Cura 4.6.1 - Profile settings aren't being saved. Lost on restart.

Posted (edited) · Cura 4.6.1 - Profile settings aren't being saved. Lost on restart.

When I make a change to my custom profile I expect it to be saved. But if I close Cura and reopen, though the same profile is selected, many of the settings are reset to the default values. If I make a change to the profile, then switch the profile to a different one and then change it back to my custom profile, the settings are populated as I would expect them to be. It's specifically when opening Cura that this happens. This is on PC, not sure if Macs are affected as well.

 

I noticed that if I look in the Profile Manager, the settings that I have changed aren't actually present there. That could mean the changes are not actually being saved to the profile, but are kept in memory, which would explain why I can switch between profiles with no problem, but restarting Cura loses the changes.

I've attached the export of my custom profile.

    Small update.

     

    I tried this one a Mac and the exact same thing is happening. The profile that I saved in Cura 3.3.1 can be loaded into 4.6.1 just fine, and the settings appear as expected, but any changes made to those settings are not saved when updating the profile. In fact, nothing appears in the profile under the profile Extruder tab.

    No, but a reinstallation of Cura should do the trick.

      • 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.
