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.

- Improved Wall Ordering
- Decrease in floating support pieces
