I've tested this plugin with the latest version of Cura and it works as expected.

Thank you for getting these plugins updated!

Could you adding maximum travel speed as another editable option? I need it since I cannot edit my printer’s configuration as Cura is installed as a snap and its application directory is immutable. This is the option I would need added:

Tested With and Without the Sidebarplugin and in both case we don't have the section related to the machine settings.

In the log file nothing special as message regarding this plugin ....

cura-log.zip

- INFO - [MainThread] UM.Logger.info [122]: Loaded plugin PrinterSettingsPlugin

From an ergonomy POV, Machine Settings should be in the first place in the settings !

It is the most important one.

And moreover, the nozzle diameter alters the line width. Shouldn't it live in the Quality section ?

There could be a Klipper friendly stripped down version of this plugin.

Imagine this : a Klipper user, that uses different toloheads/nozzles. {machine_nozzle_size} can be passed in the gcode file, and at the other end this parameter can be used for swapping PID, Z offsets and other information taking benefit of the conditional gcode... Until now, I've been using as many printer definitions as DIY indexable hotends I designed, using Marlin custom gcodes that do this. But the gcodes are on the Cura side. M810, M811 and so on. I'm sure many Cura fanboys that are switching to Klipper would be happy with just the nozzle diameter in the Quality settings section.

A tiny plugin, with just the nozzle diameter, in the Quality settings. (OK, could do it if only I was able to code Python. Unfortunately, I'm a structured C/C++ guy that learned coding in the late '70, and now too old to learn yet another langage ; have to learn jinja conditional gcode, while I had a very hard time making a custom Octoprint plugin. a couple years ago... I don't produce new neurones anymore ; just losing more and more ;) )

It was just an idea...

So, I have a question. Currently I'm gonna use this plugin to make my print time estimates more accurate, but do these settings actually overwrite the firmware defaults like you would by sending terminal commands?

For instance, if my max speed for X is set to, let's just say 500, in my firmware but I set it to 700 in the printer settings will it become 700 or will Cura just think it's 700?
Other than that, as usual, thank you for the effort!

Hello, I have been doing tests with cool down speed and it is not working how it is supposed to (or how I think its supposed to). I created the ticket on the Cura github issues board HERE but then realized its in this plugin. Basically I changed the cooling rate and part size and every time, the final print temperature is being triggered at the beginning of every other layer of infill. Same corner every time no matter what cooling rate or part size.

in the description of the plugin it says "Changes made in the sidebar override values set in the machine definition".
I changed the following value "max_acceleration_x" from 800 to 900. Then compared the gcode once. Only the time "TIME_ELAPSED" in the gcode has changed.
Should it not also be so that in the goce then a "M201" should be found as an example so that the acceleration is also really changed?
I have the two gcode files in the attachment (for uploading I changed from .code to .txt).

I have optimized my Curaprofil and my printers so that I can use a profile for several different printers. But the printers have different acceleration and speed values.
Is it possible to change these printer settings based on the printer selection? With Superslicer it is solved in such a way that speed, acceleration etc. is assigned to the respective printer.

max_acceleration_x800.txt
max_acceleration_x900.txt

The setting "Filament Park Distance" was removed from fdmprinter in 4.6, as it can be seen in Ultimaker/Cura@b5dfcdd.

This plugin doesnt seem to be compatible with cura version 5

HI thanks for your work and awesome plugin

One question, if i want to add firmware retraction so Klipper handles it, do i have to disable retraction in Cura setting or leave it enabled but at 0 mm ?

Hello together!

When i install & activate this Plugin in Cura 4.1, the Custom View Settings wont work anymore correct.
If i have set different Settings to Visible in the Cusstom Settings View und Switch for Example to "Basic" and then back to Custom Selection, only the Basic Options are Displayed and not my Custom Settings...

Here also the Link to the Issue from Github in Cura, where i have posted this problem for the first time:
Ultimaker/Cura#5824

Sorry i hope you can understood my bad English Skills ;)

Best Regards

the printer menue does not show up - neither in siedebar nor in preferences->configure cura->printer->printer settings

moreover default numerical values e.g. for maximum speed [xyz] and feedrate are unreasonable high (2997924580 - uninitialized variable?)

Hello,

Thank you for all your contributions to Cura!

Regarding this plugin, the initial values do not seem to reflect the actual values from the machine definition file. You can see this by installing a Creality3D Ender-3 and then looking at steps per mm for each axis.

I realize there is a "use at your own risk" message in the readme and if these reflected the actual values I believe it would result in safer use of the plugin so someone won't panic when they see these incorrect values.

Thanks again,

It isn't a bug, I think will be good if have klipper configuration on plugin, like Square Corner Velocity, Pressure Advance, etc, because the time is stay wrong when I use original preset for my printer with Marlin, so I adjust the velocity and the acceleration, but the klipper doens't use jerk.

Hi,
at the moment printer settings adds entries to the sidebar.

Could you implement the possibility to add entries from the sidebar to machine settings (printer/extruder)? Basically the counterpart of your material settings plugin.

It would be great to be able to e.g. set my retract distance per printer. But it should still be possible to override the settings with the print settings (sidebar) - also like your material settings plugin.

kind regards and thanks for your amazing plugins!

Hi, I have been working with printer settings to quickly change me nozzle from 0.4 to 1 for vase mode prints for the past few days but for some reason they disappeared from the print settings sidebar . Now I have set me nozzle to 1 mm and it is stuck there I can not return to 0.4 back . ecause of that whenever I set my line width to 0.4 the shows up in red because the slicer thinks my nozzle is 1mm.

To fix this issue I have done following:

1. restart cura and my laptop
2. disabled and than again enabled the plugin ( restarted cura twice for this)
3. uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin ( restarted cura twice for this)
4. Set settings visibility to all again and checked all the settings as visible
5. reinstalled cura 5.6.0

I saved a project before installing the plugin and if I now open that project the "printer settings" category disappears.

Is this a bug or is there something I need to do to have "printer settings' appear in the settings when loading a project?

This is with Cura 3.5. I will try older versions when I get a chance.
