Re: Cura Type A 1.4.2 Now Available
So you still have the Series1Legacy machine profile in this release, but I can't seem to find a way to select it. Shouldn't there be a "Select Machine Type" option that let's you pick from the available machine types??
I made all the necessary changes manually, just pointing out that there is a missing menu option.

Re: Cura Type A 1.4.2 Now Available
How do we add a 2014 beta machine to the Direct Upload? I have the api key but Cura does not seem to like my serial number as it has a 'B' in it.
Re: Cura Type A 1.4.2 Now Available
You can edit the hosts and hostname files to get rid of the B. Still might not work but worth a try.
Easy to do but if you don't know linux, you should google "change computer hostname".
