  1. look under 'edit' for the shortcuts select the part, and choose 'delete' key to delete the selected part or use the right combination (Mac/Windows) to delete everything on the build plate
  2. can you make a screenshot of your build plate adhesion? by default brim is active and can disturb the print size
  3. what are your settings in the 'build plate adhesion'? skirt, brim? do you have double extrusion?
  4. good find, never used this setting, will keep this in mind 👏
  5. There is something weird with the model. Can you check the .stl in a program like Meshmixer, -> Analysis -> Inspector and see if something shows up. Cura is creating large triangels towards the bed, filling up the model.
  6. I loaded your .3mf and it looks fine to me, or did I miss something in your message? If you have trouble locating it on/under the bed, check the z-numbers in the Move section, there is also in the preferences something like 'automatically drop models to the build plate' It is also possible that the graphics card of your computer is the problem, indoor first picture it shows you are in 'compatibility mode' My screen looks different because I use Cura 4.6.1 and the plugin 'Sidebar GUI'
  7. all Ultimaker printers, looked it up in the machine settings and it uses 'Griffin'. If you want more technical information, ask, @ahoeben, I know how to use the software/printer but not the underlaying technical info.
  8. Found another answer of @fieldOfView If you can't see temp settings, your printer is likely using UltiGcode. When using UltiGcode, temperature settings are set on the printer, not in Cura. You can change the gcode flavor to Marlin in the Machine Settings for your printer, and gain full access of temperatures in Cura. The "Enable prime blob" setting has been disabled for all printers.
  9. SketchUp is good for visual drawings, but not so much for 3d printing, unless you know what to do. I think you spend a lot of time making this drawing, but I'm sorry to say that it is impossible to print in this state. You should take some time to learn the basics, here is a good start: https://i.materialise.com/blog/en/3d-printing-with-sketchup Use youtube to learn about SketchUp or use another program, like Onshape, Tinkercad, Blender, Freecad, OpenSCAD, they all have their strong and weak points, and it takes time to learn...https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=thor's+hammer+3d+drawing Start with an easier model, design this hammer without the graphics first, just the basic shape as a solid. It does not need to be hollow, the slicer will take care of that. The problem now is that your model is build up from too many separate parts that do not have a connection to each other.
  10. There is a setting 'Enable Prime Blob' under the Build Plate Adhesion tab, or use the search with 'prime'
  11. can you share the model to have a look? did you check the model with the x-ray view?

    Cura Flow

    Hope it works for you, let us know.. It is a complicated subject, I try to approach it rationally. To my knowledge, and I could be wrong of course, when you change the line width, less material comes out (less flow) and the wall is narrower (what you asked for). When you set the flow higher, you get more material and the wall swells, resulting in a wider wall than your line width. If you use less flow you end up to a point where there is not enough material resulting in under extrusion. Using horizontal expansion shifts the wall in or out using the regular settings. Every model is different and could benefit of the actions above, even different colors or materials act different. For final object do some tests, print a part, a slice of the model. You can position your model with a -z in the bed to test a critical part and abort when you have enough information to skip time.

    Cura Flow

    Did you measure your accuracy in x and y as most important or also z? For x and y you could play with 'horizontal expansion', using + or - values, then you can set your flow separately.
