Now that the purchase/merger of Ultimaker and Makerbot has concluded, are there any plans to reconfigure the MakerBot firmware to allow for slicing in Cura (Marlin)? It would make sense for Cura to have MakerBot preconfigured profiles for the printers they, as a collective company, produce. Is there a hardware limitation pertaining to the mainboards (updating preexisting MakerBots)?
The requirement to use the proprietary slicer has been the main reason (among others) why I have not purchased the MakerBot Method X Carbon Fiber and the fact that the Ultimaker S5 only supports 2.85mm filament has made me hold on the purchase of that printer. I look forward to seeing how the two companies unify to present the next generation of printers. I personally am quite excited.
