  1. After pondering on this a while I think I have figured out what has changed. Being that the file compare didn't show any substantial differences in the printer profile area of the file I started looking at the extrusion values. I have the suspicion that the profile backup doesn't backup extruder settings like nozzle size. Because if I change the nozzle size from 0.035 to 0.03 and generate a new gcode the code almost matches completely.
  2. Well I broke each file down at each\\ putting one variable per line. Then I ran both files through a compare program. All the values are the same. They are in different orders sometimes but they have all the same information. So now I got to figure out what I'm missing and why its not printing the same getting sliced on this new laptop. I must be missing something.
  3. Hey Folks, I lost access to the laptop that I had been doing my slicing on. I have a new laptop that I am now using with the same version of Cura (4.2.1), using the same STL files, Same 3d printer. I have a gcode that i saved ,on the original laptop. that prints perfect. Re-slicing this file on the new laptop using the same STL files and importing the profile from the existing working file generates a gcode that doesn't print well. So I'm thinking some settings come across in the import of the profile. Looking at the end of the gcode where the profile is stored I can see some differences but I don't know a good way to read it. Does each of the \\ indicate a different variable? Thanks for any help provided Here is the end of the gcode of the working file SETTING_3 {"global_quality": "[general]\\nversion = 4\\nname = Taz Printer Prof ;SETTING_3 ile Electrical

  4. So playing around with these values again today, I think I have a better understanding of what they are doing. I was wondering if someone could correct my assumption I am making here. Does the "Support Z Distance" just affect vertical surfaces? For the Lincoln log file, I uploaded the issue I was having was the supports was sticking to the sides of the log. Therefore I kept increasing the "Support Z Distance" what I noticed was the bottom flat, where it transitions from support to part layer, area got worse each time I increased the Z distance. So my new school of thought is to bring the Z distance back down to 0.25mm and increase the "Support X/Y Distance" to keep the side supports from sticking.

  5. Thanks for the information guys. Unfortunately, I'm printing these out of ABS. Geert_2, did you model your own supports up?
  6. Hello All, First, let me give a huge thanks out to the programmers for improving the supports in Cura 3.0. I am trying to print the attached part (it's from the universal construction kit, it is a Lincoln Log with a k'nex piece sticking out the side). I have oriented it laying on the side so the layers will go down the length of the k'nex part to make it stronger and hopefully prevent breakage along the layers. The problem is the support structure is sticking to the part. In previous versions of Cura, I could pull the supports off with my fingers, in 3.0 it is taking an Exacto knife and a jackhammer. I'm running a 0.35 nozzle with a 0.2 layer height and I have increased the Z support distance to 0.35 and the XY to 0.7mm and its still sticking. Today I printed this part multiple times incrementing the Z support height from 0.1 all the way to 0.35 in 0.05mm increments. All of the supports stuck. I'm running Cura 3.0.4 if ti matters Thanks for any assistance. uck-06f03m.stl Cura 3.0 Circular profile.curaprofile
