· Using monitor / webcam from Cura maxes out my CPU
The problem is not Cura, because you get the same high CPU load when watching the cam stream directly in your browser. So I guess the high CPU load is caused by decoding the video stream and the technology used by the browser is not efficient enough.
I got good results with much lower CPU consumption when using VLC to watch the video stream.
In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
We are happy to announce the next evolution in the UltiMaker 3D printer lineup: the UltiMaker Factor 4 industrial-grade 3D printer, designed to take manufacturing to new levels of efficiency and reliability. Factor 4 is an end-to-end 3D printing solution for light industrial applications
