Ultimaker Cura

What's new in this version:

New features and improvements:
- Universal Cura Project files
- Open print files directly from Thingiverse

Newly introduced Settings:
- Settings that define the raft offset for top, middle and bottom raft layers
- Brim only on the inside setting
- Introduced a new Prime tower type: Interleaved, next to the current Normal
- Apply Monotonic ordering to the Raft Top Surface
- Raft Wall Line Count for the Bottom, Middle, and Top of the raft
- Allowing to define print sequence manually

MethodX and MethodXL specific improvements:
- Enabled Print over Cloud for UltiMaker MethodX and Method XL printers
- Introduced ASA, SR30, and Nylon12-CF profiles for MethodX and Method XL Printers. The latest firmware version that supports these materials is available here.
- Improved the predicted printing time so it's closer to the actual printing time on the MethodX and MethodXL
- Improved the idle nozzle temperature for dual extrusion printing on MethodX and MethodXL
- Resolved a crash for the Method printer when navigating to the Monitor tab
- Improved the way that the fanspeeds were listed and controlled for MethodX and MethodXL printers
- Updated Raft settings for UltiMaker MethodX and MethodXL
- Enabled Monotonic Raft Surface to improve adhesion
- Increased the Minimum Retract Distance to improve infill pattern wall overlaps

Other improvements:
- Introduced an analyzing tool in the cura engine to better track slicing crashes, and started fixing the biggest reports coming in
- The play speed of the nozzle in the preview is now closer to the movement of the printhead
- Introduced an option to choose Drop Model to Buildplate every time a project file is loaded
- Introduced DisplayInfoOnLCD Post Processing Script which combines DisplayFilenameAndLayerOnLCD with DisplayProgress
- Introduced alternative camera navigation similar to FreeCAD Trackpad

Fixed:
- Resolved significantly slower slicing for models with a lot of holes
- A significant amount of crashes have been resolved that are caused by self intersecting polygons
- Align to Buildplate did not work for grouped meshes
- The models in a 3mf file would not load in their saved position, please note that this also changes the behavior of the "import models" feature of a 3mf file, for this feature the saved model location will be ignored
- Reduced the amount of floating support in areas near the support overhang angle threshold
- Fixed a bug with the Initial Extruder Number in the start gcode
- Fixed a bug where Z could be negative if Remove Empty Layers was enabled
- Pressing the Esc key now doesn't exiting full screen mode
- Improved the OAuth protocol to improve signing in with plug-ins
- Fixed tree support-related crashes if there are no overhangs
- Fixed some slicing crashes with tree support
- Fixed available height when adding modifier mesh in One at a Time printing
- Improved behavior for loading 3mfs by giving the models original names
- Added an error so LimitXYAccelJerk doesn't run unless Accel Control is enabled in Cura
- Some helpful code cleanup

Bugs resolved since the Beta Release:
- Resolved some crashes when opening project files
- Resolved the biggest crashes coming in via the analyzing tool in the cura engine
- Added links to support pages for Method materials to help find the best material compatibility
- Introduced several visual improvements for the loading Universal Cura Projects window
- Universal Cura Projects will now be opened in the center of the buildplate
- The prime tower no longer primes extruders that are not being used
- Fixed file association for stl, obj, 3mf, gcode, and ufp for MacOS
- MacOS users can use the open menu multiple times in a row again
- The support type is now updated in recommended when it’s changed in custom
- The skirt height is now generated on the innermost skirt instead of the outermost skirt again
- Fixed the skirt distance for dual extrusion printers
- The Brim Only Inside setting will not generate a brim on support when it’s not defined
- Fixed a bug where the project name would accidentally revert after saving
- Improved handling of a fractional layer with tree support

Profiles and materials:
- Introduced high-speed profiles for the layer heights <0.15mm for Ultimaker PLA, T-PLA, ABS and PETG
- Updated Initial Layer Speed settings for UltiMaker S3, and UltiMaker S5
- Updated the Shrinkage Factor for PET CF to improve dimensional accuracy
- Improved self-support settings for UltiMaker Materials
- Renamed UltiMaker PP Transparent to UltiMaker PP Natural
- Increased part strengths of high-speed modes by compensating for slip in high flow rates
- Improved adhesion settings for UltiMaker ABS
