How to configure Cura for upgraded ultimakers

This wiill be a tutorial on how to set up Cura for the Upgraded Ultimaker(s)

Whats going on?

I, Chrankus, just upgraded one of the ultimakers with a new all metal Hotend. This replaces the standard PEEK hotend that is standard on the ultimaker. It was the cause of a lot of headache for many users of the 3D printers. This upgrade should make the printer more robust and will be easier to repair and maintain. Currently only one of the Ultimakers have been upgraded, but we will be upgrading the rest in the near future.

This switch also means that all our current filament will be incompatible with the upgraded ultimakers. However it also means you(advanced users) will be able to use more exotic materials and a wider array of normal materials.

"Great, what do i need to change?"

With this upgrade we are switching from 2.85(3mm) filament to 1.75mm filament. This means that you have to tell cura that you're using a different filament diameter. If you do not change this you will extrude too little filament and your prints will fail.

Step 1 - Download/Upgrade Cura

Make sure you upgrade to the latest version of Cura from here: https://ultimaker.com/en/products/ultimaker-cura-software

This tutorial will be for Cura 3.0, but should work for newer and older versions.

Step 2 - Choose correct machine type

The first time you open cura you should be prompted with this window:

Choose "Ultimaker Original" from the list and give the machine a name. I suggest "Ultimaker Bitraf E3D 1.75"
