It still bombs out at the same point - changing the color for my Aqua Blue Glow filament to a light blue color. No idea why. Other filaments can accept that color. Very weird.

And yes, I have a bug filed on this since 2.6.

I download Cura 3.2 and my Avast did not like it but I told it to except it, added it to the exceptions list of Avast.

The First print I tried was a Pop Bottle Bird Feeder using the Tree Support. It starting looking strange so I stopped it to learn more about the setup.

It started printing what looks like a upside down tree branches on the hotbed trunks in the air. Trunks stopped at the Base where the Birds stand around the perch ring.

Layer33

Any way I am a little confused. I thought the Tree would work from the base to the Supported area branches on top.
So I will relook at my settings to see where the tree got inverted. And see why it is trying to support air.

I ran a repair on the Bird feeder STL with no luck, Tree support still upside down.

STL file was so large placed it in google Drive here is link

@LePaul How do I report errors to Cura 3.2.Beta.

I Can "connected to OctoPrint on red-octopi.ect..." and set temperatures thou can not send sliced model to OctoPrint.
I have a Pi Zero every thing works with Cura 3.1.0 of course I am testing tree in Cura 3.2 and find this.
Will upload sliced model directly from desktop to octoprint bypassing Cura 3.2.

On the Ultimaker forums. But @nallath works there and is in the dev team. So it’s convenient to mention things to him too

I printed the 2nd Model using the support Tree. And discovered the the trunks are big cypress trees and the branches are very tiny.
In fact some did not reach the surface area they were suppose to support, learning the support Tree will be an interesting learning experience.

As with 3.1, it doesn't transfer all of my settings. Really do not want to have to reconfigure my printers each time I upgrade. There is nothing to change.

I'll have to deep dive into my configs to figure out why it only transfers 1 printer (little-hicci) and still fails to change the color of one filament entry (I can change the rest to the same color, so it is some sort of config corruption).

Could you post the logs? I'm not directly on the Cura team anymore, but i might be able to see some obvious issue that I can fix in no-time.

As for the tree support, i know very little about it. I had almost nothing to do with the development of that feature.

The tree function is not the issue it is just a learning curve.
The 3D Printer connection with Cura 3.2 I can see the temperature change and control the steppers just can not send a model to octoprint.

Today I will try to re-install Cura 3.2 see if it missed some files.

I definitely want Cura 3.2 features.
Testing can still be done but not with my current configuration thru a direct connection from Cura 3.2 Beta to Octoprint.
Will slice the model save g-code to PC then upload to OcotPrint and print or simple save to 3D Printer SD Card.

OctoPrintPlugin.curaplugin

I was trying to install Cura 3.2 as wanted to play with the new Tree Support, Well the Tree support looks promising though it will have a learning curve to get familiar with.

I am having trouble with making OctoPrint Cura's pluggin to work. It will allow me to control the 3D printer Home commands, and it will allow me to see the Printer on OctoPrint web cam ect...
What it will not allow me to do is to complete the G-Code send, Watch the video when you click on the large Blue "Print With OcotPrint" button. It appears to send the data. but does not complete the action.

The only other item that does not works is, cannot setup two OctoPrint to print in a single instance of Cura 3.2 Beta.
If I try to save an API code to the Second Printer will over write the first.

Attached Video of test.
