UltiMaker Cura 5.3 stable released
ArunC posted a topic in UltiMaker Cura,
In this stable release, Cura 5.3 achieves yet another huge leap forward in 3D printing thanks to material interlocking! As well as introducing an expanded recommended print settings menu and lots of print quality improvements. Not to mention, a whole bunch of new printer profiles for non-UltiMaker printers!-

Here it is. The new UltiMaker S7
MariMakes posted a topic in Official news,
The UltiMaker S7 is built on the success of the UltiMaker S5 and its design decisions were heavily based on feedback from customers.
So what’s new?
The obvious change is the S7’s height. It now includes an integrated Air Manager. This filters the exhaust air of every print and also improves build temperature stability. To further enclose the build chamber the S7 only has one magnetically latched door.
The build stack has also been completely redesigned. A PEI-coated flexible steel build plate makes a big difference to productivity. Not only do you not need tools to pop a printed part off. But we also don’t recommend using or adhesion structures for UltiMaker materials (except PC, because...it’s PC). Along with that, 4 pins and 25 magnets make it easy to replace the flex plate perfectly – even with one hand.
The re-engineered print head has an inductive sensor which reduces noise when probing the build plate. This effectively makes it much harder to not achieve a perfect first layer, improving overall print success. We also reversed the front fan direction (fewer plastic hairs, less maintenance), made the print core door magnets stronger, and add a sensor that helps avoid flooding.
The UltiMaker S7 also includes quality of life improvements:
Reliable bed tilt compensation (no more thumbscrews) 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi A 1080p camera (mounted higher for a better view) Compatibility with 280+ Marketplace materials Compatibility with S5 project files (no reslicing needed) And a whole lot more
Curious to see the S7 in action?
We’re hosting a free tech demo on February 7.
It will be live and you can ask any questions to our CTO, Miguel Calvo.

Cura Alpha With New Tree Support 🎄
MariMakes posted a topic in UltiMaker Cura,
Are you a fan of tree support, but dislike the removal process and the amount of filament it uses? Then we would like to invite you to try this special release of UltiMaker Cura. Brought to you by our special community contributor @thomasrahm
We generated a special version of Cura 5.2 called 5.3.0 Alpha + Xmas. The only changes we introduced compared to UltiMaker Cura 5.2.1 are those which are needed for the new supports. So keep in mind, this is not a sneak peek for Cura 5.3 (there are some really cool new features coming up) but a spotlight release highlighting this new version of tree supports.-

Das dürfte nicht ganz billig werden.
1.) für eine richtige Absicherung brauchst Du eine Online-USV
2.) und dann eine richtig fette Akku Kapazität, um min. 10 Min. zu überbrücken.
Eine Online-USV arbeitet immer über den Wandler, somit entfällt die Umschaltung einer Standby-USV. Wenn der Drucker gerade das Heizbett unter Dampf hat, wenn das Netz ausfällt, wird die Kapazität vom Netzteil nicht reichen, um die Umschaltung zu überbrücken. Zumal die Netzteile sowieso meist recht knapp ausgelegt sind.
Bei bis zu 10 Min. fällt auch einiges an Heizleistung für das Heizbett an, das ist mit Abstand der größte Verbraucher im Drucker. Kannst ja mal mit einem Energieverbrauchs Messgerät den Bedarf vom Drucker über 10- 15 Min ermitteln, dann kannste errechnen, was die USV für eine Kapazität min. haben muß, um einen Ausfallsicheren Betrieb zu gewähren.

Ist jetzt nicht so viel. Der Verbrauch bei einem UM2 liegt im Schnitt bei 80-100 Watt für ABS Einstellungen. Was bei mir 70°C Bett auf Dauer sind. Spitze war, glaub ich, knapp was um 190W. Hab das mal getestet als ich noch Drucke hatte die bis zu fünf Tage dauerten.
