*DONT DOWNLOAD THIS VERSION IF YOU WANT TO USE ANY SUPPORTS EXCEPT TREE SUPPORTS!!!*
ive just been using tree support lately. but i just checked this and even after clearing the two errors it fails to slice the model with standard supports on. luckily i have had more luck with tree supports lately, and havnt been using standard supports. gonna have to keep 4.0 on hand though.... i mean it seams kind of basic to screw up what works right? one step forward, two steps back cura. and with total lack of any documentation, it shows you how well they prepared. look forward to my review of prusa slicer, coming soon thanks to this mess... :)
in this video i go over whats new in the new cura 4.2! ill show you the new features, including othographic views, Smart z seam hiding, and the now included creawesome mod! if your curious about cura 4.2, or you want to know if cura 4.2 is any good, take a look with me at some of the new features!

All right, everybody.
Sorry for the background noise.
My printer is running, but I just wanted to show you in the new
supposedly stable version of Kira 4.2.
Let's go and see what's new.
There is a special setting in here for Smart Z-Seam, a new option
to increase the aesthetic quality by hiding the Z-Seam.
It'll hide it at the least visible place or if possible inside the model.
So we're going to go ahead and show you how to turn on this setting today
so you can get some seamless models.
And in order to do that, you need to go into the shell.
You need to click on the settings and you need to scroll down
or you can type it in here.
It's not a big deal
until you get to this tick right here.
So go ahead.
If you don't want to search for it and type in seam corner preference.
OK, this is going to allow you
to choose where to hide the seam.
OK, so I close that because I have it ticked
and I go down here to where it says seam corner preference.
And I can click a couple of different options.
Now, if I hover over this, it'll tell you what they do.
It says exposed seam makes the seam more likely to occur on an outside corner.
Hide or expose makes the seam more likely to occur at an inside corner.
Smart hiding allows both inside and outside corners.
Hiding the seam makes the seam more likely to occur on an inside corner.
So what we're going to do is go ahead and do hide seam.
So I have my Z seam alignment set to user specified.
I'm going to leave it at user specified.
And basically, yeah, that's how you hide the seam
in one of your prints with the new Kiro 4.2.
So this is a new update.
It's one thing that they just added in.
Let's go ahead and look at some of the other stuff that's new.
I also wanted to point out that they now have the Kriosome mod in here.
So when you go to install this for the first time or even to add a printer,
you can add the Ender 3 directly
using the Kriosome mod.
So that's perfect.
You don't need to do any updating or anything else.
So quite a few bug fixes.
I'll let you read through those on your own.
But there is also a layer view linear line type.
So they've kind of changed the color scheme there.
They've made AMF files compatible and they also added an orthographic view.
Now, this is going to be similar to your CAD views
that lets you view it from directly to the left or to the right.
And I believe those buttons are down here.
So there I can cycle through my work orthographic views.
Go back to my perspective.
Let's go ahead and throw a model in there.
I'm in the middle of printing a chess set, so we'll just throw this in there.
And I've been reducing it because it's rather large.
But basically, let's check it out.
There's the orthographic front ortho top.
OK. And it does all sides.
So that's actually pretty sweet.
The other thing that's awesome about this is now when I click the slice button,
it's going to say something to let me know that it's slicing
instead of just making me madly click it 15 times thinking it didn't work.
So there it goes. It says processing now.
So and then it jumps over and starts slicing.
So a couple of cool updates.
Things seem to be running smoothly and my prints are coming out pretty nice, guys.
It's not quite done yet.
And I want to get this video up to show everybody where that hides the scene
feature is.
But as of right now, yeah, things are going pretty good.
So definitely give it a shot. Check it out.
You can always downgrade if you don't like it.
But I'm liking some of the new features and I've just gotten into exploring them.
So.
