Most settings can be manually transferred between Simplif圓D® and Ultimaker Cura, although many have different names. Refer to the Program Codes Cheat Sheet and Program Codes Guide for information on all the G-code and M-code commands used to operate the AON3D machine. Known unsupported M-code commands used by Ultimaker Cura: Generally, these commands are not necessary and ignoring them has no negative consequence, however AON3D cannot guarantee this is always the case. The user will be alerted on the Graphical User Interface (GUI)/web browser when one of these commands is encountered, and the command is ignored. Ultimaker Cura uses several G-code and M-code commands that are not supported on the AON3D firmware. AON3D recommends checking the Tool Change Scripts in Simplif圓D® to replicate them in Ultimaker Cura per material. Note that the material profiles we provide for Simplif圓D® often have optimized versions of this script for specific materials and nozzle sizes.
Set the nozzle size diameter for each hot end assembly.įor the Start G-code and End G-code scripts, you can enter our generic Tool Change Scripts for T0 and T1 (copied below). The user can use the End G-code script in Ultimaker Cura to power the build chamber heater OFF at the end of the print, just as with Simplif圓D®. Although the AON3D machine should already be set to the correct build chamber temperature before a print is started, the user must make sure that the temperature is correctly set. The user must manually set the build chamber temperature. The user should not check the Heated Build Volume” box, as Ultimaker Cura uses a different G-code command M141 for a heated build chamber than the AON3D M104 T2. Refer to Multi-Part Printing for additional information and details. This is only relevant when printing multiple parts one after the other, rather than layer-by-layer. The Printhead Settings distances are conservative to avoid collisions with the cooling tubes on the toolhead. The recommended End G-Code script commands is as follows: // End G-code Keep the Start G-Code script entry empty. Hot End Heaters Calibration (PID Autotune)įor AON M2+ machines, set the Z(Height) to 565 mm.

ULTIMAKER CURA VS CURA HOW TO
You will not have to relearn 3D printing but you will have to spend time learning how to best use the S3D software.įinally I would add that we do not 3D print for fun, we provide prototyping and manufacturing services primarily to engineering companies and architects, which of course is fun but we do it to make money. Check out their community and get a view on the quality and helpfulness. Perhaps after two months start reading the documentation to be found on the S3D website and get an appreciation for yourself on how they differ. IMHO I would suggest you start with Cura, learn about the settings and how they affect the prints - 6 months? - and use the community to help you. Cura has a great and helpful community I have no idea about the S3D community. I do not think S3D is that easy and indeed to get the best out of S3D you need to get your hands dirty and start writing scripts (think they call it something else).
ULTIMAKER CURA VS CURA SOFTWARE
The new Cura (well not so new these days) has focussed on making the software much easier for inexperienced people with their standard setups and setups for materials - almost switch on printer, load model, select one option, print. They really ought to stop developing the software, which as I said has been immense in recent times, and just spend the next year fixing all the problems. We keep wanting to move up to Cura 3 but every point release rather than fixing bugs just seems to add more, given the continual problems posted on the forum. The problem with Cura and always has been is its quality. īut is it now as good as, better, worse? I am not qualified to say so having never tried S3D (only read documentation) and being on an old version of Cura. But Cura has had a lot of investment over the past year or two and has a lot more functionality, but still no layer height functionality. What particularly attracted me and still does, is the underlying structure of the software design that lets you change pretty much everything at a particular layer height, and again and again if you want to. So, especially if you have Concentrate equipped, you should use Curaga whenever you need to heal. The differences between the HP/MP ratios spikes just a bit. There is no doubt that S3D was better software by a margin. If Concentrate is equipped, then the HP/MP ratios will be as follows (in the same hypothetical situation).
ULTIMAKER CURA VS CURA TRIAL
Adobe can provide a trial whether the software costs 50 bucks or 500 bucks then S3D will never get our business. We refuse to spend 150 bucks on software from a company with little pedigree without access to trial software. We have used Cura for 4 years or so and pontificated over S3D for 2 years or so.
