Ok, thanks. This sounds even better. Would you like to share/explain which changes you made to Cura and OctoPrint?
First at all:
I'm not a python-coder, so some things may be not as "clean" as the could be 
The changes are tested and work in my configuration / on my systems.
It's only tested on Ubuntu-Linux.
No gurantee that they will work also in other configurations.
In Octoprint are no changes needed, you have just to enable the API and CORS in "System -> API".
The API-Key is needed later on.
The changes in cura are in the "sceneview.py" (download here ) - on Linux to find in /usr/share/cura/Cura/gui/
All changes I made where commented ###.
In this file you have to adjust the following to meet your environment:
around line #143: url
around line #154: X-Api-Key
With this changes you have an additional button near the "YM" button that sends the actual file directly to Octoprint.
Have fun
Bernd
Edited by GuestThanks Bernd.
And don't worry, I am no Python coder either. But I am on a Mac. Let's see if this works.

Here it is. The new UltiMaker S7
MariMakes posted a topic in Official news,
The UltiMaker S7 is built on the success of the UltiMaker S5 and its design decisions were heavily based on feedback from customers.
So what’s new?
The obvious change is the S7’s height. It now includes an integrated Air Manager. This filters the exhaust air of every print and also improves build temperature stability. To further enclose the build chamber the S7 only has one magnetically latched door.
The build stack has also been completely redesigned. A PEI-coated flexible steel build plate makes a big difference to productivity. Not only do you not need tools to pop a printed part off. But we also don’t recommend using or adhesion structures for UltiMaker materials (except PC, because...it’s PC). Along with that, 4 pins and 25 magnets make it easy to replace the flex plate perfectly – even with one hand.
The re-engineered print head has an inductive sensor which reduces noise when probing the build plate. This effectively makes it much harder to not achieve a perfect first layer, improving overall print success. 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.
The UltiMaker S7 also includes quality of life improvements:
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
Curious to see the S7 in action?
We’re hosting a free tech demo on February 7.
It will be live and you can ask any questions to our CTO, Miguel Calvo.

Cura 5.3 Alpha With New Tree Support 🎄
MariMakes posted a topic in Ultimaker Cura,
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. Brought to you by our special community contributor @thomasrahm
We generated a special version of Cura 5.2 called 5.3.0 Alpha + Xmas. The only changes we introduced compared to UltiMaker Cura 5.2.1 are those which are needed for the new 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.-

Hi Nico,
I tried it some month ago. As resume I would say:
- the slicing is not as slow as I thought (but even not very fast
)
- the Raspi is not really that power machine for such tasks ...
- you must believe on the slicing profile and have no real control over that whats going on (o.k. you can review the sliced file in gcode viewer ...)
- for me a good workflow looks other
After that I decided to stay on my old workflow slicing with cura on desktop and send the files to octoprint - for that I tweaked the 15.04 cura in a way that I have a "Send to Octoprint" Button near the "Save toolpath". So I mustn't save the file locally and upload it to octoprint, it is send directly (using octoprints API). And as a bonus you can configure Octopint in an way that it starts printing new uploaded files immediatly (if no other print job is ongoing).
For me (so far) the easiset and fastest way ...
Regards Bernd
