[3D Printing News] Latest Ultimaker Cura 4.1 Official Version Released, Free Download!
From now on, all 3D printing experts can officially use the latest version of Ultimaker Cura 4.1. The official team has improved this powerful 3D slicing software into a simple and intuitive interface, making it easy to use cloud connectivity and Ultimaker material profiles, along with more specialized 3D printing filaments. Whether your system is Windows, Mac, or Linux, you can download it for free. Thanks to the user suggestions for the Cura 4.1 trial version, the official version makes pre-3D printing work smoother. Let's introduce the following features:
Movable Panels
Onboarding Wizard
The new Ultimaker Cura will provide a new onboarding process. Not only does it align better with the overall interface, but these step-by-step instructions help you understand how to add a 3D printer, adjust basic settings, and understand Ultimaker Cloud features, among others.
(The onboarding tutorial in the latest Ultimaker Cura 4.1 allows users to quickly understand various basic functions.)
Material Guide
To help users view material information and maximize 3D printing quality, a small book icon will appear next to the selected material, guiding you to detailed online information. This is convenient for professional engineers to understand material properties, or you can refer to our 3D Printing Filament Comparison Guide in our tutorials.
Enhanced Prime Tower Functionality
When printing with dual extruders, the prime tower effectively prevents the two materials from mixing, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing finished product. In the new Cura 4.1, you can use a "Brim" on the prime tower—even if your object doesn't use the "Adhesion" feature, adding adhesion will make the prime tower more stable throughout the printing process.
(Even if the main 3D printed object does not have an adhesion brim enabled, you can still add a "Brim" to the prime tower.)
Gyroid Supports
Previously, the gyroid support developed by Smartavionics was designed to facilitate the infiltration of water-soluble PVA. Due to its interconnected and porous pattern, it helps accelerate melting. In the improved version of Cura 4.1, if you use Ultimaker Breakaway or other non-water-soluble support materials, they will be easier to grasp when removing.
(Gyroid supports are designed for water-soluble PVA materials, but in the new version, they are easier to grasp even with non-water-soluble materials.)
Cloud Development
In the list of adding printers, you can find Ultimaker 3D printers paired with individual accounts, and even use other network connections. The remote monitor for Ultimaker Cura is also more stable, making it a global Ultimaker 3D printer that can be controlled wherever you are. When you log in to your account, the Ultimaker Cloud control list will automatically appear, making it convenient to manage various cloud tools.
In the Ultimaker "Marketplace" option, it links with suppliers and profile files from the Ultimaker material program, making it easier to purchase and use the specialized materials you need. When there are updates to plugins or print profiles in the "Marketplace," the "Marketplace" button and installed plugin options will display notification icons, keeping you informed of the latest versions and features.
(Ultimaker Marketplace now has notification icons to keep you updated on the latest features.)
