Logs or it didn't happen. I need your cura.log to diagnose this.

/wiseass

No, in the normal prepare view the red on top just means that the normals of the model are inside out. That is not (always) an error, though it can be indicative of more being wrong with the model.

No, but my answer might be. /w It will be especially useful if you tell us which one variable you had to change and then change back again.

What you are missing is that 12 is larger than 2. Cura 4.12 is a lot newer than Cura 4.2 (about 10 versions)

This is fixed in a firmware update for your S5 a while ago.

It could be that the model is not manifold (and confuses Cura), or it could be that you have eg the setting "Remove all holes" enabled. Save a project, post a link to it, and we can have a look.

Your GPU (Intel HD Graphics 4000) does not support features required for the full layer view functionality, so you get the limited "compatibility mode" whick does not have the horizontal slider.

Without logs, a project file, or exact reproduction steps, your report is at least as vague as that error message. Help us help you.

The fix will be included in Cura 4.13

I don't speak french, but there's a whole section of the forum that is dedicated to support in french here: https://community.ultimaker.com/forum/126-français/ Having said that, I think you are experiencing the issue that is discussed in this article: https://support.ultimaker.com/hc/en-us/articles/4402996140946-Ultimaker-Cura-crashes-when-opening-any-file

I think this happens because you have multiple displays with different "retina" scaling. You may want to try unchecking the "Restore window position on start" checkbox on the General pane of the preferences in Cura. Then restart Cura.

Go to Help -> Show configuration folder. Then quit Cura. Remove all the files from the configuration folder that opened, but leave the empty folder intact. Now restart Cura, and it will start with a "blank slate".

Yes, it needs to be 3.8.10. Go to https://www.python.org/downloads/macos/ Scroll down to Python 3.8.10 - May 3, 2021 Download macOS 64-bit Intel installer

AFAIK, Python for macOS knows only one Intel architecture. But it is important that you use version 3.8.10. Get the "Intel" installer, not the "Universal2" installer.

Do you have an M1 processor? If so, the files you copied may be for ARM processors, while the Python installation that comes with Cura is for Intel processors.

They are in mm. I thought that was obvious, since everything in Cura is in mm.

To answer the question: no, there isn't. The replacement patterns in the start/end gcode snippets are filled in before the model is sliced. The (exact) min/max values including skirts/brims/rafts and horizontal expansion is only known after slicing.

It is. It is being replaced entirely by a new implementation that I hope will perform better too. For now it seems to be resizable.

It could be that you are logged in as an Essentials user, and the Measuretool may not be "approved" for Cura Essentials users. Does the plugin show up in the Marketplace if you (temporarily) log out of your account? As a plugin author I am unable to tell (as far as I know) if a plugin is available for people who have paid for the privilege of being an "Essentials" user. This can be quite frustrating.

You can also just log out from your Ultimaker account in Cura when you want to install a plugin. There's a CAD importer plugin that is only available for Essentials users, but other than that I agree that the essentials package is essentially "less for more".

"Dynamic Quality" is the name of a profile for Creality printers. That profile may not be available for other printers. What printer do you have?

Cura comes with its own Python files. You can not "import" modules that you installed on your system, only modules that are in the Python environment that comes with Cura. If you just want to use this postprocessing script for your local install of Cura, it may be possible to add the appropriate files for the Matplotlib module to the libs folder inside the folder where you installed Cura. You will have to use the Matplotlib files for Python 3.8.10.

Fixed in Cura 4.12.1
