![]() ![]() We’re hosting a free tech demo on February 7. Reliable bed tilt compensation (no more thumbscrews) 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi A 1080p camera (mounted higher for a better view) Compatibility with 280+ Marketplace materials Compatibility with S5 project files (no reslicing needed) And a whole lot more The UltiMaker S7 also includes quality of life improvements: We also reversed the front fan direction (fewer plastic hairs, less maintenance), made the print core door magnets stronger, and add a sensor that helps avoid flooding. ![]() ![]() This effectively makes it much harder to not achieve a perfect first layer, improving overall print success. The re-engineered print head has an inductive sensor which reduces noise when probing the build plate. Along with that, 4 pins and 25 magnets make it easy to replace the flex plate perfectly – even with one hand. But we also don’t recommend using or adhesion structures for UltiMaker materials (except PC, ’s PC). Not only do you not need tools to pop a printed part off. A PEI-coated flexible steel build plate makes a big difference to productivity. The build stack has also been completely redesigned. To further enclose the build chamber the S7 only has one magnetically latched door. This filters the exhaust air of every print and also improves build temperature stability. It now includes an integrated Air Manager. The UltiMaker S7 is built on the success of the UltiMaker S5 and its design decisions were heavily based on feedback from customers. ![]() The G4 allows the print to restart without any input from me. For large roofs I'll sometimes put in a Pause at Height and then replace the pause command with a G4 S180 to give a 3 minute break and allow the interface to cool further. Printing the Support Interface slow can help as well because a cooler interface doesn't stick as well when the roof gets put on. The supports are weaker and easier to remove. I've settled on running Support and Support Interface at 90% flow and with the air gap to the support floor at 2X layer height. The Support Interface Density will come into play.there are a lot of settings. Your "Minimum Support Area", "Minimum Support Interface Area" and maybe "Support Horizontal Expansion" can be used to move the support so it catches the overhang. The XY distance comes into play as well as the "XY Overrides Z" or "Z overrides XY" setting. There are a lot of support settings (73 I think) and tweaking them to get a good support structure is often necessary (and tedious). They can't get everywhere and sometimes it's still necessary to allow the supports to grow on the model. So be sure to save them before upgrading.Ī HUGE thank you to anyone who contributes to this alpha test and don’t forget to give Thomas some love for the incredible work he has done to improve UltiMaker Cura. For example, keep in mind that we cannot guarantee that profiles get migrated over to UltiMaker Cura 5.3 stable correctly. There is a higher chance that you may run into one or more bugs (some known, some unknown). Please remember that this UltiMaker Cura alpha is not suitable for ‘normal’ use. Tree Support Diameter Increase to Modelĭue to the holiday season, responses from UltiMaker might be slower than usual. The following settings have been introduced: Notes to keep in mind when you start testing We’ve enabled tree supports by default for testing purposes. Run some tests with prints that you are familiar with. Download UltiMaker Cura 5.3.0-Alpha-XmasĢ. You can try out these new tree supports today.ġ. With less filament extruded, you’ll also see a significant decrease in printing time. Where our current tree supports have a tendency to merge multiple branches into one larger branch to limit the amount of retraction, these trees have a different shape and have smaller branches that are able to reach tricky corners. These new tree supports use significantly less filament than our current version of tree supports. So keep in mind, this is not a sneak peek for Cura 5.3 (there are some really cool new features coming up) but a spotlight release highlighting this new version of tree supports. The only changes we introduced compared to UltiMaker Cura 5.2.1 are those which are needed for the new supports. Brought to you by our special community contributor generated a special version of Cura 5.2 called 5.3.0 Alpha + Xmas. Are you a fan of tree support, but dislike the removal process and the amount of filament it uses? Then we would like to invite you to try this special release of UltiMaker Cura. ![]()
