Every print starts with a single line and a circle

· Every print starts with a single line and a circle
Hello,
the first line it prints is to make sure that your nozzle is primed and there is sufficient material to start your first layer. The line around your object is called the 'skirt'. You should be able to disable this if you wish. This has a similar purpose, to make sure that your nozzle is primed and it ensures that if any material of the initial line doesn't stick to the bed and is dragged along by the nozzle it doesn't end up in your print.
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
