Posted · Cura hasn't worked since version 4.6.1 on Linux - cannot slice with non-zero top/bottom shell

Finally got around to reporting this :) I love Cura, but have had to use version 4.6.1 for a while.

 

In any version since 4.6.1, most recently 4.8.0, I'm unable to slice anything.

The input fields in Shell settings for Top/Bottom Thickness, Top Thickness and Bottom Thickness are always red, unless I set the values to 0.

Even calculated settings are invalid.

 

Debian GNU/Linux bullseye/sid, Linux 5.10.0-4-amd64, Xfce 4.16, xserver-xorg-core 2:1.20.10-3

 

This shows the issue as well:

    Welll, turns out the printer profile wasn't set up correctly, z was set to 0 instead of 300mm.

    I guess AppImages don't share settings between them.

    They do. But since there is an upgrade path, it could be that you changed something in the 4.7 config file (whcih then got upgraded to 4.8). So it would still work on 4.6 but not on the later versions.

        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.
