#Ultimaker cura 4.7 manual pdf software

I guess my frustration with all of this is that the bug was blatantly obvious to someone who had that configuration. That value isn't zero, but it's obviously not the same as in our own printers. At a certain point, there is an end to the amount of money that Ultimaker is willing to invest into support third party printers. If we would need to test all of that, we'd need 20+ QA engineers. But well, there are hundreds of printers available in Cura.

It's not like we don't care at all about what third party printers do / work with Cura. Well, there is a reason why i fixed the bug. If PrusaSlicer had worked better with my Ender, all those sales would be lost to Prusa. Subsequently, my advice to others built on this experience has directly lead to at least four other S-series purchases. This positive experience with Cura on a 3rd party printer directly lead me to buy an Ultimaker S3. Reiterating my personal 3d printing 'journey', I started with an Ender 3, and out of all the slicers I tried, Cura worked the best/easiest. Although I really must stress how important it is that you try and make 3rd party users feel important, rather than just being relegated to the 1% as suggested by Nallath. That all goes away if 3rd party support is pushed too far to the background. That is certainly why I bought my Ultimaker printer, and why I have convinced many others to buy Ultimaker printers. You must surely gain a huge portion of your sales from 3rd party people starting with cheap knockoff printers, using Cura, then specifically selecting an Ultimaker printer as their next step up because of their familiarity with Cura.

I don't think that suggesting the software is 'not broken' really qualifies as technical support, your definition may vary.Īnd look, I appreciate that 3rd party printers might not be the #1 priority on a day-to-day development basis, but consider that Cura is the gatweay drug into the Ultimaker ecosystem. There are also several notes about not offering technical support for third party printers. 'Which 3rd party printers are supported by Cura?Ī complete list of supported 3rd party printers can be found here.' Is there anywhere specific where this is/was mentioned? I've not seen it so far (i would have said something about it if I did, since we simply can't provide that support!)įirst reference I could find quickly, on these very forums:
