Nope.

Could you also post this on github? Makes it easier to keep of track of things. I don't see anything in the log file that would explain the crash.

Well if you print something solid and without any thin parts it should be quite allright. But I think it's best not to take the risk.

You are right. We should definately look into this. I believe that the slicing has become a bit slower due to added features on the engine side, but it is weird that the loading is that much slower. Could you create an issue on github? Makes it easier for us to keep track of everything.

Could you run it as an admin and post the log file?

PLA in itself should okay. Not sure about the coloring.

Well, according to google the guy is a community support manager of the UK reseller.

Yeah, but the github issue tracker is a bit annoying. We need a better one.

Hellnaw. Why do people assume the worst? It's a simple time issue

For the moment dropping them here is allright. I've mentioned this to management yesterday already. They are looking into something like this.

Nope, not a known problem. Should be a logfile on windows aswell.

Yeah thats by design. Well, ill look into it later.

Ugh. This is why developers hate mac. Could you also post the log file?

Yup, we specifically design for that as it's easier to test things. We switch back to old versions sometimes to see if something was broken at that point already.

Huh. That is weird. Does the firmware update show when you select that one?

So. Yeah. For the people who want to see how easy it is to make things; https://github.com/nallath/PrintCostCalculator It's very nasty, built this in about an hour. Feel free to improve on this. Trow everything in the folder in a folder inside the plugin folder of cura and it should work.

Allright, thanks for reporting. Its on the list now.

That should be the way to do it. Could you post a bug report on https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/issues/?

Oh, wait. We don't use that argument. If it seems that way, i sure as hell did not intend to. People who modified the um are our costumers. We need to support those. You are totally right in saying that those users should have an equal (if not better) Cura experience .

Did you try 15.06.01? Also, what error?

O ye of little faith We meant it when we said that we like people to mess with the internals.

Yeah, whoops. Our bad. I've reported it.

If printerbot makes a pull request that is of sufficient quality.

Microsoft sells their software. We don't. You cant expect a commercial entity (which ya know, Ultimaker is) to invest in the products of the competitors. IMHO we're being kind enough as it is to even let others use the software. It's fair to draw the line at investing even more resources. Besides; the software windows sells is more valuable when more stuff works on it. They are making more money when they do this. We dont. Actually, we'd even make less as there would be less competitive advantage. You're free to think of it what you will, but if you want the support i'm going to have to fall back to the old open source saying; "Patches welcome!"

Could you send me the log? What OS are you on? What basicly happens is that Cura tries to establish if connected USB devices are actually printers. We've had other reports that this doesn't work correctly on mac for some users.
