Cura LulzBot Edition version 2.6.66 and above 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.‎‎

‎Upgrading? Clean Your Cache!‎

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 custom settings or profiles are in use.‎
