The Cura plugin also requires you to create a machine that uses it. It's also made for velocity extrusion, so you would need to use a config that also uses velocity extrusion. It's one or the other. Then you will be outputting ngc files instead of gcode, and E/A will disappear. E/A will be replaced by commands to 'start extruding' and 'stop extruding'. How much to extrude will be dynamically calculated.
