Posted · Cura 3.3.1 on Mac - unable to open project file

Hi, I am using Cura 3.3.1 on a Mac and overall it works very well and produces brilliant prints.    However, I am able to save a "project" file but then I am unable to open it.  Strange, the option to open a project simply does not appear in the menu and I can't open it as a "file".  Any ideas?

    You open projects with the same File -> Open... command you use for opening meshes.

     

    When you open a project, Cura asks if you want to open it as (a collection of) models, or as a project.

     

    Note there’s a preference in General preferences that may suppress the aforementioned question.

    Thank you.  I tried that and found  my project files were greyed-out in the list, implying they weren't in a supported format.  When I looked closely I found they had not been given the .3mf extension!  I have to manually put the .3mf extension at the end of the project files I save, then it works.

     

    At least I can save and open projects now so thank you.

      • 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.
