    Try running Cura as administrator. These days Windows (by default, anyways) requires elevated permissions to do almost anything with folders in Program Files and Program Files (x86), excluding the application's own folder.

    Hi @melzein,

     

    This looks all right, did you change to a newer version of Cura recently?

     

    Maybe this tread give you some help in this.

     

     

    Thanks

    I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble.  For some reason, getting this plugin to talk to OpenSCAD has been a huge challenge that I haven't been able to fix yet.

     

    Would you be able to post your cura.log file?  That may help to figure out the problem.

    Just another example of universal law #15: the best way to fix a problem is by asking for help with it.
