Welcome to the ultimate guide to Ultimaker Cura 5 for beginners! In this ultimate guide for beginners, we'll take you through all the steps you need to know to get started with 3D printing using Ultimaker Cura. If you're new to 3D printing and have just set up your 3D printer, this guide is perfect for you.
First off, I'll explain what Cura is and why it's important to use a 3D slicer like Cura for 3D printing. We'll also go over the different software options available and show you how to download and set up Ultimaker Cura for your 3D printer.
Once you're all set up, I'll guide you through the process of opening a file, resizing and moving the 3D model, and changing the display mode and color scheme. We'll also cover the different types of filament available and which one is best for your first print.
Next, I'll show you how to identify areas that need support structures, prepare your model for print, and slice it using Cura. We'll explain the different settings you need to know, such as quality, infill, shell thickness, support, and build plate adhesion. I'll also give you tips on catching fails before you print and saving your file to disk.
Finally, I'll guide you through your first print and explain how to use pre-set printer profiles and create custom ones. We'll wrap up with a summary of the steps and how to start with simple prints.
If you're new to 3D printing or Ultimaker Cura, this guide is a must-watch.

    A good introduction for people new to 3D printing. Just a couple of comments: 1. Shell thickness - in Cura 5 (and other slicers using Arachne engine), it is possible to print walls which are narrower or wider than the nozzle size. But that's for more advanced users. 2. Tree supports can actually use more filament than normal supports; it depends on the model. 3. Saving files - it's good practice (particularly for projects with multiple prints) to include estimated time and filament usage in the file name as it helps with organising your printing schedule, eg Gecko_4h06m_172g

You are so comfortable talking to the camera and your explanations are to the point. I just started learning about 3D printing. Your numerous videos on 3D printers, Tinkercad, Cura and most important, your video on what can and will go wrong and how to troubleshoot it, are OUTSTANDING!!! Thank you for sharing with the rest of us.

    Chris, I watched your Cura tutorial a few month ago and I followed all your suggestions and it improved the print quality a little on my Ender 3 v2 printer however it still wasn't great. I recently purchase and Ender 3 v3 ke which with the Creality slicer. Long story short, the print quality of designs that I slice with the creality slicer are sooo much better. It's like day and night.
