This video is all about the colors of Ultimaker Cura. There are so many colors in Cura. So I go over what all these colors mean. Knowing what each color means can help you get a better understanding of the Cura Software to get you better 3D prints.

@Cyromantik 2 года назад

The X-Ray mode of Preview is there for error checking. Somtimes there are gaps or flipped normals prior to exporting to STL, so in theory X-Ray is supposed to help see the errors Cura automatically warns you about.

@ItsMeaDMaDe 2 года назад

That make sense. Thanks for the info.

What you think about cura 5? I currently use 4.13 should I switch or continue with 4.13. Still trying to figure it out with your help it makes it easier. Thanks as always Paul

When I start doing my test prints witch do I go 1st stringing or angles?

@igotthegoodness 2 года назад

Thank you so much for this video if I would have never turn my theme black I would have never saw all the orange it was showing this helped a bunch. Can you do a video on the choices for bed adhesive.

@ItsMeaDMaDe 2 года назад

I’m really glad this helped you. Bed adhesion is a great topic. I’ll add it to the list. There are a lot of things you can do to help adhesion. I’ll try to do it soon.

I’m a newb to 3 D Printing and trying to learn - bought a Creality Ender 3 S1 Pro and would like the link to that model for my Grandson- just printed one off of thingtverse for him an turned into a 20 hr print it was covered in supports that I’m having a hard time removing- downloaded Cura and will give it a try

@Fredster9984 2 года назад

I loved it. Expand upon the infill subject next! I want to know more about lightning vs gradual infill. I think Gyroid wears my printer out for no reason. What's the least we can infill???

@ItsMeaDMaDe 2 года назад

That is a great topic! I can defiantly expand upon infill. I can do a few more experiments with lightning infill see where it works good and not so good. Gradual Infill is also a great thing to talk about. I'll add these to the list. Thanks!

@magnumgodfrey3175 5 месяцев назад

what are the file links for that paint wall holders you got going on there?

@goose1498 Год назад

Awesome video. Lots of helpful tips. Curious though. If I'm seeing green and yellow in spots on the "final layer" like you sonic has, is it going to look bad? I've been under the impression I want it to be all red for a good print although it seems impossible lol Wasn't sure if that meant I need to add more walls or what. Thanks

@thejinn99 Год назад

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the red means you have somewhere where you need supports in there. You may need to tell it to generate supports. I like using the tree supports because they're both easier to remove and seems to use less materials.

@almuyad5998 2 года назад

I have MacBook m1 And they said cura doesn’t support m1 How did u download it?

@ItsMeaDMaDe 2 года назад

I do not have a M1 chip. My computer is a few years old.

@almuyad5998 2 года назад

And thnx for the video ❤️❤️

@ItsMeaDMaDe 2 года назад

No problem. Thanks for watching!

@phillips7024 Год назад

watched the whole thing and didn't even get to hear what i was looking for. if you change the top in color scheme to flow. what does the color bar mean at the bottom? What is the difference between blue and red and all in between?? any help would be appreciated

@Aqua_Rails 5 месяцев назад

Sometimes Cura fills in my model, do you know why? Cura also sometimes ignores some of model

@jasongooden917 24 дня назад

Today my first layer was dark blue and my top layer was red... now that's confusing

@larrybowers 2 года назад

I believe I understand the dark blue line on the travel line type is travel without retraction...

@ItsMeaDMaDe 2 года назад

Dark blue is when the extruder is pushing filament. Light blue is traveling and not extruding.

@kingofsuits Год назад

I cannot change color scheme can you help

@Marc_5000 Год назад

Hey there! I was originally trying to figure out how to tell the printer to print different colors since I have an Ankermake M5 coming in about a month and they have a thing to print with 6 colors at once.... But I have absolutely no idea how to tell the printer which colors to use on different areas. Do you have any experience with this sort of thing?

@ItsMeaDMaDe Год назад

I’m sorry I don’t. I do believe there are separate slicer programs that do it for you. I don’t believe Cura allows you to do that.

@mrpwrtools4655 2 года назад

Do you have a basic template for Cura you use to start a project? If so how do you determine what to change? I’m a nube printing for about two months and slowly upgrading my equipment as well as my knowledge. Thanks for the tips in this video!

@ItsMeaDMaDe 2 года назад

Hi Glad you were able to get some good tips! You're on the right track actively trying to learn it will get you better prints faster. As for base settings I recommend watching my Cura Tutorial Playlist. The videos are in-depth explaining how I find my settings and I go over what I look at and changed every prints. You can see the videos here: ru-vid.com/group/PLv65CP2QM2rFHMu6OGJVkwC3ictFhB00n

@ItsMeaDMaDe 2 года назад

Also, forgot to mention I'm currently trying to create a cheat sheet of the checklist items I focus on every time before I hit print. That is to come soon!

@mrpwrtools4655 2 года назад

The checklist would be great. Us Nubes would have a way to make sure we start the prints right every time.

@antoniomartos6638 Год назад

Hi my name is Tony, I find your video's most helpful0, thank you for your Video's. I am new to 3D Printing. I just got my Viper printer, and i installed Cura on my Laptop. when it comes to scaling everything in Cura is in mm or %. iIprefer to print my files at a 1/6 scale. i have one that is 1/8th scale and an other one that is at a 1/4 scale. Cura will let you scale by a % or by mm.and i can't get it to print at the right 1/6 scale. what am i incorrectly doing? can you help?

@ItsMeaDMaDe Год назад

You can always make something at the correct scale and scale the model to match the right scale. Or if you know what size it actually is you could do the math to see how tall it would be in the scale you want.

@Panchothefatcat Год назад

What does a comic book pattern mean?

@jasonfreeman5069 2 года назад

X-ray mode is for checking if the model is watertight.

@ItsMeaDMaDe 2 года назад

Makes sense. Thanks for the info I’ll look into it more.

@PowerAirSimulations 2 года назад

Im going to try cura on my prusa printer it seems much easier to understand

@ItsMeaDMaDe 2 года назад

The prusa slicer is great for prusa. Cura is great for everything. I feel like you have more control in cura vs. prusa slicer.

@PowerAirSimulations 2 года назад

@@ItsMeaDMaDe You’re absolutely right one of the things that annoys me is when I want to have the print speed changed if I go to Prusa it doesn’t really break it down I’m not too sure what I’m slowing down but on Cura I could see every single thing that slows down and information about it

@ItsMeaDMaDe 2 года назад

Well there are definitely pros and cons. It's nice sometimes to just hit print and forget it. With Cura sometimes there are just too many settings and you might forget to check something and the print doesn't turn out right. good and bad on both sides for sure.

@PowerAirSimulations 2 года назад

@@ItsMeaDMaDe One of the things that I believe Prusa is really good at is changing filament colors, it’s basically put it where you want hit the plus Mark and that’s it.

@franciscomillan8916 Год назад

😂 right so many colors

@ItsMeaDMaDe Год назад

Yes. Cura sometimes looks like a rainbow.

@chriswaldron2617 Год назад

Changing a preference and closing the app down so that your preference is applied is the dumbest part of Cura

@stephenwalls5887 10 месяцев назад

speed up just a bit I got bored 7 mins in after you spent 3 mins straight trying to explain why pla was yellow its all good info but speed up the format just a bit and youll retain more watchers people can rewind but those of us that are a little quicker feel like were watching paint dry just food for thought solid content tho and very informative
