Ultimaker Cure

Some time ago we touched on the blog about Ultimaker Cura which is a program that provides a graphical interface to prepare models for 3D printing and that from the model, the program determines the setting for the operation of a 3D printer the sequential application of each layer.

Now I am pleased to share with you the news that the application a few days ago received a new update coming this to its new version "Ultimaker Cura 4.10" and in which various changes and improvements have been made, of which the most interesting novelty is the native import plug-in for CAD.

If you do not know about Ultimaker Cura, let me tell you that this is an application designed for 3D printers, in which you can modify the printing parameters and then transform them to code G. It was created by David Braan, who after a while would work for Ultimaker, a company dedicated to the design and manufacture of 3D printers.

Ultimaker Cure It is characterized by providing a graphical interface to prepare models for 3D printing, which It is adjusted according to the model and the program determines the scenario of the 3D printer during the sequential application of each layer.

How to install Ultimaker Cura on Linux?

For those who are interested in being able to install this application on their system, they can do so by following the instructions that we share below.

Generally for Linux, the developers of Cura offer us an AppImage file which we can obtain from the official website of the application. The link is this.

Or for those who prefer to use the terminal, they can get the package by typing the following command:

wget https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/releases/download/4.10.0/Ultimaker_Cura-4.10.0.AppImage

After downloading the package we are going to give you execution permissions. We can do this by secondary clicking on the package and in the context menu we go to the properties option. In the window that was opened, we position ourselves on the permissions tab or in the "permissions" section (this varies a bit between desktop environments) and we will click on the "execution" box.

Or from the terminal we can give the permissions by executing the following command:

sudo chmod x+a Ultimaker_Cura-4.10.0.AppImage

And voila, now we can run the installer by double clicking on the file or from the terminal with the command:

./Ultimaker_Cura-4.10.0.AppImage

Finally, in the case of Arch Linux or derivatives, We can install the application directly from the Arch Linux repositories (even though the version is an older one). To do this we just have to type:

sudo pacman -S cura
