Do not "wrap around" in menus - it would make controlling a lot easier

Posted · Do not "wrap around" in menus - it would make controlling a lot easier

When you navigate the menus with the wheel, it is quite inefficient, that the you "wrap around" when getting to the top or bottom of menu. E.g. the "return" item is always at the bottom, so when you want to get back you have to "hit" it exactly to go up. It would be much easier if you could just dial to the bottom without having to "hit" the return exactly. Also in the main menu. There are three items. Now you can "miss" the top or bottom items by scrolling too far. If the cursor did not wrap around it would be much easier to hit the top or bottom item and to hid the middle item a single step would always work. So please. Let the cursor stop at the top or bottom of the lists in the menu

    I'm actually quite happy that it wraps as you can then quickly exit a bunch of nested menus by directly going to the bottom... this counts even if there are 3 times since then I don't have to think about it too much, but if the button is giving you trouble then I suggest replacing the knob https://www.youmagine.com/designs/lofted-um2-knob, https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2172449 or https://makerware.thingiverse.com/thing:832197

     

    I suppose we could make it a setting but in a lot of cases where buttons are shown itself a flag is already being set to allow wrapping the screen or not since after reading a bunch of text you don't want to skip back to the beginning of the text...

    I think the button works fine, but then you could have back places at the top of the menu lists instead of at the bottom, which would make much more sense and then no wrap around

    Also when selecting items in lower horizontal menus, wrap around is totally not useful only making it harder to use

    yes, confirm / ignore or <return / confirm buttons

    I don't think those should be wrap around, I'll check.

      • UltiMaker Cura 5.3 stable released
        In this stable release, Cura 5.3 achieves yet another huge leap forward in 3D printing thanks to material interlocking! As well as introducing an expanded recommended print settings menu and lots of print quality improvements. Not to mention, a whole bunch of new printer profiles for non-UltiMaker printers!

      • Here it is. The new UltiMaker S7
        The UltiMaker S7 is built on the success of the UltiMaker S5 and its design decisions were heavily based on feedback from customers.
         
         
        So what’s new?
        The obvious change is the S7’s height. It now includes an integrated Air Manager. This filters the exhaust air of every print and also improves build temperature stability. To further enclose the build chamber the S7 only has one magnetically latched door.
         
        The build stack has also been completely redesigned. A PEI-coated flexible steel build plate makes a big difference to productivity. Not only do you not need tools to pop a printed part off. But we also don’t recommend using or adhesion structures for UltiMaker materials (except PC, because...it’s PC). Along with that, 4 pins and 25 magnets make it easy to replace the flex plate perfectly – even with one hand.
         
        The re-engineered print head has an inductive sensor which reduces noise when probing the build plate. This effectively makes it much harder to not achieve a perfect first layer, improving overall print success. We also reversed the front fan direction (fewer plastic hairs, less maintenance), made the print core door magnets stronger, and add a sensor that helps avoid flooding.
         

         
        The UltiMaker S7 also includes quality of life improvements:
        Reliable bed tilt compensation (no more thumbscrews) 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi A 1080p camera (mounted higher for a better view) Compatibility with 280+ Marketplace materials Compatibility with S5 project files (no reslicing needed) And a whole lot more  
        Curious to see the S7 in action?
        We’re hosting a free tech demo on February 7.
        It will be live and you can ask any questions to our CTO, Miguel Calvo.

      • UltiMaker Cura Alpha 🎄 Tree Support Spotlight 🎄
        Are you a fan of tree support, but dislike the removal process and the amount of filament it uses? Then we would like to invite you to try this special release of UltiMaker Cura. Brought to you by our special community contributor @thomasrahm
         
        We generated a special version of Cura 5.2 called 5.3.0 Alpha + Xmas. The only changes we introduced compared to UltiMaker Cura 5.2.1 are those which are needed for the new supports. So keep in mind, this is not a sneak peek for Cura 5.3 (there are some really cool new features coming up) but a spotlight release highlighting this new version of tree supports.
