Software-update: Cura 5.5.0 bèta 1
Cura is ontwikkeld door UltiMaker om 3d-printen zo gemakkelijk en gestroomlijnd mogelijk te maken. Cura bevat alles wat je nodig hebt om een 3d-bestand te kunnen printen. Het werkt met alle UltiMaker-printers, maar ook met die van RepRap en Printrbot. Cura laat zich gemakkelijk installeren en bevat zowel de laatste firmware als de kalibratiebestanden voor de 3d-printer. De eerste bètarelease van Cura versie 5.5.0 is uitgekomen en hierin zijn de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen aangebracht:
Engine PluginsIntroduced infrastructure for Engine Plugins; Plugin developers can now hook into and change the actual slice process using a programming language in which they feel comfortable: C++, Python, C#/.NET, Dart, Go, Java, Kotlin, Node, Objective-C, PHP, RubyIn this initial version, plugins can hook into the following engine slots:
Modify generated gcode, postprocessing it per layerGenerate Infill patternsModify extrusion pathsListen to a broadcast of all Settings
Modify generated gcode, postprocessing it per layerGenerate Infill patternsModify extrusion pathsListen to a broadcast of all SettingsCura plugins can now easily add new Settings and extend existing dropdown Settings. Users are now warned if a previously saved project file depends on a plugin and that plugin isn't installed in the Cura instance that tries to load it.
To showcase this new infrastructure we introduced a Gradual Flow Engine plugin; This plugin prevents sudden drastic changes in flow transitions. You can find it under your bundled plugins and the new gradual flow settings can be found in the material category when all settings are visible. Do you want to participate in the discussion about the potential and possibilities? You can join the discussion on GitHub here.
Introduced the following new settingsGradual Flow Enabled, Gradual Flow Max Acceleration, Initial Layer Max Flow Acceleration, Gradual Flow discretization step size, are to finetune the Gradual Flow plug-in.
Updates in the available supported OSsesIntroduced Max OSX builds for ARM64 (M1 support), next to our existing X64 builds.Introduced a single Linux build removing the need to have a different modern and regular Linux build.
