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
  • $HOME/Library/Application Support/cura/<Cura version>/cura.log (OSX)
  • $HOME/.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. An alternative is to install the ExtensiveSupportLogging plugin this creates a zip folder of the relevant log files. If you're experiencing performance issues, we might ask you to connect the CPU profiler in this plugin and attach the collected data to your support ticket.
