How to use Cura for Makerbot Replicator 2x (firmware 7.6)

· How to use Cura for Makerbot Replicator 2x (firmware 7.6)
i have not yet set up Cura yet, as I just downloaded it today, But You should be able to use the Gcode files generated by using the Octoprint application. Octoprint will require some setup work and requires that you configure a raspberry pie to help control your printer through the USB printer cable. I have been using Octoprint for about 4 months now and it is amazing and is constantly updated with new features. it has turned my makerbot 2x into an amazing high Quality machine. I am currently generating Gcode using the makerbot desktop slicer (save as), ahd have had no problems with dozens of prints.
I will update this post once I get set up with Cura and let you know what I find.
checkout this link for more information and watch the short video.
Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.
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.
