Download Cura 14.12

Cura was developed by Ultimaker to make 3d printing as easy and streamlined as possible. Cura contains everything you need to be able to print a 3d file. It works with all Ultimaker printers, as well as those from RepRap and Printrbot. Cura is easy to install and contains the latest firmware as well as the calibration files for the 3d printer. Version 14.12 was released a few days ago and its changelog looks like this:

Changes & Fixes in Cura

• Fixed a problem which was introduced in 14.09. There are extreme amounts of head movements generated.
• Speed ​​up GCode generation for large models by as much as 40%
• Fixed problems with placement of multiple objects on the build platform

• Fixed generating big GCode files (more than 200MB) on Windows
• French translation updates (Thanks to Jeremie Francois!)
• Fixed a problem where “everywhere” support did not work when german was used as language.
