@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+.

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).

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
