Duplicate Printer Presets to a NEW Preset so that you can make test changes and still retain the old Presets

Cura won't provide support for Resin printers.

Hello. I am an ordinary user from Russia, and I have a 3D printer from the Russian manufacturer "Vector". I have been using your Ultimaker Cura software for a long time. I really like her. I have two 3D printer profiles. These are Vector 200 and Vector A4. If you add them to your database, then I think that many users from Russia will be very happy about this. I also think that even more users of your program will be added. I can send you these files, but I don't know where. Everything is up to you. Thank you.

Cura software, version 5.0.0-beta+1, gets quarantined by my McAffee anti-virus software.  I just noticed this when the executable mysteriously disappeared.  I restored it; but, it keeps getting quarantined again later.

 

I thought this was something folks should know about.  I also would like to know if someone has a solution to this problem.

Also Cura 5.0.0-beta+1 does not let one copy/paste from/to the manage printer Start G-Code and End G-Code areas.

Not even with Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V?

As described in an answer, i have problems with saving slicing-results to my harddisk.

I use Cura 5.0 as an apimage on an Arch-Linux, using the Mate-Desktop-Environment. 

I am using the german language-setting.

The filename-text is empty when using "Auf Festplatte speichern". You can click on this filename and press a key, it is placed inside the filename-text, but the next keypress is located in to the cearch-field.

Typing more characters is possible by deleting the search-text and pressing again with the mouse into the filename-field and pressing a key.

Using too much charachters inside search-field lead to an unuseable cura that has to be stopped the hard way.

 

Edit: When using a file thats already on the harddisk, the software asks two times if this file should be overwritten. Have changed language to english, but the problems remain.

 

Hope that helps, can't wait to use the software without the need to click and type and renaming files after saving...

 

Thanks

Hartmut

 

Edit2: this thing seems to be a problem of a used Filehandling-Routine. It happens when trying to save a image in Brave-Browser, too. Any hints what to do to get this working?

Cura 5.1 Linux

My computer is running Linux Mint 20.3, if it matters.

Printer extrudes too fast on rounded corners while the printhead is moving very slow.  It is trying to extrude so fast that the extruder just strips the filment.

 

Strangely, I got it to print properly once, but can't get it to work again.  I'm getting failed print after failed print.

I've tried both 5.2 and 5.2.1, and it simply will not launch.  Running Mac OS 10.15.7.  Last stable build is Cura 5.1.

I've read this topic, but there isn't even a 5.2 folder appearing.

The problem was something in the custom g-code text.

Hi all I’ve been using v5 for a few weeks and am impressed 

one problem I have come across is this. I drew a phone case with a cut out on the back of Iron Maiden 

I printed it and it printed a solid case,even the camera hole was solid

so I thought I would do a simple test , drew a 50 x50 x2 square and put a 40 mm hole in it , again came out solid

Today I put an object in the slicer the part has 3 holes in the top layer 10 mm deep, I can see the holes . I slice it 

and they disappear just a solid top

Anyone else experienced this

Thanks Dean
