PrusaSlicer VS Cura

I do this with my Prusa MK3S with MMU2S. It cannot be done without this fix in PrusaSlicer, however (which hasn't been merged into a release).

If you’d like to support my request https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer/issues/11102 and leave a comment or a 👍. Any support is welcome and helps to get this feature implemented in PrusaSlicer. Thank you in advance!

That's it. I haven't seen many mentions of global variables other than This GitHub page from March so I hope this helps people.

Example: "The feature was ported from BambuStudio, thanks to @bambulab for the initial implementation." https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer/releases/tag/version_2.6.0-beta4

It may be worth filing a feature request issue for your use case with the PrusaSlicer project.

There is an issue with PrusaSlicer that needs to be fixed to make it work for true multi-material printing. At this time, the nozzle can jam when switching from a high temperature to a lower temperature filament, because the purge is attempted at the lower temperature, which can cause the nozzle to jam. I fixed it in this PR (so that purging happens at the higher of the two temperatures) but it never got merged into the current release, and given the PR backlog, I doubt it ever will. In any case, that fix converts the MMU into a true multi-material printer. I can now print PLA with PETG supports, for example. Or mix PLA with PLA+. I have to use my own PrusaSlicer build to do this, however.

Hi, I have a project based on https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer/tree/master that I want to create a .app for to try on another laptop. however i just can't figure out how. it seems like xcode build will do that for you, however upon using cmake with -GXcode it does create a project and I can debug/run my app with it. but there is no .app within the file structure.

Are you using Cura?

EDIT2: Turns out one of my problems was dodgy End code in Cura [5.4.0] Questionable end gcode in some default profiles for Anycubic printers · Issue #16621 · Ultimaker/Cura (github.com)

Full release notes and new Cura downloads can be found here https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/releases/tag/5.5.0

So I'm using beta version of Cura (5.5.0) with V3 SE profile from https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/pull/16796 and I just figured out that Creality print is way faster than Cura. As far as I can see, settings are almost identical; print speed is set to 180mm/s in both programs. I'm using stock PLA profile in Creality print and eSun pla+ profile in Cura - same temperature, infill, walls and fan settings.

github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/issues for a bug report including Windows version.

In this case, Cura is an open source project, so the most straightforward way of submitting a feature request would be by creating an Issue in the code repository, where you can explain your idea along with why it’s important to you, who else you think it could be valuable to, and what you want both minimally and ideally.

If you're using the Startup Optimizer plugin, try disabling it temporarily - it can occasionally interfere with the list of available printers. Should that not help you could manually re-insert the profile by copying this JSON into the appropriate directory (eg C:\Program Files\UltiMaker Cura 5.4.0\share\cura\resource\definitions).

This reminds me of this known issue we mentioned in the changelog: Support Brim is missing if the Buildplate Adhesion is set to None. We are tracking reports here.

Yes..there's some sort of bug in 5.3..5.2 is ok, the developers are working on a patch for the new version: https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/issues/14811
