Cura 5.3.0 keeps failing to slice with Mac OS 13.3.1

[ChrisXross 0]

I'm having a lot of issues slicing models using my Mac, sometimes they won't slice at all other times they won't slice in one orientation.  I have reported this twice as a bug and sent the log file and the model but not had any feedback - I can slice them using my old windows 10 laptop - but it's a pain to keep porting them across.  Is anyone else having similar problems

Where have you sent the log files to?
Do you have any case number or issue numbers you can share with me?

Were you able to get this fixed? On my M2 Mac, Cura 5.4.0 the sliced output was missing all of the skin. The output was just internal triangle supports. I noticed a portion of Super Quality profile was empty, in the Top/Bottom section and I clicked an option to generate it and then it filled in the settings with 7 layers (top and bottom). After that, slicing was OK for most of the model but still missing skin in a region of the model. Maybe coincidence but it was a vertical portion.

I don't know if the app is getting messed with by Rosetta because it will ask if I want to reload the model because it was modified.

Thank you

Cura 5.4 has some pretty weird bugs that occasionally show up in slicing. Try using 5.3.1 instead.

Missing skin is a common problem with cura 5.4.  Try adjusting the "maximum resolution".  Check what you have it set to, move it to 0.5 or beyond.  If that fixes the issue, then it should be fixed in the next cura release.

Damnit I keep forgetting to suggest that when I suggest an earlier version.
