|
||
|
||
*Material Profiles
|
||
New material profiles for CPE+, PC, Nylon and TPU for the Ultimaker 2+ family.
|
||
|
||
[2.1.2]
|
||
|
||
Cura has been completely reengineered from the ground up for an even more seamless integration between hardware, software and materials. Together with its intuitive new user interface, it’s now also ready for any future developments. For the beginner Cura makes 3D printing incredibly easy, and for more advanced users, there are over 200 customizable settings.
|
||
|
||
*Select Multiple Objects
|
||
You now have the freedom to select and manipulate multiple objects at the same time.
|
||
|
||
*Grouping
|
||
You can now group objects together to make it easier to manipulate multiple objects.
|
||
|
||
*Undo/Redo
|
||
You can now undo and redo your actions, like moving an object or scaling.
|
||
|
||
*Setting Profiles
|
||
The new GUI allows custom profiles to load easily and intuitively, directly from Cura.
|
||
|
||
*3MF File Loading Support
|
||
We’re happy to report we now support loading 3MF files. This is a new file format similar to AMF, but freely available.
|
||
|
||
*Intuitive Cut-Off Object Bottom
|
||
We’ve added a feature that allows you to move objects below the build plate. You can either correct a model with a rough bottom, or print only a part of an object. Please note that the implementation differs greatly from the old one when it was just a setting.
|
||
|
||
*64-bit Windows Builds
|
||
An optimized 64-bit Windows Cura version is now available. This allows you to load larger model files.
|
||
|
||
*Automatic calculations
|
||
Cura allows you to set a number of lines/layers instead of millimeters. The engine automatically calculates the right settings.
|
||
|
||
*Per-Object Settings
|
||
Per-object settings allow you to override individual profile settings per object.
|
||
|
||
*Engine Features
|
||
|
||
*Line Width
|
||
Line width settings added per feature: Global, Walls, Top/Bottom, Infill, Skirt, Support.
|
||
|
||
*Pattern Settings
|
||
Pattern settings improved per feature: Top/Bottom, Infill, Support.
|
||
|
||
*Shell
|
||
|
||
*Alternate Skin Rotation
|
||
Helps to combat the pillowing problem on top layers.
|
||
|
||
*Alternate Extra Wall
|
||
For better infill adhesion.
|
||
|
||
*Horizontal Expansion
|
||
Allows to compensate model x,y-size to get a 1:1 result.
|
||
|
||
*Travel
|
||
|
||
*Avoid Printed Parts
|
||
When moving to the next part to print, avoid collisions between the nozzle and other parts which are already printed.
|
||
|
||
*Support
|
||
|
||
*Stair Step Height
|
||
Sets the balance between sturdy and hard to remove support. By setting steps of the stair-like bottom of the support resting on the model.
|
||
|
||
*ZigZag
|
||
A new, infill type that’s easily breakable, introduced specially for support.
|
||
|
||
*Support Roofs
|
||
A new sub-feature to reduce scars the support leaves on overhangs.
|
||
|
||
*Support Towers
|
||
Specialized support for tiny overhang areas.
|
||
|
||
*Special Modes
|
||
|
||
*Surface Mode
|
||
This mode will print the surface of the mesh instead of the enclosed volume. This used to be called ‘Only follow mesh surface’. In addition to the ‘surface mode’ and ‘normal’, a ‘both’ mode has now been added. This ensures all closed volumes are printed as normal and all loose geometry as single walls.
|
||
|
||
*Experimental Features
|
||
|
||
*Conical Support
|
||
An experimental filament, cost-reduction feature, for support.
|
||
|
||
*Draft Shield
|
||
Prints a protective wall at a set distance around the object that prevents air from hitting the print, reducing warping.
|
||
|
||
*Fuzzy Skin
|
||
Prints the outer walls with a jittering motion to give your object a diffuse finish.
|
||
|
||
*Wire Printing
|
||
The object is printed with a mid-air / net-like structure, following the mesh surface. The build plate will move up and down during diagonal segments. Though not visible in layer view, you can view the result in other software, such as Repetier Host or http://chilipeppr.com/tinyg.
