@DivingDuck You are absolutly right, I have been tinkering with the settings yesterday and already getting a lot better results.
How do we setup for metal printing? I did the Academy course and it just mentions the applications more.

CURA just gets better and better. Now, the greatest improvement you could make (IMHO) is to improve start time for the program, which, sadly, is abysmal. On my i5 laptop, it takes over TWO MINUTES to load CURA to the point where the UI is displayed and ready to go. Surely the clever people at Ultimaker can improve on this.
Having said that, thanks for a great program.

On my 12 year old laptop it takes about 30 seconds, and on my 1 year old laptop it takes 11 seconds. Two minutes sounds...not right. How about if you nuke your config and plugins and everything, and then start it again? (You might want to shut it down and then start it again, just in case it has to do something extra the first time you start it.)

Hello. Can you please explain my problem wit hcura 5.1. The view, rotation and scaling of the model with the mouse does not work. Win 10 64 R5 5600 16gb RAM 1070. In 4.4 version all working correct.
Using an Ultimaker 2+ with standard settings for PLA Cura version 4.13 out performs version 5.1. Version 5 and 5.1 have been a big step backwards for me so I'm still using 4.13 at the moment. I have attached an example. The terrible print is 5.1.
I'm getting elephants feet, the lettering does not work on the print, probably the Z hop setting and on other print fill issues.
The material used here is Matt PLA, its quite grainy, but I am having the same issues with any PLA and Cura 5.1

Use the "File | Save Project" command and post the 3mf file here. I haven't seen that in my own prints.

I will when I get 5 mins, Are you using an Ultimaker 2+?

I have a lot of printers installed in Cura and one of them is a UM 2+. A project file will over-write the definition I have, but I don't actually own a 2+.

It looks like you are using Windows 7, which is no longer supported since Cura 5

The application name has changed from "Ultimaker Cura" to "Ultimaker-Cura" on Mac. So now the automatic integration with Fusion 360 is broken. Also new and old app will exist at the same time if we don't delete the old one manually.
It also crashed my computer, like the Windows user above experienced. I agree with other poster, it's an OS bug. But something is triggering it on both Windows and Mac.

Tronxy X5SA is not friendly with Ultimaker-Cura-5.1.0-win64.
Windows 11 PRO. I have had a printer for two years now and have been using Ultimaker-Cura all this time. Before Ultimaker-Cura5.0.0 everything was OK. Updated to version Ultimaker-Cura5.1.0 and there were problems. I already thought something happened to the printer. But no - Ultimaker-Cura5.1.0 is to blame. Problems: 1. In previous versions, at the start of printing, the table and the extruder started to heat up together, in Ultimaker-Cura5.1.0, the table heats up first, then the extruder starts to heat up. Time is running out! 2. And the most important problem is that in the Ultimaker-Cura5.1.0 version, after the end of printing, the print head does not park normally, it "runs" to the far right corner of the table until it stops!!! Returned to version 5.0.0. Here are the test print details gcode.

Both of those problems are in the StartUp and Ending gcode from the TronXY X5SA definition file. That definition file was submitted to Ultimaker by an outside source. So this isn't a Cura problem but rather a change in the definition file by someone.
It looks like it was done because the new definition has the G29 ABL command. The new StartUp Gcode waits for the bed leveling to complete before the hot end turns on. If it didn't the nozzle would be oozing filament across the build surface during leveling. Even though your 5.1 StartUp has the G29 command commented out, the other commands are configured as if it was working.
You can put it back the way it was. Go to Manage Printers and then Machine Settings. The StartUp and End gcodes are there. You can copy and paste the old startup and ending codes from the previous version of Cura into Cura 5.1.
Here are the lines from the 4.12 StartUp Gcode. The Cura keywords are replaced by your setting values when the gcode is created.
M140 S{material_bed_temperature_layer_0}
M104 S{material_print_temperature_layer_0} T0
M190 S{material_bed_temperature_layer_0}
M109 S{material_print_temperature_layer_0} T0

Thanks for the answer. Of course, I apologize, but my information was a little inaccurate, since I write through google translate. I had to go back to version U. CURA4.13.1, because in versions 5.0.0 and 5.1.0, after the end of printing, the extruder goes to the parking lot in the far right corner of the table. Correctly, it should park in the left near corner of the table. Do not tell me what needs to be done, changed? Thank you!

To be fair, nothing a user-space program does should be able to bluescreen windows, and if that happens then it's a bug in windows. It sounds like you have either faulty hardware or buggy drivers (e.g., graphics card drivers).

i would also like to know what the difference is ? normal linux and modern linux version ? Pretty strange, or they wanted to write 64/32bit ?? ;-)

No inventor plug in? You can say smoother finish(update notes) but converting to STL is causing rounds to not be round not Cura when using Inventor native files a cylinder is round and not angled.
See attached pictures same Cura settings. the left one in the picture is loaded in Cura as IPT the right as STL.
Don't look at the top finish it was a fast print to test something
