Download Cura 5.4.0

Cura is developed by UltiMaker to make 3D printing as easy and streamlined as possible. Cura contains everything you need 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 both the latest firmware and the calibration files for the 3D printer. Version 5.4.0 of Cura has been released and the following changes and improvements have been made:

Introduced the new Tree Support – try it for yourself with this dragon pencil cup.

• Improved slicing time for Tree Support
• Introduced 10 new settings and updated 2 so anyone can tune the behavior
• Updated options for Tree Support Rest Preference to be more correct
• Fixed a bug where Tree Support would generate unsupported islands
• Fixed a bug where slicing would fail if Preference was set to On Any Flat Surface
• Fixed a bug where branches were not generated when Support Interface was enabled.
• Fixed a bug where the Support Overhang Angle caused a crash with Tree Support
• Fixed a bug where the Support Interface was not correctly generated with Tree Support

Changed the order in which the brim is printed so it’s easier to remove

Introduced the Smart Brim setting that changes the order in which the brim lines are printed making them easier to remove. Try it for yourself with this Cura Cookie Cutter.

New features and improvements:

• Updated the UltiMaker logo to reflect the new company logo

• Improved accuracy of when the M104 Hotend Temperature command is added
• Improved printing order of the prime tower to include a dual brim, primed every layer, and primed before and after the extruder switch.
• Improved behavior for opening and closing categories when adding a new printer
• Removed the settings related to Wire Printing since it was broken and barely used.
• Upgraded PyQt to version 6.4.2 which improves responsiveness in the UI

Known critical issues:

• Support Brim is missing if the Buildplate Adhesion is set to None. We are tracking reports here.
• Hide seam is actually not hidden and can give random results, for now changing the Seam Corner Preference to None will give better results. We are tracking reports here.
• Combing Not In Skin can result in unexpected stringing. We are tracking reports here.
• Multiple external monitors on Windows (especially if from the same brand) might be a problem under some circumstances.
• Does Cura (not) work on your OS (version)? See this article for clarification.
• The provided mac builds have signing issues, these signing issues will be resolved
