It most likely will be. We're working on a GUI code re-design so that extra settings do not mean extra complexity for all.

There is no button in Cura yet, or on the site. But you could wire coins to 17Bxd6LKu3Rw1tAQ75brKMLcKRUhXfzzcq if you want. It's my cat's bitcoin address.

BLAST FROM THE PAST. This topic is a year old.

Use the linux release ;-) RC7 for Debian/Ubuntu is very stable and will be made official soon. http://software.ultimaker.com/Cura_closed_beta/

Which settings are you using? For which machine?

No, for some reason it's seeing COM3 as an USB serial port, which I'm not sure if it should in your case. Cura reads the registry keys from "HARDWARE\\DEVICEMAP\\SERIALCOMM", and checks if there is an USBSER in there. It has done so for quite a while already, so I'm confused why it would show up COM3 all of a sudden if it did not before.

Yes.

Prove it. No really. I've seen replies like yours enough. "In theory it will be stronger". However, there are tons of things I've seen that should work in theory, but do not. (Simulations are theory. The UM2 hotend should have worked in dual-extrusion, in theory. Guess how that worked out in reality) Proof in the physical world. Sorry. I'm willing to argue that it's not as strong as you would expect, and that a printed triangle+hex infill with straight lines will be stronger: http://i.imgur.com/jQBKaPu.png (still looks like a David star, which is why I kept the square infill for now) Because the corners of a honeycomb infill have a weaker bond due to acceleration/cornering. While the crossing lines have very strong bonding in the corners due to the double amount of material on those spots. As for raft suggestions, someone is working on it: https://github.com/Ultimaker/CuraEngine/issues/61 Feel free to share your though there.

The bottom thickness is also used for bridges and steep overhang, so then it's more important then you would imagine. The engine already support 2 values. But I do not want to add a 2nd setting in the GUI.

Can you try pressing the right mouse button on the print button and list what it says as options? Gota have more info then that. I'm not psychic.

Fix horrible Type A does wonders for the yoda eyes ;-)

I just uploaded RC7, this fixes the manual baudrate selection (which didn't work, it always used auto-detect) It also fixes the slicing problems that had plagued earlier RCs. Next time, please capture the error for me. It can help. (But if whole Cura crashes, it might be video card driver related. I'm catching most errors before they are critical failures)

Power requirements might be a problem. Also, I think most of these cards transfer from the card to somewhere, not to the card from somewhere. So communication is the wrong way around.

Seriously, messing around with the steps per mm is wrong. We did careful calculations and measurements to ensure that the 80steps/mm is the correct value for the UM2.

That's a V2 hotend. The V1 is already out of production for 1.5 year.

Monday 24:30, so will be in RC7

The V2 also has a teflon part which is critical to prevent the blocks you are having. The wooden bits need to be changed for this.

3) Why? And prove it. 5) Manual support selection is on the wish list, but it's a complex one right now.

I've also patched up the code so this should no longer happen. However, APPDATA should normally be defined, so it's odd that it was no longer set.

Bug might be related to the "slicing failed/500 million offset" bug. Which I fixed monday night at 0:30 14.03 is not a slip, it's March already, while I planed to release it in February, I did not make it.

The UP! uses ABS, which bonds less easy to itself, making the snap ways support easier to do then with PLA (if you use the same structure with PLA it's much harder to remove) Support material for fluid printers is a whole different problem, they can do very thin pilars, while with FDM printing you should not try that, as they will break while printing. Pretty much every support material idea, I've heard it, I've noted it. And I'm saying what I always say "I'm busy, very busy. And I've not seen a single proposed algorithm, only general ideas. General ideas are cheap." There are 2 problems that you need to solve for support material: 1) Detect where support material is needed. 2) Support those areas Both problems are currently solved with the quickest solution I could come up with. Just looking at the angle of the polygons and building material straight down.

Should be only when required, except when combing is disabled. But, the retraction code has seen a lot of changes. So it can also depend on your Cura version. When you want to retract and when not is quite a difficult thing to get perfected.

I just found and fixed the problem, and the problem that arouse from fixing that problem. So now I have properly wavey lines that look good when printed. Will be in the 13.03 release. Which will be the least buggy release ever! (that doesn't sound as good as it is... maybe I need to do better marketing...)

Already done in the latest RC

The XY distance effects a lot more internally then you think. Causing the effect you see. But the general consensuses is that support material in Cura sucks right now. 14.02 changes how the engine and gui communicate, so firewalls or virus scanners could be related.
