A Nightly Build with 💥 Slicing Crash Analysis Tool 💥
We are seeing a significant increase in the amount of slicing crashes that are reported since Cura 5.x and are taking steps to analyze the crashes more systematically.
This version of Cura has an updated slicing engine that will send a report to our Sentry tool when you encounter a slicing crash. Sentry will cluster the reports coming in, and point to where in the code the crash is likely coming from, so the Cura team can start working on resolving the biggest slicing crashes first.
This version has not passed any of our regular quality checks and we cannot guarantee it's reliability because it is still unfinished even though it may still be quite usable. For example, we are still working on fixing a crash when you open the printers settings or you might need to confirm that you trust the UltiMaker software. Before you upgrade to an upcoming 5.7 Beta or Stable, please delete this version including the configuration folder to prevent unwanted upgrading errors.
💡 Changes
Since this build is a work in progress, you can already benefit from fixes that are planned for the upcoming Cura release like:
- Faster slicing times for models with a lot of holes
- Improved Wall Ordering
- Decrease in floating support pieces
- A fix for a handful of crashes related to Tree Suppport
- A fix where extruder_nr template variables weren't added in start/end machine/extruder gcode
⚠️ Please Note
Before reporting bugs on this build, please double-check if the issue is also present on the latest Stable Cura version. Right now that is Cura 5.6.0. This Nightly Build looks differently on purpose so we can spot reports done with these builds.
