Pioneer Brian Wetzel just shared an article today about this week's major Tinkercad Beta launch -- Tinkercad Beta: Great Strides But Still Some Tinkering To Do.

This piece has some praise for the new launch, emphasizing how essential this tool has become for educators in the 3D space, as well as some tough constructive criticism for the collaboration model.

From his wrap up:

 

Overall, I think this is great progress for Tinkercad. Autodesk has managed to make a sleeker and more user-friendly design. It seems to load and run faster, and makes common tasks easier to complete. Real-time collaboration obviously gets a major thumbs up. However, it is still in beta form, and many of these great additions still need major tweaks; users should expect some hiccups while experimenting with the beta version. I am excited to see how Tinkercad is changing and can’t wait to see how we will be able to tinker with our models in the future.

 

 

  • What are your experiences with the beta?
  • How many educators here are considering making the leap to using this beta in their classrooms this season, vs waiting?

      • Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        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.
