A stack option for stacking objects so you can print in 2+ colors with single nozzle

how it works: 1 you make 2+ parts of your design in each a color

2 stack them

3 select print one at time option

4 set pauses in gcode at the different colors

5 chance the color on the right layer

anti crash mode

if you are printing cura with usb on a slow pc/mac cura will crash often.

    Stacking objects is already possible in 2.1. We have improved the behavior for the upcoming release (Able to translate objects after they are merged)

    Due to it's unstable nature we advise against using the USB printing. There are just too many factors that we have no control over that can break this.

    What exactly do you mean by custom infill patterns? We (read; BagelOrb, the main slice / engine guy did this in his spare time) have added a few new infill patterns for the next release (including a 3D infill pattern and a variable infill pattern)

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
