Better that then  not posting them and getting all sorts of requests for the references!

Jody - that's pretty funny. But, I agree with Andy on his pre-emptive posting!

So, FYI Andy (and Whitney), Cura has ironing. You can type in "Iron" in the setting search, right at the top of the settings menu, and you'll find it there under "Experimental". 

And incidentally, I find it funny that you said that Cura has so many settings, but then you're constantly going on about how you're using Simplify3D for everything. I really like that cura has a search function for their settings. Makes the whole "where do I find the settings" thing kinda pointless, because if you know what you're looking for, you can just type it in and find it.

The assumption you seem to be making is that one already knows the name of the setting… or even trickier that the name is what they think it is. And… I recall taking about using Cura’s ironing… perhaps that’s in a different segment… maybe you’ll find that funny or interesting and will make a comment on it..
And… incidentally, I use more than one slicer. Why is that something you feel you need to make a snarky comment on? I find it NOT funny how you seem to be doing that more and more. Perhaps this is your way of asking me to watch your YouTube vids so I can make snarky comments about you? If so, forget it. I won’t watch your YouTube vids.
