The way students or makers would be able to go on using a MOD-t printer involves downloading a special software, which is known as Cura. In order to use the Cura Software on your computer and get it to work with the MOD-t, students can simply click here and download version 15.04.6 of Cura software from June 7, 2016. Mix 2 pounds (0.9 kg) of non-iodized salt and 1 pound (0.4 kg) of white or brown sugar in a bowl. The sugar will offset the salty flavor. 2 Add approximately 1 ounce (28 g) of saltpeter to help preserve the curing flavor. In preview mode, the layer slider number is now at the top, instead of on the left, resulting in a neater fit next to the 'Settings' panels. Project name in window title. Just as your web browser shows the page title next to the name of the application, Ultimaker Cura now shows the name of the loaded file in the title bar.
