Cura

This is the new, shiny frontend for Cura. Check daid/LegacyCura for the legacy Cura that everyone knows and loves/hates. We re-worked the whole GUI code at Ultimaker, because the old code started to become unmaintainable.

Logging Issues

For crashes and similar issues, please attach the following information:

• (On Windows) The log as produced by dxdiag (start -> run -> dxdiag -> save output)
• The Cura GUI log file, located at
  • %APPDATA%\cura\<Cura version>\cura.log (Windows), or usually C:\Users\\<your username>\AppData\Roaming\cura\<Cura version>\cura.log
  • $USER/Library/Application Support/cura/<Cura version>/cura.log (OSX)
  • $USER/.local/share/cura/<Cura version>/cura.log (Ubuntu/Linux)

If the Cura user interface still starts, you can also reach this directory from the application menu in Help -> Show settings folder

For additional support, you could also ask in the #cura channel on FreeNode IRC. For help with development, there is also the #cura-dev channel.
