  1. I've hit an issue with 5.0 but firstly, I just wanted to say the prints I've produced from Cura 5.0 so far have been amazing! No matter what I've done or tweaked in the past, I've never managed to achieve prints that look so clean and detailed with only slight personal tweaks to the default profiles (flow 90%, nozzle temp up to 210 because I've found that works better with eSun PLA+, minimum infill area set to 70mm because I've had problems with strength printing posts in the past on my Ender 3 V2). I also found adding a layer or two of top skin helped. Now I've hit an issue though. I decided to progress from smaller test prints to an actual print of a building piece from Iain Lovecraft's Treasure Island set, but about a day into the printing it just stopped with the nozzle still against the print. I tried again and, paying more attention this time, I could see the %age completion actually ticking down to that point. My usual workflow would be to print to Octoprint (Pi 4) direct from Cura, but with no current integration I am saving to disk and loading the Gcode to Octoprint through it's interface. I've loaded the gcode back into Cura 5.0 to check (as much as I can without delving into the gcode itself) that there's no truncation in the file and it seems to be complete. Because I wanted to compare before and after prints, I chose a piece that I had printed previously in Cura 4.x so I am fairly sure it isn't an STL issue. I appreciate that 5.0 is still in Beta and stuff is going to happen, but I thought I would flag this to see if it is an unknown thing because I absolutely cannot wait to switch to 5.0 and print solely from there!
