Hi all
I have a TAZ6 which has been working well, but I’m having an odd problem with Cura. I am filling the build plate with objects, and saving the files as I go, updating the file each time I add models. Eventually, Cura crashes and I lose the build plate as a result. If I try to load the previous successful file, it indicates that it has loaded fine, but no models are visible. Anyone know what’s going on?
I have been trying both multiplying objects, and loading them each time I add one (3mf files), with no difference. Very frustrating.
The CuraLE (LulzBot Edition) 3.6.20 sources are based on an older version of the Ultimaker Cura sources and are still a 32 bit application. Current versions of Ultimaker Cura (4.5+) are obviously newer but are also a 64 bit application.
One of the ways I’ve solved the multiple object woes of CuraLE is to assemble the objects in Ultimaker Cura or some other application like Meshmixer, export them as an .stl file, and load this single .stl file into CuraLE.
I have created a TAZ 6 custom printer in Ultimaker Cura that has exactly the same dimensions as the TAZ 6 defined in CuraLE. I have copied across the start and end gcode with only minor modifications (less variables available in Ultimaker Cura) and have successfully sliced and printed objects that never pass through CuraLE.
Selecting all the objects on your build plate and grouping them together as one, then saving it as a Cura project (after slicing it) may work better for you. Then when you need to update your build plate, load the project, ungroup, add your new file, adjust your files where you want them, select all, group together, slice, save project.
