Ever seen how much bullshit there is in 3D printing these days?

We released our beta of Cura 2.1 on Friday. It’s good, it’s different, so you might need to get used to it a bit. But it has many many improvements.

Anyhow, look at this article:

Someone who says they are into 3D printing as of 2007 did not notice that he mixed up the old and the new version. Giving it the oddest mixup review that I ever read. Expressing praise for new features that where not in the version that he reviewed, as well as praising odd things in the old design as improvements.

@Fabbaloo you just exposed yourself as now knowing your shit.

Did you try to contact him? I know its very frustrating to be critisized by the uninformed. But maybe if you address your concerns with him, he might edit his post, and fix it. Of course, you cannot do that with every one who comes out of the woodwork, but if you create a nice canned email you could just paste and send… Anyway keep up the great work, I for one appreciate anything constructive that is done to help the 3d printing community further the hobby, and i have had good experiences with your slicer so far…

I think the article is hilarious, it would have been a great one for aprils fools :’-)

Can’t read it, it appears it was removed, and the author reprimanded.

@Joe_Spanier ROFL – this is stinking hilarious. None of my cache sites have the old article cached. :frowning:

Usually when I find something like this I’ll hit up http://archive.is and find a copy of it, or make a copy of it so that people can’t retract and hide things.

Here is a backup, for your delight: https://www.dropbox.com/s/n39dvkpnnijbrwc/cura_blog_happy_accident.pdf?dl=0
No bad feelings towards Fabbaloo, I believe these things can happen to anyone. In this case with hilarious effect

I really like the simplicity of being able to choose a couple options like “hollow, medium, strong, and solid”. Is there a way that someone like me could just make a profile like that and save it to be shared. I always share my profiles with my printers but for simplicity purposes I would love to be able to have given values correspond to a drop down box. Much like what you show and how lulzbot ships their Cura. Really great slicer. I never use anything else.

Anyone know if the beta gives options to add a machine that is not in their list? I think it was under machine settings previously…

@David_Selwood due to changes in how machines is handled, custom machines directly in the GUI isn’t currently available.
Machines are defined by json files. There is a generator for these files at: http://quillford.github.io/CuraProfileMaker/
