Linux will probably work better as we have a lot more developers working on Linux

Should be allright. There are multiple prusa definitions in the latest Cura.

There is nothing to worry about. We've managed to get Cura whitelisted for a number of virus scanners.

Oh damnit. The frigging virusscanner is bitching about Cura again. Ugh.

As usual; Let us know what you feel / think / break. Can't make any promises that we will fix it, but we will take them into consideration!

(I'm big into documentation)

You mean like the online manual? https://ultimaker.com/en/resources/manuals/software

Saw this one yet?

I haven't had time to deepdive into the code yet (copious spare time and all).

FieldOfView is working on that. Not sure when it will be done though.

If you manualy connect to them, are they reachable?

It pretty much works the same as infill meshes. So the intersection of a dual mesh with the to be printed object can be printed with a different extruder.

The beta will be soonish (few weeks max)

Cura 2.6 will also have a feature to convert any model into a dual color model.

You don't need OBJ files for dual extrusion.

The startup speed should be faster in the current or next release. Can't remember which release it was, but I saw that at a recent demo of the firmware team.

AlephObjects are working on it. I've also seen FieldOfView working on it, so there is a good chance that it's going to be in there at some point in time.

It's high up the list (in the same ballpark as variable layer height). But as always; amount of work > amount of people to do the work. We're also making small steps to make it easier to install & distribute plugins. We're getting more and more people that want to hook into Cura, so we also need...

The focus (justifiably) is more towards Ultimaker printer users, and less on general users. I'd love to see more people helping out in that regard. FieldOfView is doing an amazing job and the guys from AlephObjects are also pulling their weight, but a lot 3D printer companies are only "consumi...
