Hi everybody. 

 

I recently made a CURA slicing test on all my different machines I got: 

-Windows 10 PC which is my strongest machine

-Apple MacBook Pro 2020 with M1 chip

-IMac form 2017 with Windows in Dual-boot

 

My testing shows that CURA isn't optimized for the M1 chip yet (judging by the results).

 

Is this something for the future?

Judging by other speed tests I did the slicing speed on optimized M1 software should beat most other windows Pc's...

 

Cheers!

    Don't expect too much or not in the near future, because Cura depends on Qt.

    But yes, I also have a Macbook with M1 and I really like it, but haven't tried Cura yet on this machine. For my 3D printing tasks, I still use my iMac.

      • 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.

        Ultimaker Cura 5.6 stable released

        ArunC posted a topic in UltiMaker Cura,

        Cura now supports Method series printers!
         
        A year after the merger of Ultimaker and MakerBotQQ, we have unlocked the ability for users of our Method series printers to slice files using UltiMaker Cura. As of this release, users can find profiles for our Method and Method XL printers, as well as material profiles for ABS-R, ABS-CF, and RapidRinse. Meaning it’s now possible to use either Cura or the existing cloud-slicing software CloudPrint when printing with these printers or materials
