Cura LulzBot Edition is a Free Software 3D printing solution offered through our code repositories.
System requirements and the End User License Agreement can be found on LulzBot.com/Cura.
Cura LulzBot Edition version 2.6.66 contains firmware standardized for use with all LulzBot Mini 3D Printers, and contains important bug fixes. However, once your firmware has been updated to 1.1.5.70, GCode files sliced with earlier versions of Cura LE will no longer be compatible and will have to be re-sliced using the latest version of Cura LE. We recommend using the latest firmware included within Cura LulzBot Edition to maximize long-term compatibility. Users that need to use existing GCode files can restore compatible firmware (1.1.5.64 or below) through Legacy Cura LulzBot Edition v21.08.
The commands below will delete the older slicing profiles and 3D printer settings from previous versions of Cura LulzBot Edition. Back up the files and folders listed below first if any customizations have been made.
Open a terminal.
Run the following commands:
cd; rm -rf ~/.cache/cura-lulzbot ~/.config/cura-lulzbot ~/.local/share/cura-lulzbot
If you prefer to use one of our precompiled Cura packages, download the appropriate .deb file for your system architecture from one of three archives:
Ubuntu Xenial through Artful 64bit Ubuntu Bionic through Disco 64bit Previous Versions
Once downloaded, in a terminal navigate to the directory containing the file and send the following command:
sudo dpkg -i cura-lulzbot-version.deb
If you have trouble connecting to your LulzBot 3D printer, you may need to add your user account to the dialout/tty serial access group. In a terminal, send the following commands:
sudo usermod -a -G tty $USER
sudo usermod -a -G dialout $USER
Log out of your current session and once you log in again, you should have port access.
