Its most detailed controlling interface.

Its optimisation and adaptive printing option reduce the print settings time without much compromising print quality.

Its user friendly interface clearly display where improvement is needed and layer by layer visualisation of printing sequence is also very interactive.

Its tips in front of every options in setting dialog box Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It should have some more infilling patterns like honeycomb so that strength and material utilisation increases.

It must have an option so that different kind of support can be used in a single stl file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Besides it being free, Cura provides so much to its users, and there is no other software better than it. I run all my 3d printing using cura. It can work for hobbyists and professionals alike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Updates are very frequent without, what it seems to be, thorough quality control. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of opening my STL files and modifying the parameters to improve the final print, as well as the way I can move my 3D models, is so functional. I can see in detail the possible printing errors in an animated preview. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not all files can be edited or separated, although this often depends on the program that created the model. Sometimes when I embed multiple models, I can't manage to place them on the surface. Sometimes they end up below the bed and sometimes very high up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love everything about Cura! I have used many different 3D print slicing softwares, and this is the best one - and it's not even a contest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, the only thing that is annoying sometimes is how long it takes to open. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI of the software is simple and great to use. It is user-friendly and does the job perfectly. And the customisation options are good and the settings most of popular 3D printers are already in making it easy to set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I left it difficult to connect the 3D printer to the software, but it might been coz my low budget printer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it is easy to use, and we can adjust printing features without changing code in the microcontroller Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike nothing till now about this software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cura is incredibly intuitive, which is saying something since 3D printing has a ton of variables to deal with. However, they are all laid out in a way that just makes sense. Best of all, I've never had a single "software issue" through any of my hundreds of prints. Anything that has gone wrong has been on me due to a configuration error, or something with the printer itself.

It has worked well with every printer I've tested it with, and all have been in the system so basic settings like print area, nozzle size, etc are automatically pulled in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My biggest complaint is the view tools, such as panning, rotating and otherwise changing the view of the model you are setting up to print. While the setting are readily available, you will find yourself playing with various key/mouse combinations to check all the angles you'll need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the Cura Ultimaker software because it is an excellent tool to use all types of 3D printers, it allows us to modify all types of parameters before each print, such as the upper and lower layers, perimeters, padding, density, supports, between much others. Another very good aspect of Cura is that it allows me to modify the G codes of our 3D parts, with this I can pause printing by adding extra command lines. Also the options of adding all kinds of 3D printers are very good, since I can add all kinds of machines to the Cura Ultimaker profiles and change profiles every so often change printer. It is excellent that this software is available in more than 10 languages, something very useful for the entire community of makers around the world. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like that Cura Ultimaker software requires 4 GB of RAM or more for computers, since other similar softwares are lighter than Cura. It is a bit complicated to configure all the parameters of our printer at the beginning, since the program does not explain very well how to modify essential parameters such as the nozzle size and the separation between layers.

I like that I am able to quickly get an estimate for the price of the 3-D print that I am modeling in the software. It helps us give the client a quick idea before charging them Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that the program can be slow when loading in large files. Occasionally the program will crash or I will have to wait a while for it to splice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about Cura is that it is valid for all 3D printers, for example if you have an Anet A8 that does not appear in the predefined printers you can take a Prusa I3 and with changing the size of the hot bed you already have it configured. It also allows multiple configuration options for the filament. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I don't like about Ultimaker Cura is not being able to touch up the 3D models in the Software itself. For example, if you want to cut the head to a figure you cannot cut it with this software, you need another to perform these operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
