Print with the new UltiMaker S6 in Cura from day 1. The UltiMaker S6 is the newest addition to the S series of UltiMaker printers that carries forward the award-winning legacy of the S5, now supercharged with innovations like the UltiMaker Cheetah for up to 4x productivity. Learn more about this printer here.

• Introduced Visual Intent profiles for PLA and Tough PLA for the UltiMaker S8
• Introduced High-Speed Intents for ABSR for Method X and Method XL

• Updated UltiMaker S8 profiles to significantly improve the quality of PC, CPE, CPE+, PETG, support structures, and dual extrusion prints
• Support brims no longer listen to the Brim Distance setting, so the brims will always be attached to the support
• Fixed a bug affecting multi-extruder printers where the initial temperature was not set correctly at the start of a print if all features used an extruder other than T0

The UltiMaker S8 was just announced and is now supported in Cura. The S8 is the newest professional desktop printer in the S series, and it achieves up to 4x the speed of its predecessor while also improving print quality. That is possible thanks to the new UltiMaker Cheetah motion planner and new high flow cores, all of which will be usable at launch with Cura! The introduction of this printer comes with a new Marlin-like Gcode flavor called Cheetah. Learn more about this printer here

Support for the 3D SpaceMouse by 3Dconnexion. Commonly used in CAD and 3D design software, a 3D mouse makes working with 3D models more precise and efficient. The SpaceMouse, along with the CadMouse, are a perfect fit for Cura and should help make your 3D printing workflows more efficient, especially when switching between Cura and CAD or design software. A big thanks to 3Dconnexions for helping to make this integration possible! Learn more about the integration here

Cura 5.10 supports macOS 12 Monterey or higher. This is because the tools that we use to create Cura builds no longer support previous versions of macOS.

The UltiMaker S8 was just announced and is now supported in Cura. The S8 is the newest professional desktop printer in the S series, and it achieves up to 4x the speed of its predecessor while also improving print quality.

Cura 5.10 supports macOS 12 Monterey or higher. This is because the tools that we use to create Cura builds no longer support previous versions of macOS.

The About Page now shows some of the used sources, their licenses, and their versions in a clearer way. This will be even more complete in Cura 5.10.

During the last months, we have been pretty busy upgrading 2 core components of Cura:

• Python has been bumped from 3.10 to 3.12. Athough this is not major, Python is the engine that runs the Cura front-end and even the slightest change in its behavior can have an impact.
• We are now using Conan 2 instead of Conan 1. This tool is the basis of our build system, as it orchestrates the way each component of Cura is built and packaged. Cura uses multiple Python and C++ packages altogether, so assembling them all to a standalone application on 3 platforms is a sensitive task.

• Python keeps evolving, and we want to take advantages of its upgrades and last features. This also allows new developers to use the most recent version.
• Python 3.12 also comes with native speed improvements, so it is always good to take 🙂
• Conan 1 is on a deprecation path, so we really needed to switch to version 2, which is considered the more mature and robust version. Recent packages are now using Conan 2, so if we want to keep up-to-date, we need to use it.

• We have tested many builds of Cura, on many systems, but we know everyone has a different execution environment. The idea of this Alpha release is to make sure that it still works on all the platforms where it used to work before.
• We don't exactly know how everyone uses Cura. There may be some actions that you do, which will reveal a bug we didn't see in our tests.
• There are tons of plugins, all based on Python code. So we want to make sure that they keep working with the new version.

Well, not much, just download this version, use it as you would usually do, and send a brief feedback on the discussion: describe your environment, and tell us if everything went fine, or if you encountered some crashes or strange behaviors !

⚠️ Remember that this is an Alpha version, which means that only the basic functionalities have been tested. Some features are missing, incomplete or still in development, and may not be usable for production.

Scarf seam settings

New settings have been added in experimental that let you turn your Z seam into a scarf seam.

• Scarf Seam Length Determines the length of the scarf seam, a seam type that should make the Z seam less visible.
• Scarf Seam Start Height The ratio of the selected layer height after which the scarf seam will begin.
• Scarf Seam Split Distance Determines the length of each step in the flow change when extruding along the scarf seam. A smaller distance will result in a more precise but also more complex G-code.
• Outer Wall Start Speed Ratio This is the ratio of the top speed to start with when printing an outer wall.
• Outer Wall (start) Acceleration This is the acceleration with which to reach the top speed when printing an outer wall
• Outer Wall End Speed Ratio This is the ratio of the top speed to end with when printing an outer wall.
• Outer Wall (end) Deceleration This is the deceleration with which to end printing an outer wall.
• Outer Wall Speed Split Distance This is the maximum length of an extrusion path when splitting a longer path to apply the outer wall acceleration/deceleration. A smaller distance will create a more precise but also more verbose G-Code

Try it for yourself using the showcase model for this release!

Updated the Start and End G-code
It is now possible to include conditional statements such as If/Else statements when editing the start and end G-code in your machine settings. This allows you to set up much more complex printer automation that responds to things such as the status of your printer or user input. Learn more about the possibilities on our wiki.

Added the "Extra Infill Lines to Support Skins
And other improvements to help make printing over sparse infill more reliable, contributed by @Hello1024

• The UI now displays correctly on Wayland, with this fix we noticed some performance drop compared to X11

The new lightning-fast MakerBot Sketch Sprint has been released and is now supported inside of Cura.
Learn more about our fastest classroom printer; MakerBot Sketch Sprint

Note: We are very happy with the performance of the Sketch Sprint profiles. However, the Sprint prints so fast that some users have experienced issues with overhangs that do not print as cleanly as they would like. If you find this yourself, you can increase the 'Minimum Layer Time' setting to give the overhangs more time to cool. If the issue persists then use supports to support any overhangs that are giving you trouble. We are always making improvements to our printer profiles and we expect that overhangs will only get better over time!

• Introduced Makerbot Sketch and Sketch Large
