I also have graphics issues with the MAC version on Cura with my 15´ MacBook Pro Retina which I couldn't explain myself. It misses round sections in the font.... None of my other machines does that, so I attributed it to the Retina display, but it wasn't my primary concern... Could find some old issues with the Retina display but nobody with that same problem...
Same annoying graphics problem for me: MacOS and Cura 3.2 as well as Cura 3.2.1
The problem did show up in an earlier (pre 3.1) version of Cura, but does not happen with Cura 3.1.

Ummmm, yes it will. Ya just gotta play wid it. I have made prints like that. It is like watching a tube of toothpaste getting laid down like a coil. Betcha betcha
I would suppose that it works only on nonstructured, vertical walls, doesn‘t it?

Hi, thanks for posting the gcode, I can see there that you are getting a retraction at layer change, so just disable the retract at layer change option and the z-scar should go away. FYI, there is already a mod (https://github.com/Ultimaker/CuraEngine/pull/694) to ignore the retract on layer change if spiralization is enabled but it hasn't yet made it into Cura.
This would be very helpful.
As you guys suggested, I played around with the settings and as it turned out, the retraction setting was the culprit for the seam. I disabled it and set the layer height to 0.4mm, speed 25mm/sec, inreased the extruder temperature to 210°C and voila! (Compare before/after version in the photo)
Thanks for all your kind support!

Looks like you have some nice results there
. What filament were you using, I might want to try it! You now have the right settings for you 0.4 nozzle. I cannot see what the difference would be; all you are doing is printing a wider wall so I see no reason why it would not work with 0.8mm; I have had some really nice results with a 0.8mm (not spiralizing). As I said you are needing to push though twice as much material so I would use your 0.4 settings but push the extruder temp up 5 and/or 10 degrees to see what happens. I do not know why the print would stop shortly at very layer change, although clearly that is causing your vertical mark.
Yes, besides the seam it looks nice. Going up a bit with the extruder temp seems to help avoiding the faults, as well as reducing the print speed.
But how can I get rid of the seam when using the AA0.8 nozzle?
Will try to dive into the g-code and compare the .4 and .8 codes. Maybe that could help to understand what's happening here.
Btw., I'm using Filamentworld PLA clear (PLA300XCLR). It comes on a bigger spool, which makes it impossible to put another spool on the UM3 spool holder. And yes, I printed and tried the alternative spool holder, but am not satisfied with the construction. So I changed back to the UM3 genuine holder.

Hi, to help understand this could you please post some gcode, I don't really need to see it all, just the gcode for the last few layers would be enough. Please include the settings at the end of the gcode file.

What is your layer height and print speed- no way of knowing if extruder temp is ok without them. Several years since I played with spiralize so this is somewhat of a guess.
Turn off retraction; set your line widths to 0.8 with 1 wall. If you are not printing slow then printing slower may help. I doubt I ran mine at more than 30mm/s
Yes the z-scar or whatever it is strange because I do not think the print head has any travel moves in spiralize; something to do with an 0.8mmnozzle I wonder. Certainly not a problem I ever experienced.
No idea if you are an expert with a .8mm nozzle, remember you are pushing out twice as much material per sec. so you may want to do some testing with a simple cube to get the extruder temp spot on.
Thanks for your responses and recommendations!
Seems the problem with the faults in the walls goes away with reduced print speed, so this should not be a problem any more.
I have attached a photo with different samples, the evolution goes from left to the right side. Parts 1, 2 and 7 (from left to right) were printed with the AA0.8 nozzle and all of them have a seam. I tried this with 0.8, 0.4 and 0.2mm layer size, no change. During printing you can see that the print stops shortly at every complete layer. This is independent from the retraction setting (on or off).
The objects 3, 4, 5 adn 6 (from left to right) were printed with the AA0.4 nozzle. After reducing the print speed they all came out perfectly, without any seam. The printing was one continuous spiral. Layer size 0.2.
So basically one question remains: is it possible to use the spiralized mode, without a seam, with the 0.8mm nozzle and what are the required settings?
Thanks for listening ;-)
-
I'm trying to learn how to use the the spiralized mode. Not satisfied yet, because I expected that there would be no seam, but there is one, see image.
What am I doing wrong? And what is causing the other faults in the surface?
Material used: PLA
Temperature: 220°C
AA 0.8mm print core

The cable cover is held in place with push-fit tabs on the back, right, and bottom panels. Start with the bed all the way down so its out of the way, and pull at the top corner of the cover; may need to work it side to side a little to get it out.
After some more problems, today I changed the cable. Thanks to your helpful hints regarding the cable cover, it went without problems. Hopefully the nasty ER18 will have gone. Thanks again!

