Posted · Allow Cura Upgrade??

Hi, guys.  I've got an older Anet A8 (maybe 3-4 years old) that came with Cura 14.07.  Every time I load Cura I get the message that an upgrade is available and asks if I want to install.  When I first started working with 3d printing I read somewhere on line that the Anet does not play well with higher versions of Cura, so I have declined the offered upgrade.

 

Now, reading a lot of content on this and other sites, it looks like newer versions of Cura come with some different/enhanced features over the Version 14.07 that I've been using.  In fact, a lot of the problem "fixes" refer to settings that are not available in my Version 14.07.  So, I'm wondering if I should allow the upgrade to occur.

 

Anybody know if the offered upgrade will play well with my Anet A8?  Will there be advantages to upgrading?

 

Appreciate any input.

    Hi minuteman,

     

    afaik you can keep your version 14.07 and install the acutal version besides it, so you could test the new version and if it works, just uninstall (or keep) the old version; if it doesn't: just use 14.07.

     

    Regards

      • Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        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.
