Posted · Cura running very slow on my PC

HELP!!!  I am Running Windows 10 on an Intel Core i7-4790 @ 3.60GHz.  16 GB Ram, with NVIDIA Quadro K2200.  I have used Cura for the last several years and the last several updates have gotten progressively slower in actual functionality.  It can take half an hour to set up a simple print, where I used to be able to do it in a minute or two.  Cura spends a lot of time "Not Responding", thinking or ignoring requests.  Resizing and reorienting is a nightmare.  Changing any settings is next to impossible.  Cura is super fast on my MacBook Air, that actually has less Ram and a lower quality Graphics Card.  I have Deleted all old AppData, and tried reinstalling multiple times.   There have been no updates or changes to my machine that I know of  I can't recall the last time that Cura ran in a way that didn't waste my time, and this is a huge shame, because I absolutely hate using Simplify 3D.  Please Help Me.

        Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.

      • Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
