Posted · Thoughts on the Cura User manual

Hello! my name is Menno, I am Interaction designer at Ultimaker.

 

For the last weeks I've been working on the Cura User Manual, with the goal to give the already user friendly cura even more insight. https://www.ultimaker.com/pages/our-software hit the [view the manual] to check the latest version out.

As we keep developing our software we also like to know what you're missing or what you need further explained in software and the manual. I'm curious what your obstructions, ideas and thoughts are about how cura is helping you to make a 3D print?

    Hi Menno

    I haven't yet read the manual thoroughly, so i have nothing to suggest. Just wanted to say, that you do a very important job.

    At my university I regularly give seminars about 3D-printing and I have to explain how Cura works, which isn't easy for me as i use it on daily basis and often can't understand what problems the newbies have when they use it for the first time.

    To have a real manual for this powerful software that explains its installation and use step by step should really save me time and make the beginners more confident.

    Thanks.

        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.
