I have tried multiple times but I am unable to save any model file from cura to internal file system or sd card.

Are you getting any errors?

No errors and no message at all like when I save gcode or profile. Is there a log location I can look for more details?

Depends on your platform:

  • On Windows, the log is by default written to C:/Users/<user>/AppData/.cura somewhere.
  • On Linux, you can get logs by running Cura from a command line: python cura.py (You may have to browse the command line to the source directory.)
  • On OSX, read instructions here: https://github.com/daid/Cura/wiki/MacOS---Getting-a-proper-log

That helped and I figured out my issue. I don't know if this is a bug or as designed.

The error was. Error: Unknown model extension:

I was only putting a file name in the save dialog without extension. When I saw the error I tried putting either .amf and .stl and it saved for both.

I would say either automatically add one of the file types to the file when saving or at a minimum display a message on the screen that file extension is required.

Thanks!

Ah, yes, this is a linux specific problem. Both windows and OSX automatically add the extension in the save dialog.
