UltiMaker Cura Set-Up

  1. Add an UltiMaker printer from the start menu.
  2. Add a local printer from the start menu.
  3. Add a non-networked printer from the start menu.
  4. Add Ultimaker S7

This is the preparation window, which shows the bed size of the Ultimaker S7 (330 x 240 x 300 mm), select the filament type and color as well as setting up the values such as print resolution, which effects the length of time it takes to print as well as the material infill density.

  1. Press the Folder button to import your STL/OBJ/3MF file into Ultimaker Cura, or drag and drop files into Ultimaker Cura.

  2. In the drop-down menu, select the type of filament, e.g. PLA, Tough PLA, PVA, TPU, Breakaway and the filament colour. In this example, we are using UltiMaker White PLA from extruder AA 0.4

  3. Enable and disable the filament extruder heads by ticking the โ€œEnabledโ€ box. (Will cover the dual-extrusion option in our advanced 3D printing workshop)

  4. Material Setting

  5. Tailored Material Setting
