Posted · Where is pronterface in Cura 3.1?????

I used to use Cura 2 for my printing, but I recently had to get a new laptop so I had to install the newest cura (3.1). After reading around, I found that there is no more pronterface in Cura 3.1????? I have a printrbot and need used to use the pronterface to adjust my gcode settings for the Z-offset height (M212). But now without the pronterface, I am not sure how I can adjust the Z-offset, so my prints have not been good. 

 

Please can you tell me if there is another way to adjust the Z-offset, I used to use the M212 command in the pronterface, and M500 to save the settings, but now without pronterface, I am wondering if there is still a way to do that. Also, are you guys going to be adding another interface so that I can interact with the printer over USB cable, and type in commands???

    Cura 2 did not have pronterface either. You probably used a much older version, like Cura 15.04 (where 15 is the year the version was released).

     

    The (USB) printer control area has been growing steadily in functionality over the past few releases. Cura 3.3 will likely have hotend preheating, and probably some form of custom commands and/or a gcode console.

      • 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.

      • Ultimaker Cura 5.6 stable released
        Cura now supports Method series printers!
         
        A year after the merger of Ultimaker and MakerBotQQ, we have unlocked the ability for users of our Method series printers to slice files using UltiMaker Cura. As of this release, users can find profiles for our Method and Method XL printers, as well as material profiles for ABS-R, ABS-CF, and RapidRinse. Meaning it’s now possible to use either Cura or the existing cloud-slicing software CloudPrint when printing with these printers or materials
