Legacy Cura version 15.04.06

[gr5 2,094]

FYI it's harder to get a copy of cura 15.X these days so I'm hosting it here (sorry, I only have the windows version):

Cura 15.04.06 for windows

 

It doesn't have nearly as many features as the latest cura and doesn't support UM3 or newer printers and it supports dual color printers but not second-extruder-support.  But it works very well for 90% of printers out there and in some cases produces better prints (not sure why).  I usually use the latest Cura but occasionally still use this old version when printing on my um2go printers.

Oh thank god. Someone saved the installer for the only version that doesnt break Sailfish machines.

Windows Cura 15.04.06  is the only version that I can get to directly (USB) print to my Anet A8 printer. I mistakenly deleted it while installing a newer version. I have reinstalled 15.04.06 but now am having trouble with having the system recognize my progress plugin. I copied it in Cura_15.04.06/plugins directory but when I look at the Plugins tab to select it, it is not listed; only pauseAtZ.py and TweakAtZ.py. If I click the Open plugin location button at the bottom of the Plugins tab I see it listed with the other 2. I am kinda at a loss as to how to select and activate it. It has been a long time since I set this up originally so maybe there is something I am missing.

Thanks for any help.

Working fine ( just an issue with the version of OpenGL on this hardware but this is normal as it is an old computer)

Thanks for sharing, Ghostkeeper!.

BTW, Does anybody know which Debian/Ubuntu version should be used with the above 15.04.6?

I tried to install it under Mint 20 Ulyana and the installer tells it cannot fulfill the dependencies...

Also with Ubuntu Focal Fossa and Tahr. After years using it on Windows and having tried most of the current advanced slicers, 15.04.6 still gives me the best printing times, and I don't need all those bells and whistles for what I'm doing.

Thanks in advance.

Jes.

The 15.04.06 Debian archive specifies that it requires the following packages:

• python-wxgtk2.8 or python-wxgtk3.0
• python-opengl
• python-serial
• python-numpy

I don't know in how far those are still maintained for modern Ubuntu or Mint versions. You'll probably still be able to find them online somewhere but maybe not in apt. These are for Python 2, mind you, which has reached end-of-life.

Thanks a lot. I've been trying several different older distros and I've found out that Xubuntu 18.04 LTS installs okay the above mentioned .deb file and covers all dependencies.

Thanks for adding this, I got Cura up and on Xubuntu but it hangs at "Opening Serial port" on the Pronterface UI.  Was there anything else you needed to do?

Sorry to be so late.

I first installed printrun and Arduino 1.8.13 and then Cura and everything went fine.
