Slashee_the_Cow -- I heard about the forum trick to troll your own question with a different username just to lure others into the discussion 😁 - so thanks... 43915 ✌️

Slashee_the_Cow - I see what you mean -and it really comes down to what our colleague 43915 above tested - (and I am about to...) In the settings of the top you can define extra skin wall count. If thats more than one it will print a wall parallel to your original... into the air. (In your test file it creates a rim with 8 or so...) But if put to zero and increasing the "overlap of top and wall" it should be fine (see attached pic) Also I normally take the 0.8mm nozzle so I get a less wobbly bottle. Testprint outcome see second pic. Anyone knows where can I propose that... 😕 Can other slicers do that? It would be a great material saver in a lot of cases where you could print without infill...

Yes yes - I know how it is right now. I just wonder why a very useful setting can´t be added to spiralize mode...

Hey - the nice thing about bottles is the relativley narrow mouth opening. No problem without support- 5 layers are enough most of the time to have a plain top surface (the first ones will hang a bit - but since it is closed then you wouldnt even see that.For larger opening it is also just a matter of how many layers until it gives you a nice plain surface on top.

Hey slashee- thanks. But ... - using the spiralize mode you are able to define how many layers of the bottom the printer should do in normal horizontal printing mode. Only then it switches into spiralizing. Why can´t it switch back into normal horizontal printing mode for the top layers? For the small bottle mouths I wouldn´t need any support...). Is just a programming issue, isn´t it? _L

anybody...?

Hey, I'm probably not the first asking for a function to make top layers while using spiralize mode. A closed vase so to say... I have to print bottles and jars a lot and often it would be awesome to have the nice,smooth and fast spiralzed surface AND a closed top though. I understand that the platform is moving down gradually but cura is also able to print the bottom in steps... why not the top ? For other stuff there are a million settings... (btw: "Change at Z" won´t let you change that...) . Miss I something here or where can I propose that feature? Thank you guys for any hint. _L

Hey. I have an UM3 Ext - anybody knows why I can tune down the temperature of the buildplate only 25° ? When I forgot to set it down in Cura it is 60° by default and I can only reduce it on the UM3 to 35° ...? THX

Mmh- ja. Habe auch deren Empfehlung noch mal probiert: den "Cold pull" manuell gemacht (Temp auf 300° - dann auf 80° runter) - die Filamentspitze sieht gut aus. Nur nach einiger Druckzeit taucht irgendwann die Unterextrusion auf... Auseinandernehmen darf/soll man den core ja nicht 😕

Ah - wow... danke. Habe gerade mit dem dt. Vertrieb telefoniert - der meinte etwas von ganz grob über den Daumen (wenn man hauptsächlich PLA druckt ) von 500-1000h - das wären dann 21-42 Tage.

Hallo- weiß denn jmd wie lange so ein Printcore hält? Ich habe trotz jedweder Reinigungsversuche Extrusionsprobleme. Mein 0.4er Core lief jetzt immerhin: 87 d 22h HOT / 1585 meter ....

"file / Reset profile to default" not available in 15.04.4 "fix horrible" ...?! if you mean repair options : didn´t change outcome Tried reinstalling cura and also with older versions of Cura - same problems...

Hi. Does anyone has the same issue with Cura not working properly?: A stl put into Cura appears to get transformed into pathes/layers ok (pic 1) - but fails to save on SD-Card. It`s possible to save it on harddrive - but when opening that gcode in Cura it shows (2nd pic) that there are layers missing so that the printer is stopping then. The stl is fine - no open edges or else... checked with Rhino and netfab. Also the walls are at least 1 mm -using a 0,4mm nozzle. Happened with different stls. Any hints where to search the cause for this? I use a very good PC and Cura 15.04.4 (-and didn´t have the issue with former versions...) Thanks, Lars
