Hello Torgeir, my opionion is that the grahic card used, causes the problems. I showed the problem to some friends of mine. They say that i could be a programming issue with the python script, or maybe not all graphic chips are supported. Mybe one of the next verions of cura will solve the problem. I've tried Cura 2.3.1, but still the same. Thanks for your reply. Cheers Thomas

Hello Dahai8, thank you for your reply. Your suggestion with disconnecting the printer didn't solve the problem. My opinion is that the grafic card is to old. It's an Mobile Intel® 4 Series Express Chipset Family Card. Processor is an INTEL centrino 2 Duo with an SSD and 4GB. Maybe the laptop is to weak for this program. On my girlfriends desktop which is one of the latest, everything runs smoothly. Cheers

Hello, still nobody any idea? Thanks

Hello, when i start cura2.3, it shows up the main window and it wants me to choose a printer. After that it crashes. Here the log, maybe, somebody might be able to help me.

Hello, i first heart about the extended version...might be a challenge. What is the max length? My machine is able to cut 495X530mm

Hallo, I been reading your posts about cutting the frame. I do have a cnc machine and been thinking of cutting myself a frame out of alubond and acrylic plastics. Cheers
