Was used for run-time efficiency, but it wasn't really ever set beyond one layer-height, which made it rather useless.
frontend part of CURA-11157 -- needed version upgrader as well, since it's the first alteration
A lot was changed in support. The short of it is that we now think towers should be on by default, but aren't _completely_ certain about it. It makes more sense to do make this change before the beta rather than just before stable, so we have a chance to revert should it prove disastrous.

Adding support for the Fusion3Designs F410 machine. Later the F400, F306 and Edge will follow.
My business owns a Fusion3 F410 and using it has been difficult. The manufacturer originally shipped the machine with a license for Simplify 3d. We originally purchased the machine about three years ago, and the S3D license was lost when the previous controlling employee left the organization. I have spent a long time trying to get this machine operational and unfortunately my employer will not replace the S3D license. Enter Ultimaker Cura...
I have been using Cura since 4.4 and have spent a LONG time building and updating profiles. In 2020 I added Tronxy support, and recently performed a major overhaul on the profiles package. This brought me back to my attempt at adding support for our F410.
The vast majority of the profiles used here are a culmination of things I have learned through building other profiles, as well as using data points extracted from the large repository of S3D profiles that were released by Fusion3Design. The profiles all work, they produce good results, and use all of the original settings placed fourth by the manufacturer.
There are unfortunately some limitations that I felt were important to work around. Fusion3Design has a large list of certified materials. With such, in an effort to help prevent users from voiding the warranty on their machine, materials that do not match the approved materials list have been omitted from the machine profile at this time. The Generic profiles provided by Fusion3Design have been incorporated in order to provide support for PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA, PC, PA, CPE, and TPU. There are many brand name and specialty filament specific profiles available, however since Ultimaker Cura does not already "support" these materials with specific selectable profiles, the best option was to leave them for a future update.
Please view the certified materials lists below.
