The open beta version of Cura 2.1 is now available for download, and Ultimaker looks forward to receiving community feedback to help make the software even better. You can find out more about Cura’s new features here.
Material waste is minimized with a retraction setting that allows you to compensate for oozed material after a travel move, plus a coasting feature that reduces oozing altogether by replacing the end of print paths with a short travel move. Several “experimental” features are also included, like a conical support option, a draft shield setting that prints a 1-layer wall around the part to prevent air from hitting it and causing warping, and a cool-sounding “fuzzy skin” option that prints outer walls with a jittering motion for a “diffused” finish.Īdditional changes to the Cura Engine include new settings for shells, infills, print speed, cooling and supports. A “combing” feature enables the print head to move around already-printed parts to avoid collisions.
The Cura Engine now includes fixes for common problems, such as an alternate skin rotation that combats top-layer pillowing and an alternate extra wall for better infill adhesion.
Cura 2.1 is now available in open beta, and it’s full of new and improved features for beginners and experienced users alike. It hasn’t yet been quite a year since Ultimaker announced that they had completely reworked their popular Cura software. In the spirit of constant improvement and advancement, however, the company has now declared that they’ve redone the 3D software again, and it’s better than ever.
