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.

I am a noobie and been pouring through tutorials. This is the best one of them all. Dude you are a gifted teacher. Looking forward to going through your library!
Wow. Thanks a lot. I’m really happy to hear I could help you! Best of luck with your prints!
Facts! Thank you for this!
Well stated! He is a gifted teacher :)
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
Thanks for the comments.
Putting estimated time and filament usage in the file name is a great idea! Thanks!
Great Service to all the beginners in the world in 2023‼️ On behalf… Thank You‼️🙏😃
Thank you! I’ll do whatever I can to help people get into this amazing hobby!
I have been an instructor for 34 years and let me say that you are a natural. Your way of teaching is as complete as I have seen. 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.
Wow. You made my day. Thank you so much for all the kind words. Teaching is my passion. I hope one day I can just do this and teach everything about this awesome hobby.
Your tutorials are by far the most helpful ive watch. Being new to 3d printing your videos are very much appreciated
As a total beginner your video is invaluable to me. Great content, well thought out and clearly articulated. Many thanks for all the time and effort that you put in to your videos..
Second that!
Watched another channel's Cura Beginner "tutorial" before this one. Learned a little bit, but got blasted with "life advice" midway through the presentation. This, however, is top-tier education. Learned so much from this and it encouraged me to dig in more.
Ha ha. I think my only life advise is 3D print more 🤣. I’m really glad this could help you. Best of luck printing!
I just bought my first 3d printer. an ender 3 s1 pro, and I have been looking for a great tutorial on Cura. I have to say this is a top-notch guide and I learned so much from it. I will be checking out as much of your stuff that I can. I wish more people made in depth videos like this. It's so hard to follow some of these other videos because I think they forget that if your new to this you might not know what the hell there talking about. AWSOME JOB!!! I can't wait to learn more. # new subscriber!
I have watched so many video tutorials I was becoming extremely overwhelmed. Most of them just say “adjust this setting” but don’t explain how. Your going in depth for the different settings is immensely helpful. Thank you!
I have been printing for sometime and just make sure is was flat to the baseplate. I never found the right video to simply explain Cura. Being older finding out how things work in a simple way is brilliant. Loved this video so now will try more in the settings, the supports trees and touching build plate helps a lot.
I have no hesitation in recommending this to anyone starting out. Excellent presentation, as always.
Thanks so much. It was a big one to work on. Lots of work but it would be worth it if we can just get more person in the hobby 🤩
This was so helpful to me! As a beginner I now have the confidence to print my first file from Cura thanks to you!!!
Best video, by far, for complete noob like me. Thank you for talking on my “noob” level.
I don't usually leave comments on videos but just wanted to say Thank You for the tutorial. This was super helpful.
Great video. I've been 3D printing for over 5 years and I still picked up some good information from this video. That's what I love about this hobby.. you never stop learning.
Thanks so much. That’s great I could help someone with that much experience!
As always great tutorial on cura I had a hell of a time adding my Sovol sv04 to it literally took hours and hours lol once I figured it out it actually took a Minute to do 🤦🏼
Ps it amazes me that you don’t have a lot more subs your content is so helpful I literally use all your settings and since doing that my prints are turning out amazing 🎉
I’m glad you liked it! To your point about subs… we’ll I’m hoping to keep growing my only goal is to help as many people as I can. The hobby can be super rewarding and frustrating when you can’t figure things out. I just want it to be more of the former for people. Thanks for the comment and your continued support!
Thank you so much. This is super helpful. You do a great job teaching this at a basic level but keeping it moving so as not to feel like you are feeling too long on any one topic.
Awesome, thank you! I’m glad it was helpful
Thank you. Your tutorial are so helpful. I wanted to just sell my printer but now I feel more comfortable that I understand the basics. Can't wait to watch more tutorials and learn more. Thank you again.
Newbie 3 months in using Buildbee, tomorrow I start with Cura because of you and your skills both as teacher & technical translator putting everything into easy to understand format , I applaud you as I think everyone else does Thank you Sir !!!
Oh wow thanks so much. I wish you the best of luck with printing in Cura.
Fantastic! Thank you very much!
Thank you so much! My son wants a 3D printer for Christmas and I am clueless. This tutorial helped me so much. I feel confident getting him started now.
Thankyou for this tutorial and up and coming tutorials. This will be a massive help to all people that have 3d printers, cos there has been massive influx people buying 3d printers and are just learning the basics. Great job will be watching to see any pointers that may help me more.
Your welcome and to your point that is exactly why I created this. Anything I can do to help new people starting out. I remember the frustration I had when I got into 3D printing 9 years ago. Back then there wasn’t much out there but forums. 😅
This is absolutely the most comprehensive and easy to follow guide I have found so far. I love your work man. Please keep it up❤

Thank you for the video. I found it really informative. I have been using Cura for about a month and getting awful results. Now I have a little insight hopefully I will get better prints. I intend to follow along on all your 3D printing posts. Thank you for the effort you put in.
That’s great! I’m glad it helped you. I have a full deep dive series where I explain everything you need to know about Cura once your ready to really get in the weeds with the program.

Greetings from Germany
You are welcome! I’m so glad it could help you!!

Excellent ❤
Thank you SIR!
Cura works well on Linux too btw 👍😊.
My old laptop struggled with Windows 10, so I threw out windows and installed Linux Mint almost a year ago.
Installing Cura was easy, and I have been using Cura For Linux almost a year now.
That’s awesome. I couldn’t show that process cause I don’t have a Linux box. I built one a while back but couldn’t find it to do this video 😅
Great content..helped me understand a lot in an hours time
Super helpful video. Thank you for keeping it simple and easy to follow!
this was an good tutorial of Cura, great refresher for me as i am looking at getting a neo 3d and start printing again........tanx for the great vid.
Top notch! I thought I knew enough about Cura, turn out there's always something new to learn.
That’s great glad I could help give some new info!
Very nicely delivered. I learned exactly what I needed to know. Thank you so much MeadMade.
After watching your video I am going to be a devoted user of Cura .Thank you !!!
Excellent presentation. The mustachio is a tad distracting - but I'm sure the dog loves it.....
Glad you like the video

The most comprehensive Cura slicing tutorial.
Thank you so much! New sub here!🇺🇸
I’m just starting 3d printing and this video was very informative
Great video
thank you so much for the nice video
Amazing tutorial - a masterclass indeed🎖🎉. Learning and setting up the prelims while waiting for my Kywoo IDEX to be delivered
Glad it was helpful!
Man you are good! Thanks
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.
Superb thank you so much 👍
Thanks For That 🎉
Diggin' the stache' dude!
Really great tutorial. I'm glad I stumbled across it. I am totally new to this and it's appreciated. Liked and subscribed. Thanks man!!!!
