I will try to again... 

If it fails, I will send you an STL file without subtitles.
Btw.. Slicer preview  (PrusaSlicer 2.1.0):

Thank you, Jarek,

Today I learned something a bit and stopped using Cura, but installed Repetier-Host and PrusaSlicer...
It is completely in the Czech language and I think much more better for me.
(I assumed that Cura is the most widespread in the world, so it should be the best. But today I read an
article - probably from Prusa - that it is very complex and chaotic to operate. I struggled with it for 1 year.)

We will see -> now I'm trying another attempt...

Eureka! Printed without any problems. Things seem much easier with Czech software ...



Thank you for your help.

Looks better

It's a good idea.

...for me, things always seem much easier with Czech beer!! 

That looks very good, Zdenek. I too have been using Cura since I got my printer last year. I have had some good results using it, but I have also had a lot of failures. I installed Prusa Slicer a week ago and have started to learn how to use it, but I have not yet printed anything with it. I think I will try the front plate for the Pro2+ case again. I have a good one using Cura but have always thought the logo could be better. I will now try with Prusa and find out!

Allan.

Good stuff Zdenek

 Yes, Allan, you are right!

Ultimaker Cura is good, because you can slice and print too with it. When you use PrusaSlicer, it can't print, you have to use another software.
I installed the Repetier-Host v2.1.6 (not Repetier-Server -> it is enabled by default!) the first. It has PrusaSlicer inside, but old version,
so after this I has installed PrusaSlicer v2.2.0-alpha2. And at the end is needed to configure Repetier-Host "directory with config files of Creality Ender-3",
in my case they are in C:\Users\hornychz\AppData\Roaming\PrusaSlicer-alpha (it is a hidden directory).

I must say that PrusaSlicer has much more better preview then Cura and Repetier-Host can display printing process, Cura doesn't it...

Seems I will not have a 3D printer so soon . Too many things to learn , and WeatherDuino already takes up all the free time I have.

Contrarily to what I said on previous post, I decided to join the club... Finally I bought a 3D printer!
From my side, its possible that WeatherDuino development will slow down a bit on the upcoming times. I always liked to do one thing at the time, and give all attention to what I'm doing at the momment. Now its time to learn about 3D printing... (hopefully)

Great! What model did you buy?
