![]() - Infill pattern: from triangles to lines => less strong but better visual appearance on large horizontal surfaces - Infill before walls: from true to false => prevent infill push out walls and show artefacts - skin_monotonic:from false to true => low reduction in print time vs large quality increase Note: this switch also sets: retraction_combing from 'all' to 'noskin' The 'noskin' options prevents scarring in top surfaces and gloss streaking in large horizontal surfaces See: CURA-7976 for details - wall_material_flow: from 100% to 90% => reduces line width variations due to overextrusion in walls. Less gloss streaking and more uniform horizontal walls - top_bottom_pattern: from lines to zigzag => prevent the short jerky travel moves of the lines pattern around the walls. Results in a nicer top surface - meshfix_maximum_resolution from (speed_wall_0 + speed_wall_x) / 60 to (speed_wall_0 + speed_wall_x) / 150 => reduce visibility of line segments due to rounding. This will create a higher change of a buffer underrun = surface blobs |

Cura
Ultimaker Cura is a state-of-the-art slicer application to prepare your 3D models for printing with a 3D printer. With hundreds of settings and hundreds of community-managed print profiles, Ultimaker Cura is sure to lead your next project to a success.
Logging Issues
For crashes and similar issues, please attach the following information:
- (On Windows) The log as produced by dxdiag (start -> run -> dxdiag -> save output)
- The Cura GUI log file, located at
%APPDATA%\cura\<Cura version>\cura.log
(Windows), or usuallyC:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Roaming\cura\<Cura version>\cura.log
$HOME/Library/Application Support/cura/<Cura version>/cura.log
(OSX)$HOME/.local/share/cura/<Cura version>/cura.log
(Ubuntu/Linux)
If the Cura user interface still starts, you can also reach this directory from the application menu in Help -> Show settings folder
For additional support, you could also ask in the #cura channel on libera.chat. For help with development, there is also the #cura-dev channel.
Dependencies
- Uranium Cura is built on top of the Uranium framework.
- CuraEngine This will be needed at runtime to perform the actual slicing.
- fdm_materials Required to load a printer that has swappable material profiles.
- PySerial Only required for USB printing support.
- python-zeroconf Only required to detect mDNS-enabled printers.
For a list of required Python packages, with their recommended version, see requirements.txt
.
This list is not exhaustive at the moment, please check the links in the next section for more details.
Build scripts
Please check out cura-build for detailed building instructions.
If you want to build the entire environment from scratch before building Cura as well, cura-build-environment might be a starting point before cura-build. (Again, see cura-build for more details.)
Running from Source