No idea yet how it sounds, because the guy who received the horns from me hasn't yet finished the speaker construction. I constructed and built it (the two horns) on demand.
-
This is a Tractrix horn that I constructed with Fusion 360 (imported calculated data) and printed with Cura on my UM3.
At the back side of the horn a tweeter is going to be mounted and the whole stuff will become part of a stereo audio system (I made two of them for a friend of mine who is an audio fanatic).
Material: Ice PLA, colour "Glamorous Gold", printed with 0.8 nozzle and some PVA support.

It seems that I do need to replace the (UM3) print head cable, as the 18 error raised its ugly head again a couple of times (interestingly right after aborting a print job, like Kortben described above).
I already bought a replacement cable at my own cost, but am not sure how to replace it, because I didn't find out how to open/remove the right hand side stepper motor cover sheet which also hides the print head cable leading down to the electronics pcb. Any hints?

You made my day!
This setting was activated on my MacBook for the Thunderbold Ethernet interface. After disabling it, Cura no longer crashes.
Thanks for pointing this out!

Are you using the Apple Thunderbolt Ethernet interface?

You beat me to it
Yes, because of problems with extruder 1 I printed the model with extruder 2.
As you saw, I changed the setting for extruder 1 instead of extruder 2. Wasn't aware that the infill can be set separately, stupid me.
Thanks for pointing that out!
From the image you attached, it looks like you are modifying the Infill Density setting of Extruder 1, yet your model is being printed by Extruder 2.

When I try to change the infill density of extruder 2 it doesn't change, see layer view in screenshot. For extruder 1 this works just fine.
Am I doing something wrong or is this a special feature of Cura 3.0 (seen already with Cura 2.7)?
-
The problems have been with two different Print Cores (0.4 and 0.8 ), but always in the same slot (#1, left side as seen from the front). I always double-checked the proper seating of the Print Cores ("click" after insert) and also checked the cable connection on the print head side, which didn't show any obvious problem.
Regarding the logfiles, I would like to send them to you via wetransfer, but need an email-address, could you please send it to me?
BTW, to be able to quickly collect the logs I have written a small shell script to run (on MacOS) after a problem occured; maybe it could be helpful for some other person:
#!/bin/bash## get_um3_status.sh## Collect relevant information from UM3 for troubleshooting purposes## 28-Aug-2017 First edition -pl (peter.lelie@lelie.de)## define target IP addressUM3=192.168.yyy.xxx#DATADIR=$(date +%Y_%m_%d_%H_%M_%S)echo $DATADIRmkdir $DATADIRcd $DATADIR#curl --output log.txt http://$UM3/api/v1/system/log?lines=1000curl --output system.txt http://$UM3/api/v1/systemcurl --output head.txt http://$UM3/api/v1/printer/heads/0curl --output tempflow.csv http://$UM3/api/v1/printer/diagnostics/temperature_flow/10?csv=1#cd ..#
Posting logfiles would be helpful yes. If you use something like wetransfer it allows us to take a peek.
Also, just out of curiosity, what Print Core are you using? Is it always the same Print Core?
If you, for example, use AA in both slots, if you change them, what happens: is the error for the same Print Core, or for the same slot?
-
Would it make sense to check the other side of the extruder cable (@ the controller board)?
Sad to say that the problem has happened again, twice in the last two days.
Would it be helpful to post logfiles?
Contacting my reseller appears not be helpful; they want me to send back the device, which I want to avoid because I do not trust the DHL people to be careful with my UM3.
Glad to hear it sounds like the issue has been gone for a month. Generally reseating the cable does the trick in most cases.

Sorry guys, after trying out the Beta again and loading an .stl file it turns out that the font distortion is still there, please see attached image.
It seems to be somehow random, some characters are ok, some others are not. Sometimes cura starts with fine characters and you have to load a print file or change to "Monitor" before the distortions start.
(Sorry for the confusion)
Could you try the new beta?
https://ultimaker.com/en/community/51443-ultimaker-cura-3-beta
It should be fixed there.
Just did a quick check and it looks like the fonts are coming out perfectly. Thanks for fixing this!
