your work crisis. It sounds important 🏃‍♂️
The upcoming one is September 29th, UTC 12:00.
If you sign up I can send you the invite

[TheSin-]

Thank you. I'm going to try to join in 12 UTC is early for me, but not unmanageable.

[mikeydoom]

I'm glad to finally an Ender 5 S1 profile in the new beta.

However there are a couple of issues wrong with the profile.

The Z height is set to 305.0, it should be 280.0

The default retraction distance is 2mm, it should be 0.8.

That's all that's wrong.

[GregValiant]

@thomaspleasance put the files together for that. If you would contact him he may have an explanation of why he added the setting values that he used.

Please share this in an appropriate place if you would as I am not finding this sight overly user friendly for a none cpu person like me. either way, I think all slicers should have a machine usage even wear option: I like to move my prints around to even timing belt, rail, wheels and platform wear. I mean creating a random placement would probably be super easy for one of you programmers but creating a even use function might be more hard: say breaking the x,z axis travel into 1 inch blocks and logging use and runtime and placing models to even machine wear- it would be a useful function that I am surprised doesn't already exist. Also I have a K1 Max and I notice there is no listing, I have been using it and I think cura is the best or the one I like and hope a K1 max option will soon be available as creality print doesn't even load on my laptop for some odd reason. Hope it is a good idea or helps people.

[fieldOfView]

The Mesh Tools plugin has an option to randomize model placement on load. It is available for free in the Marketplace.

@chipmunk1977 would you like to join the next fireside chat.

[chipmunk1977]

I wasn't there last month, but normally I take part.

[TheSin-]

@MariMakes I'm sorry I missed the last FireSide, I tried to email you but I don't think I have to right email. I'd really like to be part of the Nov FireSide.

[GregValiant]

12-1 at 8:00 AM my time. Got it.
I have the analog switch on my laptop camera figured out. It slides to the right to uncover the lens.
Pathetic really.

Yay! See you there 😄

I can't start a new chat. I created a new post on the Cura forums. They pointed me back here.

So... I'd like to have Cura running on FreeBSD. Cura 4.x built on FreeBSD. So... I started poking at it.

The build for CuraEngine is pretty complex, but the issue that's sticking is that some portion of the build is putting -std=gnu++11 on the command line of the compiler but somewhere in protobuf requires C++14 as a minimum standard. It says so with a static_assert().

I've gotten the build system to add either -std=c++14 or -std=gnu++14, but the -std=gnu++11 remains. Very disheartening.

My latest effort's build log is here: https://v4.nextcloud.towernet.ca/s/3MM5cKxSjD6NzZ4 ... and I'd love to have my own discussion for this :).

[GregValiant]

This page is a discussion group for the moderators, contributors and such to pass notes for the monthly meetings. If you require support or need questions answered you should post on Reddit in the Cura sub-reddit or on the UM Forum. Reddit also has sub-reddits for particular printer models.
Be concise. Consider that you never mentioned what printer you are having a problem with or what operating system you have or what Cura version you are trying to use.
After installing Cura to your system and then your printer in Cura, hit the blue "Slice" button.

buongiorno, vorrei segnalare un errore sulle impostazioni di una stampante. non so come contattare gli autori del programma quindi lo scrivo qui nella speranza che qualcuno possa aiutarmi. se seleziono la stampante Creality ender 3 v3 ke nelle impostazioni di velocità arriva a 150 mm/s anzichè 500mm/s. non so come cambiare personalmente il g code quindi chiedo un aiuto. grazie

[GregValiant]

There is an Italian sub-forum within the main Ultimaker Forum. You can ask for help in either one.
If you are using Creality Cura then you must ask over on the Creality support site.

In the printer definition file the Maximum Speed of the X and Y axis is 500mm/sec. That is very likely too high to print or travel at with your printer.

If you are trying to adjust the speed from the LCD then that is "Percentage" and not speed. If you were to slice a model using a print speed of 60mm/sec, and set the LCD to 150%, then your effective speed would be 90mm/sec.

Y'know it has just dawned on me that your system still doesn't want to automatically send me the invitations to this. Not that I feel like my contributions will be all that meaningful (my mind has been scattered enough that I've not noticed it's been months since last I attended) but I still feel bad for missing them.

Any solution you can think of beyond looking for a new email provider?
