Cura finally uploaded what they call a "hot fix" for Cura 4.2, and it is now called cura 4.2.1. this is to fix the problem of slicing while support is on, and everything is working well now. all problems aside, Cura is a fantastic slicer, and while the recent FAIL with 4.2 drove me to try some other slicers, (some of which i REALLY enjoy) its hard to beat cura for ease of use. Although Prusa Slicer is very close, and welcoming to beginner's... firing Cura back up seems just like coming home.

Alright, so while I did very much enjoy my time with the PrusaSlicer and I will be using it more
frequently in the future, Kira did pretty quickly come up with a hot fix. Now this is Kira 4.2.1
and as you can see, throw supports on and we'll go everywhere and hit slice. It does that little
thing where it says processing so I don't have to click a million times and it starts to slice.
So it is slicing. It will give me supports in my structure now. Everything seems to be
working properly and as I said it does have that Creawesome mod built in already. The setup here
is pretty straightforward. What you're going to do is you're going to get rid of your old profile
information because you don't need it. I definitely recommend backing it up,
saving it to somewhere else. Kira will ask you if you want to delete it. You can go ahead and delete
from the Kira folder and then what you're going to do is select, for the Ender 3 at least, the
Creality 3D and then the Ender 3 itself. Other than that, I haven't touched any of these settings.
I haven't printed any models with support yet but it did slice. It does look pretty nice.
I think this will work. I'm pretty happy with that. It's nice to see Kira fixing things quickly.
It's disappointing that they put out a version with such a horrible bug in it but they did take
care of it literally the day after they released it. They were quick to respond and everything is
back up and working and looking nice. You can see you still have those handy orthographic views.
The Creawesome mod is already installed and running when you have your Ender 3 setup here.
Looking pretty nice and it's a good version of Kira. It's less buggy than 4.1 although it's
still only been out for about a week so there might be more hidden bugs deeper in the settings
but for the most part it's very usable, very user-friendly and I do like where they're going
with it. I wish that for the Creawesome mod, when you pick the Ender 3, it did put that awesome
graphic of the printer around the build space just because that gives you a little bit more depth
and a little bit better idea of scale just by eyeballing it. Another good Kira from Kira. I'm
definitely liking it. I'm going to play around with it some more. I'll let you know if I find
any more bugs but that doesn't mean I'm going to be getting rid of ParusaSlicer either. I really
wish that these guys would get some... I really wish they'd steal some infill from ParusaSlicer
because I really liked the honeycomb and there were a couple of other infills that were really,
really nice in the ParusaSlicer. Now I've heard that you'd have bridging and support problems
in ParusaSlicer. I haven't really had any issues but I haven't tried to print any difficult bridges
with it yet either. So maybe I think we'll do a bridging test on the same model, same layer
height, same filament. We'll do a Kira slice versus a ParusaSlicer slice and see what's going on. But
we'll do that video sometime next week. It's the weekend. I'm just recording this because
I do want to give Kira props for updating their problems really quickly and let everybody know
that this is a decent version for download. Thanks for watching guys. Don't forget to hit
that like button down below. Hit the subscribe button. Ring the bell so you can get notifications
when we release new videos. We are in the upcoming week, like I said, we're probably
going to do that bridging test and I think we're going to be reviewing the new version
of Blender that I've been playing around with a lot and it is gorgeous. So stay tuned!
