-New Features
|
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-* Plugin based system
|
|
|
- The Uranium framework provides us with a plugin-based system
|
|
|
- that provides additional flexibility when extending Cura. Think
|
|
|
- of new views, tools, file formats, etc. This is probably the
|
|
|
- biggest new feature.
|
|
|
-* Improved UI
|
|
|
- The UI has received a complete overhaul.
|
|
|
-* Time-Quality Slider
|
|
|
- The 4 static quick print profiles have been replaced with
|
|
|
- a slider that should make it easier to find the right spot
|
|
|
- between print time and print quality.
|
|
|
-* More Settings
|
|
|
- The Advanced mode is now configurable and can show many
|
|
|
- additional settings that were previously not available, while at
|
|
|
- the same time not overwhelming new users with too many settings.
|
|
|
- Custom set of visible settings can be created by the user.
|
|
|
-* Support for high-DPI screens
|
|
|
- The refreshed UI has been designed with high-DPI screens in
|
|
|
- mind which should improve the experience of Cura on such
|
|
|
- devices.
|
|
|
-* Improved language support
|
|
|
- (Not yet available for the Beta release.)
|
|
|
-* Improved support structure generation
|
|
|
- The new version of the CuraEngine now features improved
|
|
|
- support generation algorithms and additional options for support
|
|
|
- structure generation.
|
|
|
-* Experimental Feature: Wire Printing
|
|
|
- Wire Printing has been added as an experimental new feature. It
|
|
|
- will print objects as a structure of lines. It can be enabled by
|
|
|
- from Advanced Mode -> Fixes -> Wire Printing.
|
|
|
-* Undo/Redo
|
|
|
- It is now possible to undo and redo most scene operations, like
|
|
|
- moving or rotating objects.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Features from earlier versions not (yet) in this release
|
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-* The All-at-once/One-at-a-time toggle is not available.
|
|
|
- We are working on an improved implementation of this mechanism
|
|
|
- but it will not be available for this release.
|
|
|
-* No dual extrusion features are available yet.
|
|
|
- We are working on a completely new workflow for this but this
|
|
|
- needs additional time.
|
|
|
-* “Lay Flat” has been removed.
|
|
|
- The existing implementation was unfortunately not salvageable.
|
|
|
- We will be looking into an improved implementation for this
|
|
|
- feature.
|
|
|
-* "Split Object Into Parts" has been removed.
|
|
|
- Due to the same reason as Lay Flat.
|
|
|
-* Support for AMF and DAE file formats has been removed.
|
|
|
- Both of these will be implemented as plugins in the future.
|
|
|
-* Support for directly loading a GCode file is not yet available.
|
|
|
- This will be implemented as a plugin in the future.
|
|
|
-* Support for PNG, JPG and other image formats has been removed.
|
|
|
- These can be supported by a plugin with an improved UI.
|
|
|
-* Support for loading Minecraft levels has been removed.
|
|
|
- This can be implemented as a plugin.
|
|
|
-* Windows XP support has been dropped.
|
|
|
- Microsoft is no longer supporting xp, so they no longer back
|
|
|
- port certain features that we require.
|
|
|
-* X-Ray view is missing.
|
|
|
- Will be implemented as a (you might have guessed it) plugin.
|
|
|
-* Fixes: Follow Mesh Surface
|
|
|
- Has been removed from the engine, the same result can be
|
|
|
- achieved using no infill or top/bottom layers.
