[Zigzag pattern presenting weird behavior when reaching a circular wall.]

That sounds about right!

I'll give it a try when back home. Thank you for the very well explained answer.

 

And also thank you for the extra tip about the extra skin wall. I don't know when or why I set that one to 0, but I was definitely looking into getting these walls back. It did give some troubles on a few prints indeed.

[Zigzag pattern presenting weird behavior when reaching a circular wall.]

Hello,

 

Would anyone be able to explain to me what is happening in the GIF attached, when the extruder reaches the edge of the circular wall?

The zigzag pattern is interrupted when it reaches the the wall, but instead of following the curvature of the wall and print it as one continuous line, it seems to break it into a lot of very tiny segments and prints it alternating between the left and the right of the segment. Only when the segment is long enough that its edges are not in contact with the already printed lines anymore, it resumes the zigzag pattern.

 

This behavior repeats on each layer and considerably increases the time of the print (even more with retractions activated since it retracts after each tiny segment).

 

What parameter can I change to prevent this segmentation of the pattern when it reaches the circular wall?

 

I am using Cura 4.11.0.

 

Thank you for your help!
