Possible BUG. didn't find similar topic to this.

New to Community.  That's strange in and of itself!  At 75 I'm NEW to something, (Anything!). 🙂

I recently set up a brand new "Kickin ___" Computer.

PROBLEM:  Instead of going through all of the upgrades of UltiMaker-Cura I went straight to Ver. 5.6.0 Win64 X64.

I had that on my old computer. Definitely Impressive!  The problem that stuck its head up was when I went to "Tweak" my Machine.

It would NOT go there! No way. NOT happening!   As shown in the 4 screen shots: New Only 1.jpg,  New Only 2.jpg, New Only (3).jpg,  & New Only (4).jpg.

I was also NOT able to add plugins. I love ArcWelder,  I don't Slice without it.

I was only able to configure my machine on the initial setup. Spent a couple days on that. Then, "MariMakes" here in the "Community" shared a screenshot which gave me a "BINGO"

moment.  After a few uninstalls and re installs it still was not totally solved.  I had to uninstall, then open windows administrative level and wipe out every hint that Ultimaker-Cura was ever there, then install version 5.4.0  then go through upgrades.

CONCLUSION: 5 Screenshots, Old to New 1, ___'2, ___(3), ___(4), and Last.

I tried to report this as a bug, but, that wouldn't help anyone else that might have the same problem.  I hope no one else does If they do... This is how I solve it for me.

 

Happy Trails All!    Well.... Happy Printing At Least.

 

Is there a way to share an "MP4" file here. I'd like to share a rather complex build.

Well I'm a LOT  younger (73) so maybe I'm mis-understanding.

When you first install a printer, you can't make any changes to the "Machine Settings" even though the dialog comes up.  I'm not sure why that is.  After you dismiss the dialogs then yes, you can go back through Manage Printers and make any changes.

Arc Welder is now included in Cura by default.  The setting is under "Special Modes" so you need to change to the "Custom" settings to access it.

Only if you can fit it in a zip file under the attachment limit 🙂. You're probably better off just uploading it to YouTube and setting the visibility to "unlisted".

About the only thing you should have to delete to remove any trace of Cura (that would affect other installations) is the configuration folder, as described in this support article.

OK. Thanks.
