When starting Cura 2.6 it takes a looooong time when Cura reaches the "Loading Machines" stage. Given I only use one machine, is there a way to reduce the number of machines that are loaded?

    You can remove all machines that you don't need from the resources file. Depending on your operating system this might be something that's easy or quite hard.

    You need to remove *.def.json files. Take care to never ever delete the fdmprinter.def.json.

    If you have a UM3, you need to keep the fdmprinter.def.json, ultimaker.def.json & ultimaker3.def.json

    I have found that sometimes I seem to get a UM3E #1, #2, #3, etc.

    I have not found a pattern that does this or figured out why, but I just keep deleting them when I notice them. But, I am doing that in the program up top in the black band in the top right of the interface.

    Indeed Cura 2.6 needs more time to load and to switch profiles than 2.5. We are still far from where we were with 2.4 but it doesn't go in a nice direction.

      • 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.
