3 Cura Slicer Setting Tricks For Beginners

Chuck shows you three Cura Slicer Setting Tricks For Beginners that he uses on his Creality Ender 3 and CR-10 Mini's all the time. These Cura 3.x tricks are especially helpful to anyone getting started with 3D Printing and also may help experienced users who may need separate processes in Cura. He goes thru each step by step so you can recreate these tricks yourself.

Note: You can also use the “Modify settings for infill of other models” in the drop down. They both seem to do the same thing for the multiple infill process example.

That support block modifier opens up a world of possibilities!!!

Thanks Chuck! I have only had my Ender 3 for a couple of weeks but your video's along with other's have proven INVALUABLE! I greatly appreciate your time and dedication to helping us all out!

I had no idea you could use support blocker objects for custom settings, or that you could scale them to different sizes. you have changed my entire printing life. THANK YOU!

[henricoderre]

I've avoided playing too much with Cura's adjustments and settings because I was afraid to mess it up. But your videos inspire confidence, and I appreciate it. Thanks Chuck.

What a great communication style you have! I found those Cura tricks the answer to many of my questions.. and NO MUSIC! fantastic. Thanks for taking the time to post this YT video.

[markferrick]

Excellent. I knew but forgot#1, # 2 is fantastic and I can see how #3 will be helpful.

[megsman]

I wish I could double thumbs up this. I've used this before but forgot how. 1 year later, I came back to this video to refresh my memory. Thanks.

[McRibz]

Wow, really great tip on using support blocker, thank you.

[YuriyKlyuch]

Holy-moly! I’m using Cura for more than two months now and had no idea it can do that advanced tricks like variable infill. Chip for the win!

There are additional support/brim options in Cura 3.6 that are awesome. "Enable Support Brim" will create a brim inside the support instead of those lines, "Tower Diameter" will make small supports wider at the bottom, and "Brim Replaces Support" will use the model brim as the first support layer instead, which combined with "Brim Distance" of ~0.2mm means you create a brim around the model for the supports, but it isn't actually touching it so you don't have to remove it.

You are the absolute most helpful person to watch on YouTube! I have been wondering how to slice halves! I really am enjoying your amazing Filament Friday Filament!! I will buy more!

[lmychajluk]

I realize this video is over a year old and recorded with a previous version of Cura, but FYI for anyone watching - there is now a 'Enable Support Brim' option that only prints a brim under the supports.

I'm a New User and the 3 tricks were very useful. I'm a fast learner and will help others with what I learned in your video. I appreciate your time giving us new users to some insight.

I have been printing for about 2 years now but mostly on an old machine about 8 months ago I brought an ender 3 and I just wanted to say your videos have been a great help!

[redkraken]

As a beginner, I wanted to say "thanks!" - those are great tips and just cleared a lot of the fog around supports that I had. Great stuff.

[NeonDreams]

I came back to this video 4 years later, love these videos for reference for when future me forgets!

@CHEP, this video is really timely; I gave a presentation/demonstration of using Cura 3.6 to a 3D printing meetup group yesterday evening. Many people in this meetup were quite new to 3D printing, and some had only seen older versions of Cura which came with some imported / low-cost printers, so went over the basics of navigating the software and its settings. A few people who already knew the basics asked some questions which I could not answer, and then here today you answered the exact questions which were asked; how to use those bottom two buttons on the left edge of the screen. Nicely done!

[bigcountryvet]

Love these videos. I have t watch a few times to follow what to do. I'm a retired old fart trying a new hobby. Thanks for the channel.

[davey]

I've never used that support blocker before but I could have used it a hundred times - I never knew what it was for - EPIC!!!! THUMBS UP!
