For many printers this maximum feedrate is unknown. The rationale for this commit is that if it's unknown we shouldn't limit the speed settings. This does cause the time estimations to be out of whack if the speed is limited on one axis but not on another axis, such as if you home the build plate while homing the head as well (when the head is much faster than the build plate). Because now Cura doesn't assume that there is a limit on any axis any more. It just holds the print speeds. Many printers override these settings so that they have a more realistic value. Previously the value of 500mm/s wasn't very realistic anyway, as most printers have somewhere in the area of 250mm/s in their firmware limits. Fixes #5640.
Cura
This is the new, shiny frontend for Cura. Check daid/LegacyCura for the legacy Cura that everyone knows and loves/hates. We re-worked the whole GUI code at Ultimaker, because the old code started to become unmaintainable.
Logging Issues
For crashes and similar issues, please attach the following information:
- (On Windows) The log as produced by dxdiag (start -> run -> dxdiag -> save output)
- The Cura GUI log file, located at
%APPDATA%\cura\<Cura version>\cura.log
(Windows), or usuallyC:\Users\\<your username>\AppData\Roaming\cura\<Cura version>\cura.log
