Description

This improves the generic slicing failure message so users get a clearer hint when the failure may be related to supports and model placement (e.g. no room for supports after tight packing or Arrange All Models), as described in #21521.

Changes:

  • plugins/CuraEngineBackend/CuraEngineBackend.py — extended the _slicing_error_message user-visible text (same @message context; existing crash-report / issue-tracker wording kept).
  • resources/i18n/cura.pot — updated msgid for translators.

This improves user-facing diagnostics for a class of engine failures that previously only showed a generic "unexpected error" with no mention of supports or spacing.

Type of change

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • Printer definition file(s)
  • Translations

How Has This Been Tested?

  • Manual / logical review — verified the string is valid Python, wrapped in catalog.i18nc("@message", ...), and that cura.pot matches the new source msgid.
  • In-app slice failure path — recommend quickly triggering a known engine failure with supports enabled to confirm the message displays as expected.

Test Configuration:

  • Operating System: Windows (change if you verified in-app on another OS)
