Anyone know if there’s a timeline for when Delta support is re-added to the latest Cura software?
It is not on our roadmap right now. But contributions are welcome.
Is there a Git/SVN/… repository with the Cura sources, where one can develop improvements?
(I find that automatic slicing blocks all UI for minutes before I can finally select that I want different slicing parameters in the first place)
The 3 parts are:
Note that some great progress has been made on the latest betas with the slicing blocking the UI (the background communication serialization library was blocking the UI incorrectly)
great!
@Daid_Braam That’s unfortunate to hear 
Although I do appreciate that you guys do this for free. I’m sure I speak for all when I say I hope you guys implement it.
How is Delta support not in Cura?
Bed center or something? When did posx and posy get removed?
That’s crazy, how could you 3d print without knowing where the printer should start?
Why would something like that get removed?
@Andrew_Hodel It wasn’t exactly removed, their newest version (beta now I think?) didn’t have delta support added yet.
@Shai_Schechter what do you mean by Delta support?
A delta is the same thing as a cartesian with a very simple (8mhz can easily support) algorithm to calculate the tower positions relative to the bed position.
Why on earth would they make the gcode be different for a different type of 3d printer, who wants to select yet another setting that is absolutely not necessary?
@Andrew_Hodel center of the bed is 0,0 not the front left corner. And the bed is round. The old Cura had some features for this. (new Cura as well, but there is no default machine profile for it)
I do disagree with the fact that a 8mhz CPU can easily support it. At 16mhz AVR with Marlin, machines are having a hard time keeping up at higher speeds. (When using both a display and delta)
@Daid_Braam so explain to me, you are saying that you want to change the gcode to not actually be the coordinates of the work sent to the controller but the coordinates of each tower?
Or you are saying that bedx and bedy was removed?
EDIT In CuraEngine
