It's not very user friendly, but I'm one of this guy who don't understand why Ultimaker doesn't want to add the possibility to disable the autoslice.

It could be easier to let the choice to the user.

    It's going to change at some point, because we have to once we switch to multi-core slicing.

    It only slows down when starting the auto slice on Mac, so switching to another OS also fixes the UI stutter ;)

    Well. You can! If you install Linux on your system you support open source and save the rain forests! That's double good Samaritan points for one single action!

    I have no problem with "autoslice". It's the "pre-slice" aka "preparing to slice" that kills the user interface for me (for 30 seconds with some models).

    I keep my house cool so all extra CPU energy ends up keeping my tiny office warm and allows me to heat the rest of the house less. So at least half the year it doesn't waste any energy for me.

    So is more efficient to use Cura heating the computer. Cool nice tip for winter!

      • 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.
