Cura specific firmware or a new way to flash?

General Software

Hello All,

Browsing the Lulzbot page the other day looking for Cura Profiles and I came across a link that appeared to be CURA Firmware.
https://www.lulzbot.com/support/firmware-flashing-through-cura

My question is this firmware a new Cura specific version or is it the normal firmware update with a new way to flash it using Cura?

Thanks,
Tom

This is a way of loading your 3D printer firmware, called Marlin, by using Cura instead of through the Arduino IDE. It’s quicker and easier. You will typically not ever need to reload your firmware unless you change your tool head or other hardware-specific things.
