HELP ME OUT: need your opinion on two new technologies

· HELP ME OUT: need your opinion on two new technologies
There have been a couple of people that have come in here with questions about setting up Cura for a paste extruding machine. If you do a search of the forum, those posts should come up. Maybe a PM would be in order to ask them a question directly. Personally I don't know anything about it.
In regards to pellet extrusion, those are generally larger machines that put out a lot of material. As a retired old fart and hobbyist I have no need to FDM print a house or boat.
Here is an example of one poster's pellet extruder in this thread. It's a self-built printer, it takes up a lot of space, and he anticipated "output around 2kg/h". Even in Detroit schools that comes out to at least $40/hr just for material.

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
