Have you tried enabling the "Use a single instance of Cura" option in the General preferences of Cura?

When installing a new version of Cura, Cura makes a copy of the current configuration and updates that copy to work with the new version. So the previous version configuration will be left untouched. In previous versions of Cura for Windows, the installer would ask you if you wanted to remove all data from Cura. This would remove the old configuration so you would start with a blank slate. This removing of old data seems to have been removed from the installer.

I see, thanks for testing. These are exactly the type of issues why I have to create a new version of the plugin for each release of Cura. Probably best to log issues like this at https://github.com/fieldOfView/Cura-SidebarGUIPlugin/issues edit: fixed the issue here: https://github.com/fieldOfView/Cura-SidebarGUIPlugin/commit/48bad5e98812757ba47b6bec877912ed265a3feb

A prerelease version of the Sidebar GUI plugin for Cura 5.2 is available here: https://github.com/fieldOfView/Cura-SidebarGUIPlugin/releases/tag/v4.4.1-DEV

Or... press the "Slice" button. The "Slice Automatically" setting has been enabled by default for quite a while now. There's also a message to tell you the model needs to be sliced if there is no layer data, but it has an option to not show that message again, so you may have hidden it before.

You can not "edit" the materials that come with Cura. They are "read-only". You can "duplicate" those read-only materials, and edit the duplicates. This is the same for Ultimaker materials by the way.

OK.. what are we supposed to do with the image of the models? It would make it easier to help you if you could post a link to the STLs and/or post a small video of what is happening.

If it does not make sense, feel free to post a link to the whole cura.log (but please don't copy/paste the whole thing in a comment here; use the "Drag files here to attach" thing).

That means you have not "stored" the changes you made into a profile. So you have changes, but you have not saved them. By choosing to "keep" your changes when switching to another profile, these are carried over to that other profile. Either store the changes you made in the profile you made the changes to, or discard the changes,

Yes, Cura has an option for that. Search for the setting "Support Extruder".

Your cura.log should show why your profiles are not loading in Cura 5. Probably best to remove the log file, and then start Cura 5 (obviously with your profile files in place).

I think the issue is that the firmware on your printer needs to be updated.

You set the "Scaling Factor Shrinkage Compensation" to 60%. Set that back to 100%, and your issue will be fixed.

You are going to have to adjust the "settings_version" öf the files to match the settings version used by the version of Cura you are "dumping" the files into.

A curapackage is a zip file with a specific folder structure and some metadata files. There is no generic automated way to make a curapackage.

You would be making it much easier for people to help you if you shared a project file. Use File -> Save project..., and upload the file to something like google drive or dropbox so you can share a link to it. With that project file we get to see all your settings (in addition to the model).

No. You could amend your end gcode to move the extruder to the top, if it does not do that already. But generally Cura does not detect if a printer connected via USB is "idle". Printing via USB is "deprecated" in Cura. The functionality is no longer being developed by Ultimaker, because Ultimaker printers don't use printing over a USB cable. I recommend disabling the USB Printing support in Cura altogether and using OctoPrint (and my OctoPrint Connection plugin) instead. OctoPrint has much more functionality for printing via USB.

Then again, neither is the Ultimaker 2 (or 2+) firnware, so there is little to "maintain".

Het model is "non-manifold", ook wel "niet waterdicht" genoemd. Lees dit artiekel van de Settings Guide plugin eens: https://github.com/Ghostkeeper/SettingsGuide/blob/master/resources/articles/troubleshooting/missing_parts.md#non-manifold-meshes

I don't know if Solidworks has any mesh repair tools. I personally use 3d Builder (comes with Windows 10/11) or Mesh Mixer

That's not going to work; the curaengine binary in the appimage is compiled for 64bit x86, which the UM3 (and newer) linux boards don't support. If any version is going to work like this, it is going to be the smartavionics/burtoogle build for the raspberry pi. But I agree with Smithy that the linux board is probably too limited to do any reasonable sort of slicing on the board.

It looks like you are using Windows 7, which is no longer supported since Cura 5

De functie "Copy Scripts" is niet meer nodig tegenwoordig. De scripts kunnen worden gebruikt zonder ze eerst te kopieren; je kunt deze stap dus overslaan.

The Mesh Tools plugin adds a function to replace a model on the buildplate with a different file: https://github.com/fieldOfView/Cura-MeshTools/#replace-model
