Posted · Cura 2.3.0 splash screen then nothing else

Well this is annoying, the beta ran alright. While loading some large parts this evening, Cura sat on "preparing to slice" for a long time, never doing anything.

I downloaded the Windows 64-bit version and installed that. Allowed it to uninstall the beta and then install.

At the end of the installation and option to run Cura, nothing happened.

I tried the install again. No splash screen. Even checked the task manager...no where to be found

Cleared temp files (CCleaner), reboot....install again.

Now when I launch Cura I get the splash screen but nothing else.

Windows 10 (latest build) 64 bit. Help

From beta to final it was problematic to have temp files of previous versions. Maybe it needs a full Cura cleaning but I don't use windows (thank god :D )

Maybe there's config file making your cura banana.

    CCLeaner cleans up temp file and so on (seriously good program, Google it)

    Well I expected better than "Thank God I run a Mac" from support. My goodness.

    I think you are better off removing all the files yourself.

    Text comes across dry...my response was [intended] to be humorous too.

    So remove the folder under Program files and try again? Will do.

    Holy we need more emojis

    I think that if cura works like on mac it might do temp files on other folders.

    Well, as detailed elsewhere, I have the exact same problem on my work computer.

    That's running Windows 7 64-bit

    Un-installed 2.3.0

    Deleted the Program Files \ Cura 2.3.0

    Re-installed.

    At end of install, selected "Run after install" Nothing happened.

    Launched Cura 2.3.0 from Start - All Programs - Cura 2.3.0

    Splash screen loads, starts load up steps...then vanishes

    What should I try next?

    Maybe a full search for cura word on the hard disk. Maybe the beta left some files that are causing conflict?

    Have you tried renaming c:\users\[your name]\appdata\local\cura to cura.bak?

    I'll check from home

    Unable to find that on the work PC (could be permissions on the work computer)

    Sorry, it is "AppData" instead of "Application Data". You may have to type in the path, because the "AppData" folder is hidden by default.

    That worked....renamed the folder and installed it again

    :)

    Good...that was the folder I meant above when I just wrote "cura user folder" :p

    Glad to hear you are back on track again :)

    renamed the folder and installed it again

     

    Installing again was not necessary. Could you zip up the renamed folder and post it somewhere so that we can figure out what is happening?

    Correct, on my work PC I just renamed the folder and now it is working.

    @ahoeben , message me your email and I will send the zipped folder to you

    @Nallath emailed back with some good information

    I also placed your suggestion as the Best Answer, in case others run into a similar issue

    Uh, LePaul also tested 1.99, which also left some profiles behind. Those profiles never got a proper upgrade plugin, but the 2.1 to 2.3 upgrader did try and upgrade them, which led to horrible results (profiles with type machine_instance_profile).

      • UltiMaker Cura 5.3 stable released
        In this stable release, Cura 5.3 achieves yet another huge leap forward in 3D printing thanks to material interlocking! As well as introducing an expanded recommended print settings menu and lots of print quality improvements. Not to mention, a whole bunch of new printer profiles for non-UltiMaker printers!

      • Here it is. The new UltiMaker S7
        The UltiMaker S7 is built on the success of the UltiMaker S5 and its design decisions were heavily based on feedback from customers.
         
         
        So what’s new?
        The obvious change is the S7’s height. It now includes an integrated Air Manager. This filters the exhaust air of every print and also improves build temperature stability. To further enclose the build chamber the S7 only has one magnetically latched door.
         
        The build stack has also been completely redesigned. A PEI-coated flexible steel build plate makes a big difference to productivity. Not only do you not need tools to pop a printed part off. But we also don’t recommend using or adhesion structures for UltiMaker materials (except PC, because...it’s PC). Along with that, 4 pins and 25 magnets make it easy to replace the flex plate perfectly – even with one hand.
         
        The re-engineered print head has an inductive sensor which reduces noise when probing the build plate. This effectively makes it much harder to not achieve a perfect first layer, improving overall print success. We also reversed the front fan direction (fewer plastic hairs, less maintenance), made the print core door magnets stronger, and add a sensor that helps avoid flooding.
         

         
        The UltiMaker S7 also includes quality of life improvements:
        Reliable bed tilt compensation (no more thumbscrews) 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi A 1080p camera (mounted higher for a better view) Compatibility with 280+ Marketplace materials Compatibility with S5 project files (no reslicing needed) And a whole lot more  
        Curious to see the S7 in action?
        We’re hosting a free tech demo on February 7.
        It will be live and you can ask any questions to our CTO, Miguel Calvo.

      • UltiMaker Cura Alpha 🎄 Tree Support Spotlight 🎄
        Are you a fan of tree support, but dislike the removal process and the amount of filament it uses? Then we would like to invite you to try this special release of UltiMaker Cura. Brought to you by our special community contributor @thomasrahm
         
        We generated a special version of Cura 5.2 called 5.3.0 Alpha + Xmas. The only changes we introduced compared to UltiMaker Cura 5.2.1 are those which are needed for the new supports. So keep in mind, this is not a sneak peek for Cura 5.3 (there are some really cool new features coming up) but a spotlight release highlighting this new version of tree supports.
