 It is also helpful to attach a project (.3mf or .curaproject) file and Cura log file so we can debug issues quicker.
 Information about how to find the log file can be found at https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/wiki/Cura-Preferences-and-Settings-Locations. To upload a project, we recommend http://wetransfer.com, but other file hosts like Google Drive or Dropbox work well too.
