Netfabb repair is built into Prusa Slicer, and it is very powerful. Occasionally it messes up the model, but usually corrects it beautifully. Install and run Prusa Slicer (not slic3r). Load up your messed-up model. On the right of the screen there is a list of objects on the bed. A faulty object will have a little yellow triangle before it's name. Left click on the triangle, and netfabb will also do its stuff. You can get the same result another way - right click the model, and chose repair in Netfabb from the list. If you don't want to print using this ssoftware, although it *is* very good, you can right click the model and cchose "export model as stl from the list. Use that fixed model iI your preferred slicing tool. You don't even have to be online for this to work.

I installed Cura on an old laptop running Debian. (I do that with a number of grotty machines, really livens them up) It runs flawlessly, and is behaving impeccably. It's Also miles quicker to slice than it was when it ran on a far more powerful machine running Win 10, Not an ideal outcome, but one I can work with.

I am regretfully thinking of giving up on Cura on Windows, and installing it on a Linux machine. Maybe that'll give me access to its glories!! Pad

An update. (not a good one, but an update!) I uninstalled Fusion 360, only to find no change at all in my knackered access to Cura. So maybe it was the recent batch of Win 10 updates? As it loads, it gets almost to the point where i would have control and access to its file menu etc., but then the screen goes black completely for a second, and then it gives the white screen with "Cura" on a blue bar on top with (Not responding) beside it. If anyone has solved this, or has any ideas how I might get Cura back, I really would be grateful. Thanks in anticipation Pad

Greetings to all. I have been increasing my use of Cura 4.7 over the past months, and liking it. Recently I added 4 more gig of RAM to my laptop (HP Laptop 15-db0xxx) to give me 8gig. Cura 4.7 and my other software worked miles faster and I thought myself to be on the up and up. There have been 2 windows updates in the last week, and I also installed Fusion 360. Since Tuesday, I have been unable to use Cura at all, as it just gives me a white screen (with the Cura logo at the top of the window) and fails to respond. I tried reboot (a must-do with Windows!) found there was no change, and then uninstalled it, installing Cura 4.8 just in case that worked better. As C4.8 started, I got the usual blue flash telling me what was loading, and then a brief view of the normal work area, before it also was replaced with a blank white page that was unresponsive. I cannot get to any cura menus to check things, and don't know how to proceed. Should I uninstall Fusion360? I dug out the log file from the Cura 4.8 folder under used\appdata\Roaming\cura\4.8 and attach it below, in case that is useful. There are two other log files under Cura, stderr and stdout. I assume err is about errors, so I attach it also. Stdout is empty. If there is any advice you can give me, I would be most grateful. I use Prusa slicer and Blender most of the time, and they are both working fine, along with my other apps. Many thanks Pad cura.log stderr.log
