Spread the love

Cura was developed by Ultimaker to make 3d printing as easy and streamlined as possible. Cura contains everything you need to be able to print a 3d file. It works with all Ultimaker printers, as well as those from RepRap and Printrbot. Cura is easy to install and contains the latest firmware as well as the calibration files for the 3d printer. Version 4.9.1 of Cura has been released and since version 4.8 the following changes and improvements have been made:

Ultimaker Cura 4.9.1

This is a patch release fixing some important bugs and adding new profiles.

PETG Profile update.

  • Ultimaker PETG profiles have been added. The Generic PETG profile for 2.85mm filaments has been updated as well.

Bug Fixes

  • The second extruder should now prime properly again when using a prime blob.
  • Reduced the flood of QML errors in the log file. Contributed by fieldOfView.
  • Fixed a crash when entering layer view on macOS 10.13.6. Contributed by jwrw.
  • Fixed a crash when there was an inaccessible X: drive in Windows. Cura should no longer try to access the X: drive now.

Ultimaker Cura 4.9.0

Highlights

  • Digital factory integration – Now you can open files directly from Digital Library projects. Then, after preparation, quickly and easily export them back. This feature is available for all users with an Ultimaker Essentials, Professional, or Excellence subscription. Learn more
  • “Line type” is now the default color scheme: When entering the Preview mode, you don’t have to switch manually to line type.
  • Z-seam is now clearly shown in preview mode: This ensures that you will know whether the seam will be sufficiently hidden in the end product. This will also indicate the starting point of the print.

Other Features

  • New ‘line width’ color-scheme available in preview mode: Line-width can now be selected as a color-scheme in preview mode.
  • Weight estimation in decimals: This provides a more detailed idea of ​​the amount of material used – which is especially useful for smaller prints.
  • Split Shell category into Walls and Top/Bottom: The shell category was a mix of settings about walls and settings about top/bottom, splitting them into two categories makes more sense.
  • Post-processing script to embed screenshot in gcode: The ability to have thumbnails embedded.
  • Add checkbox for Extruder Offsets: Ability to enable or disable the extruder offsets to gcode. This will be enabled by default unless it is in the printer’s def.json file.
  • Cura should work properly on MacOS ‘Big Sur’ now, afforded by upgrades to Python (to 3.8) and Qt (to 5.15). If you had (UX, visual, graphics card) problems, specifically on (newer) MacOS versions, like Big Sur, you should be able to use this new version.
