Download Cura 15.04.6: What's New in this Latest Version

The latest version of Cura, 15.04.6, has arrived with a range of exciting updates and improvements. To keep up with the times, we've updated the images to display an Ultimaker S3 instead of an Ultimaker 3. The installer has also undergone some small fixes to ensure a smoother experience for users.

One notable improvement is the clearer text added to the sign in popup and first use flow, highlighting the benefits of using an Ultimaker account with Cura. This change is backwards-compatible, meaning that you don't have to make any adjustments in both Cura and Uranium at the same time.

The 'Extensions' submenu has also received a boost thanks to fieldOfview's contribution. Plugin authors can now add separators between menu items using their method. This addition makes it easier for users to navigate and find the plugins they need.

A known issue with the stair stepping algorithm has been addressed, which sometimes caused support material to disappear when using PVA. To mitigate this problem, the chance of support material vanishing has been reduced by setting the value to 0 for PVA profiles. This change should reduce scarring and adhesion issues associated with PVA.

In preview mode with the 'Line type' selected, support material will now render with transparency, making it easier to see what's being supported. The 'Infill only' checkbox has also been replaced with a dropdown selection: 'Infill mesh only' or 'Cutting mesh'.

Smartavionics has contributed a new setting that applies an offset to all holes on each layer, allowing you to manually enlarge or contract holes to compensate for horizontal expansion. A tooltip provides extra information about which scripts are enabled for quick and easy inspection, eliminating the need to open the post-processing dialog.

The number of enabled post-processing scripts will now display as a badge notification over the post-processing scripts icon, making it easier to keep track of your settings. FieldOfview has also contributed an ease-of-use improvement to the post-processing plugin, streamlining the process for users.

Finally, version 4.6 expands the range of Engineering Intent profiles to include more Ultimaker material portfolio options: PC, Nylon, CPE, and CPE+. This update provides even more convenience for users who want to start prints quickly without extensive configuration steps.
