In custom mode you can now assign different slice settings to different sections of your print by using meshes and per model settings. It enables Ultimaker Cura to have a reduced startup time compared to previous versions. Instead of loading all available printers on startup. It may be good to mention that printer definitions are now loaded when you add a printer. Do note, when you save your buildplate as a project, it only saves the selected buildplate. Using Cura Connect, you can send all build plates straight to your print queue to get it printed. It lets you manage separate build plates with a shared setting in a single session. You are able to use tree support in conjunction with other types of support material.īy enabling multi-build plate in your preferences a new UI element is added to your workspace. The benefits of this is that you use less support material, costs less time, and because there are fewer contact points it is easier to remove and gives better surface quality. It seems to grow organically and multiple ‘branches’ grow towards your model and offer the necessary support. Tree support is an experimental support structure which shares some resemblance with the shape and roots of a tree. A color map ranging from yellow (thickest) to blue (narrowest) represents the relative thickness of each layer. The 'Layer thickness' color scheme which can be found in 'Layer view' mode. Because the feature is pretty new, it is listed under 'Experimental' but feel free to give it a shot! This is a great way to maintain a quality good looking print and save time where it is possible. For example, thin layers are maximum 0.06mm and the thicker layers are maximum 0.15mm. It is up to you to configure within what range of layers Cura can operate. Adaptive layers offers an alternative where Ultimaker Cura will slice your model with thicker layers where there are straight walls and thinner layers on sloped surfaces. The days of a fixed layer size for your entire print are behind us. Without the feedback we continuously receive, we would not be able to develop Cura as we know it today. When this is the first time you read about Ultimaker Cura 3.2, or if you're just curious about what made it through the beta testing period, let me go over some of the most interesting features. Thanks to everyone who participated the last 2 weeks with beta testing Cura.
