Ultimaker Cura 4.3 is here, bringing a suite of innovative features designed to improve the precision and reliability of your Cura 3d Print projects. This latest version focuses on giving users more control over crucial printing aspects, ensuring higher quality outputs and a smoother workflow. From refined support structures to enhanced small feature printing, Cura 4.3 empowers you to achieve superior results with every print.
Precision and Control: New Features in Cura 4.3
This update introduces several key enhancements that directly impact print quality and user experience within the cura 3d print environment.
Advanced Support Infill Angle Control
Gain greater control over support structures with the new infill/interface line directions feature. Now you can specify the precise angle at which support infill and interfaces are printed. This enhancement, contributed by vgribinchuck, allows for sequential angle adjustments throughout your print, leading to more robust and reliable support structures, particularly beneficial for complex geometries in cura 3d print projects.
Randomized Infill Start for Enhanced Strength
Minimize weak points in your 3D models with the ‘Randomize infill start’ feature. By randomizing the starting point of each infill line, Cura 4.3 reduces the likelihood of stress concentrations and layer line weaknesses. While introducing a slight increase in travel moves, this feature significantly improves the overall structural integrity of your cura 3d print, ensuring more durable and resilient parts.
Optimized Printing for Small Features
Smartavionics has contributed a valuable setting to enhance the printing of small features. Cura 4.3 now intelligently recognizes small perimeters and automatically reduces print speed in these areas. This is particularly advantageous for printing intricate details like small holes, which are often prone to detachment. By slowing down for these delicate areas, Cura 4.3 boosts the accuracy and reliability of small features in your cura 3d print, resulting in cleaner and more precise final products.
Simplified Z Seam Positioning
Positioning the Z seam is now more intuitive with the new easy selector. Thanks to a contribution by trouch, Cura 4.3 now includes a dropdown menu in custom mode, offering a selection of presets for placing the Z seam. This simplified approach makes it easier than ever to strategically hide or place the Z seam on your cura 3d print models, improving surface finish and aesthetic appeal.
Colorblind Assist Theme for Improved Accessibility
Addressing accessibility, Nubnubbud has introduced a new colorblind assist theme. This theme enhances color distinction within the Cura interface, especially in the layer view where yellow and green lines are prominent. This ensures a more inclusive and user-friendly experience for colorblind users working with cura 3d print, making the software more accessible to a wider audience.
Bug Fixes and Overall Improvements
Beyond these exciting new features, Cura 4.3 addresses a range of bugs from previous versions. These fixes include resolving issues with tray icons persisting after application closure, silent mode installation and uninstallation improvements, and enhancements to the ‘arrange all models’ function. For a comprehensive list of all changes and fixes, refer to the full release notes.
