Hello everyone!
Recently I tried the new Cura 3 slicer, create a custom profile for my DP5, and make a couple of xyz cubes to run a test and I noticed something quite strange, like a "regression" in my printing settings in the terms that I have to manage myself now to create new custom settings, temperatures, layer heights, speed... for example for PLA that is my main material for printings. That made me go back to the old Cura heheh Anyone tried this slicer? Or experienced this same "issue"? If you do, I really appreciate some settings to try them up!
Take care and thanks to everyone who reads my post!

I'm running 3.0, no problems here. I printed a bench with it, looked like good quality, I did use a new filament but it did seem like it liked to print 4 degrees cooler than the same brand filament I printed before. The old one was black, this ones white so I wrote it off as black usually prints hotter than white(just an observation) Did you use a recommended print setting or custom? I do feel the recommended settings are a little fast for the dp5. How about some pics? Maybe we can direct the issue to help you tune in better

That's a bench that I tried to print in Cura 3.0.4 and a vase that I printed a week ago in 15.04. PLA from MakerParts white and black as you can see. And those are the exact settings that I used... I couldn't even finish the benchy...

That kinda looks like under extrusion to me try running the old version of cura to see if it still does it, if it does than I recommend cold pulls. Also, check your old temp settings, I've never gotten a good print at that low temp on the stock dp5, I don't think the extruder has enough torque myself. Anyways, just my 2 cents

Hi, my brother had the same issue with cura 3, it was a strange bug with the filament diameter. Try this: change the value of the filament diameter to any kind of number, let’s say 2.0, hit enter and go back to 1.75.....

Round 2: Now it finished! I follow both of your suggestions, changing the diameter and doing a cold pull. Also I increased the temperature, now it's at 230º nozzle and 70º bed. I looked at my previous settings and I used 195º for nozzle and 62º for bed but with a black PLA. Any suggestions to improve this one? Looks like the front it's melted haha! Thanks!!

Def a little too hot. I'd try about 215 or so, and rotate model 180 so the bow faces the cooling fan it's a sweet little cheat

Round 3:
Rotated the model 180°, nozzle 215°, bed 62° (more similar to my Cura 15.04 settings). Still melting the side that's far away from the layer fan (I have the stock one) What would you recommend? Changing the layer fan? Anyone in particular? Playing around with temperatures? Thanks for the help!

You might be able to cool down another 5 degrees, I'd try this while its printing though. I'd also try dropping the speed a little, maybe 40mm/sec. this might let your fan cool off a little more before it moves outta range.

Minus 5 degrees and 40mm/s

Same settings but 0.1 resolution still a few "melting" parts in the back... it seems that it's not cooling enough the layer fan... what can I do?
