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. 💕

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.

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 :).
