Odd Behavior with Cura 2.5.0 Layers Slider

Posted in Odd Behavior with Cura 2.5.0 Layers Slider

When I load up an .STL file and have Cura slice the object, I get an odd behavior with the layers slider when I'm in the Layers View Mode. Using the top slider makes all the layers disappear and all I get is the transparent view of the model. Using the bottom slider and sliding it upwards creates the desired effect until you get to a certain point and then it skips to a lower section of the layers. I've included a link to an Imgur album here so you can see what I'm talking about.

I'm running Cura 2.5.0, on a Linux distro (Arch Linux), using Gnome 3.2 for the desktop environment. I have a Radeon R480X so I don't think it's a matter of having enough hardware to render the layers.

Has anyone encountered this problem?

Weird. Do the logs say anything interesting?

 

There doesn't appear to be although this entry:

 

2017-05-23 06:56:29,830 - ERROR - UM.PluginRegistry.loadPlugin [91]: Plugin VersionUpgrade24to25 did not return any objects to register

 

might be relevant. The rest of the 'ERROR' entries I get in the log appears to be connected to 3MFReader, Savitar, and UM3NetworkPrinting.

Here are the entries in the log labeled ERROR:

Here's a link to the complete log if you or anyone else wants to take a look at it: Pastebin.

Also, I started my Windows 10 partition and installed Cura 2.5. Everything works there. Thinking that this might be isolated to just Arch Linux, I installed it on my notebook with a Intel HD Graphics 3000 and I could step through individual layers (although not ranges of layers). This seemed to put it in some kind of "compatibility mode".

Those errors aren't very - let's say - charming that they occur in that way, but they do not influence layerview. The first error is because of a workaround, and just means that one of the upgrade plugins is skipped. The other errors are because some python modules are missing: libSavitar and python-zeroconf.

Hi there,

Just downloaded Cura 2.6 Beta and the problem is gone. I installed 'appimage-git' from the AUR and ran './Cura-2.6.0-BETA.AppImage'. So whatever got changed with the layer view in 2.6, fixed this too. Hopefully the changes remain and are fixed in the 2.6 stable release.

hm, I think a newer Version of Cura does NOT fix the problem...

look at this thread (scroll down): --->

https://ultimaker.com/en/community/39281-cura-not-using-user-set-machine-print-head-size?page=1&amp%3Bsort=#reply-183614

(my PC is an old one, Win7 / dual Core)

@ phamtq :

What about this 'appimage-git' ? how does it work?

regards,

Vinci

      The goal of this contest is to design a set of people figurines that could be used in such a project to make an area, office or mall seem populated. 
      Think of different types of people in different environments, like walking people, people standing still, working people, and both men and women.

      Taking advantage of DfAM

      SteveCox3D posted a topic in Engineering,

      This is a statement that’s often made about AM/3DP. I'll focus on the way DfAM can take advantage of some of the unique capabilities that AM and 3DP have to offer. I personally think that the use of AM/3DP for light-weighting is one of it’s most exciting possibilities and one that could play a key part in the sustainability of design and manufacturing in the future.
