@NonSequor: I would be interested to know if this still happens in the 15.10 open beta, which you can download from here: https://ultimaker.com/en/community/view/17296-cura-1510-open-beta This contains a fix for the objects jumping away if you touch them more than once (among many, many other fixes and new features, and in all likelihood some new bugs that will get fixed shortly).

It has already been fixed (though the fix will not be available untill the next beta is released)

Aww, the new splash-screen didn't make it: https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/blob/58c8157fbceeabb26d673146179f4f4b91006e48/resources/images/cura.png Seriously though, thanks Cura team for taking on-board a lot of feedback. And thanks Ultimaker for clearly calling this what it is: an open beta. This version is going to be awesome when it hits release!

I'm using Firefox 40.0.2 (win7) and I don't see this.

These days, many people work on a laptop. On a laptop on battery-power, running and rerunning the slicer for every change does affect how long the laptop will operate before the battery runs out. Hence "waste of resources".

Same on Windows. One of us should post this on http://github.com/ultimaker/cura/issues so it gets fixed

15.06.03 on Windows still tries to write to the Cura folder in Program Files when it crashes, instead of showing the Crash Handler. https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/issues/170

Judging from both the new forum and the new Cura, I'm guessing it will be something disruptive which we will hate on initially but grow to like eventually because it will get better.

Should we not be using New Cura with the Ultimaker Original? How so?

Note that neither of my failed PTFE insulators were this burned/discolored when I replaced them, but I could really feel a cavity/bulge around the red-circled area.

Teflon is Dupont-branded PTFE.

It could very well be a deformed PTFE coupler. I had to replace mine twice in two years sofar (UMO, lots of metalfill prints). On a deformed coupler, the hole is no longer cylindrical, but theres a (slightly) widened cavity near the bottom. If you run a screwdriver through it (once it is out of the machine), you can feel it "catch". I wish UM sold these couplers much more cheaply and in 10-packs, so I would be set for a while.

It looks like this functionality will return in the form of a plugin in one of the next releases of Cura. I think you can manually add the plugin in your current version: https://github.com/nallath/PrintCostCalculator

I must say I like the clean look of having no checkerboard. I may have to tinker with the shader for the buildplate...

By that logic, perhaps we should use github for all our discussions... Badumtisch! (I'll show myself out...)

The small gap is only temporary; you are supposed to close the gap by screwing the long screws tight a couple of steps later, after pushing in the bowden tube. This whole arrangement is so there some compression tension on the bowden-tube, pressing it against the white PTFE insulator.

A chamfer is your best bet at creating a sturdier connection between the base and the prong. Sloping walls are thicker in the horizontal plane than vertical walls, so you get more contact surface between the horizontal and vertical wall if there is a chamfer of about a mm or 2).

It seems that top_delay is only added when the (non-default) Knot strategy is chosen. I don't know if this is intended. If it is, it should be documented. Update: it is intended: https://github.com/Ultimaker/CuraEngine/issues/224#issuecomment-124009592

With my UMO with HBK, I have to set the Wire Print Flow to something like 200-300% to get any print at all when I have the Wire Printint option enabled. It looks like my prints could do with a pause after "laying" the vertical lines, but Wire Printing Top Delay setting does not seem to change the generated gcode at all, no matter what I set it to. Edit: Weirdest noises I've ever heard my printer make...

Hey, this is weird... I still get the "Errors in Cura.exe" error, instead of a new Crash handler. Perhaps there was some remnant of the 02 preview? I'll uninstall and try again. Update: nope... Uninstalled 15.06.02, uninstalled 15.06.01 (just to be sure), made sure there was no 15.06.02 folder left in Program Files, redownloaded todays 15.06.02 and installed it. After playing around in layer view, I still get the "Errors in Cura.exe" dialog instead of the Crash handler.

@gr5: It looks like it is at least packaged in the installer.

One of the "interesting" things to figure out with a multicolumn layout is how it handles collapsing sections, and dynamically adding/removing options as they are enabled/disabled in the Machine Settings.

Well, don't become one then. Isn't that what I did? https://ultimaker.com/en/community/view/16718-new-cura-theme-fixes I think I was being constructive. I have not seen much whining in this thread.

My suggestion would be showing the name in the title bar (where it already is), and the logo in the splash screen and an "About..." window (where it already is). If you really want to feature the logo more prominently, what you could do is put it on screen until a model is loaded. A bit like Firefox opening to a Firefox-branded version of Google. Another suggestion (which I may regret having mentioned later) is putting it on the printer bed grid (in perspective, ie worked into the grid.frag shader). But please do it subtly, in the same greytones as the current grid)...

Neato!
