Here is my feedback; Why does Cura notify us that there is an update, but then takes us to THIS page when we click on the "Download" button for downloading an update, instead of taking us to a page where we can download the update? This is so frustrating. I don't want to read about the update. I want the app to update itself so I can get on with things.

I should add 2 things: 1. So far Cura doesn't do this with other parts. It is only freaking out with this project file. 2. If I save the .gcode file before preview and print it, it's printing fine on the printer. So the slicing was successful. What isn't successful is previewing that slicing.

Just got a CR10S Pro. Pulled in about 6 parts that I don't believe should be taxing the slicer. I'm using standard extrusion settings (.2mm layer thickness), and a 3D-Fuel Pro PLA filament profile that is the same as PLA except for the bed and extrusion temps. Seems to slice fine. I also added a brim with its standard settings. But when I go to preview, Cura either hangs, or it literally displays strange disorganized graphics on the machine that are reminiscent of a 1990's video card freeze / hangup. I am running the absolute latest Mac OS on the latest M-chip Mac Mini. Cura 4.8.0 seems to have an issue here. I will upload both the project file and a screenshot of the kind of thing I see when trying to preview. When I hit preview, a pop-up says "Processing Layers 99%", and there it stops and hangs. Sometimes it takes my entire computer down with it (computer nonresponsive). However, you should know that I access the Mac mini remotely, and it may be that Cura is taking out the remote desktop software, not the entire OS. I can't tell because I'm not using a keyboard attached to the Mac. Cura has always worked fine for me. I also have Cura on a 2012 Mac Mini running Catalina, so if this keeps happening I'll switch back to the old computer for a while. I have attached the Cura project file, saved just before I start slicing. I have attached the screenshot of what Cura does when I try to preview after slicing. Perpetual Machine.3mf
