· wall thickness CURA parameter and actual one
ok, so if your wall in your model is 1mm thick for example and you set the number if walls to 1 in Cura and your line width in Cura is 0.4, Cura will use one wall and then use infill to build the rest of the wall. If you set 2 walls in Cura, it will use 2 x 0.4 which is 0.8, then use infil to make the wall to 1mm. Cura will not modify the stl, it will just print it using the parameters you define.
What Cura means by wall is a line which is on the outside of the print, the actual wall of your model can be made up of what Cura calls a wall and what Cura calls infill. This depends on how thick you design you wall in your model.
it is always best to design a model which is a multiple of your line width, for example if you have a line width in Cura of 0.4 a wall of 04, 0.8, 1.2, 1.6 etc will make it easier for Cura to use exact numbers of walls to make up your desired wall thickness. If you set wall in your model of 1 for example, Cura will slice it but it handles walls with a thickness of a multiple of line width much easier
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.
