Printing times and material consumption are heavily reduced by printing a lower PVA infill in the support and increasing it towards the top. This also reduces PVA dissolving times. On the (extra) fine and normal quality setting, PVA infill layers are printed at double thickness, decreasing print time even more hps:ultmaker.comlenfblogiS1438-weleame-to-ullmaker-cura-307ulm_source=Uiimaker+Cura+Newslater&ulm_campaign=a6@5baGed7.Cura.. 6/141021/2017 Welcome fo Ulimaker Cura 3.0 | Utimaker: 3D Printers Infill becomes denser at interfaces, requiring less support material left print was sliced using Cure 2.6.

A fractal pattern infill that requires fewer retractions compared to other infill types. This is useful for flexible materials as it causes less material elongation when extruding. The internal structure provided by this gives flexible models greater resistance, while retaining ‘soft’ properties in all directions. Be Cross infil in Ukimaker Cura A printed example using TPU 954, Quarter cubic infill. Similar to tetrahedral (octet! infill, but half of the lines are shifted half of the period up. This pattern sacrifices some rigidity of octet infill for greater toughness. hps:ultmaker.comlen/blogiS1438-weleame-to-ullmaker-cura-307ulm_source=Uiimaker+Cura+NewslaterBulm_campaign=a6@5ba6ed7-Cura.. 8/141021/2017 Welcome fo Ulimaker Cura 3.0 | Utimaker: 3D Printers Skin removal width. Remove thin strips of skin from a model to prevent print head zig-zagging, in tum preventing vibrations. The lack of vibrations will also improve print quality on slight overhangs. Skin expand distance. Cutting away skins on steep overhangs makes prints less sturdy. By expanding skins with the thickness of walls, features will be better supported. In addition, features such as towers on top of infill will be stronger. hips:ultmaker.comienfologiS1438-weleame-to-ullmaker-cura-307ulm_source=Uiimaker+Cura+Newslater&ulm_campaign=a6@5baGed7.Cura.. 91141021/2017 Welcome fo Ulimaker Cura 3.0 | Utimaker: 3D Printers Extra skin wall count. This feature is now enabled by default. Printing extra skin directly on top of infill can lead to gaps, curling and pillowing, This is reduced by printing a wall around the skin first, and also improves the printing speed Minimum extrusion for skin, Will prevent Ultimaker Cura 3.0 filling small gaps that are probably filled already, resulting in less strings, better top details, and faster prints. PVA retractions. PVA retraction length during a print core switch is increased. In combination with the reduced retraction distance and slightly higher max count, this ensures reduced stringing and more reliable results. Minimum travel distance for retraction is decreased, and max count is slightly increased. This significantly reduces stringing, at the cost of slightly increased print time. Bug fixes With the help of our community, we have addressed a number of issues related to: * Custom material profiles are no longer sent to Ultimaker Cura when connecting toa printer * Syne zhop with layer changes * Memory leaks on MacOS * Printer name not loaded when project file is opened * Doodle3D Wifi box is selected by default on non-Ultimaker 3 machines hps:ltmaker.comienfblogi61438-weleame-to-ullmaker-cura-307ulm_source=Utimaker+Cura+NewslaterBulm_campaign=a6@5bva6ed7-Cur.. 10/141021/2017 Welcome fo Ulimaker Cura 3.0 | Utimaker: 3D Printers For a full breakdown of features and new developments, view Ultimaker Cura 3.0 on Github.
