Wonder if anyone can offer some advice. I've got Cura 5.3.0 running on an old machine that I need to replace, so I've picked up a laptop Windows 10 Pro 22H2, i5 8500T, 16GB RAM and trying to get Cura installed and running. Whenever I launch Cura on the laptop, it takes me through the User Agreement and crashes when trying to add a printer as I try to scroll through the list - log file shows: 023-04-05 14:02:47,198 - DEBUG - [MainThread] UM.View.GL.ShaderProgram.load [61]: Loading [C:\Program Files\UltiMaker Cura 5.3.0\share\cura\resources\shaders\xray.shader]... 2023-04-05 14:02:52,991 - INFO - [MainThread] cura.CuraApplication.writeToLog [619]: User accepted the User-Agreement. 2023-04-05 14:03:04,074 - WARNING - [MainThread] UM.Qt.QtApplication.__onQmlWarning [444]: file:///C:/Program Files/UltiMaker Cura 5.3.0/share/cura/resources/qml/WelcomePages/AddLocalPrinterScrollView.qml:237:25: Unable to assign QString to QRegularExpression Windows is fully patched and up to date, as are the device drivers. I've uninstalled, rebooted and reinstalled but the issue persists at the same point in the printer selection process. Any suggestions how to resolve this? Thanks in advance! cura.log

Can anyone give me some pointers on this as I'm a noob and trying to play catch-up. About 50% of the jobs I print fail as the print will sometimes start OK, and then 'offset' by anything from 1-2mm up to 15mm - I've attached an image of an example this morning. Clearly, being offset from the brim is a bit of a pain but not disastrous but when it happens towards the end of a job, it makes me want to throw the whole thing out of the window... I've had issues where belts weren't tight enough and seeing the effect of the belt 'missing a tooth' on the cog, but I get the impression this behaviour is something else. I'm using Cura 3.2.1 and the printer is an AM8 derivative. Any advice and pointers to get this fixed would be gratefully received. Thanks in advance! Martin
