[Cura ignoring small gap]

FYI

I sliced your project file using cura 5.2.1 and it sliced perfectly, so it seems to be another problem with cura 5.3.*

 

[Inconsistent layers]

please supply a project file, load the stl into cure and set it up to slice, then goto file/save as project and post the .3mf.

The project file contains the stl and your printer settings.

 

[Stop printing at certain height, but still finish the model normally?]

I think it would be a lot easier to use the 'split' option in MS 3d builder (part of windows)

then load the split stl's into cura.

 

[Updating a gcode file (G29) and recording it as a gcode one as well ?]

You should do a G28 1st, then do G29 

If you want a 3 x 3 grid try G29 P3

[Change Print Speed]

Can you share the STL pls

[How to split model into components]

You can if you have mesh tools extension from the cura marketplace.

Then you just r-click and split.

[Initial Layers Problem....]

Not sure if this will help but i have printed sunlu pla+ at nozzle 225 and bed at 40 with no problems.

 

[gap before starting to extrude outer wall]

Could be you have coasting enabled .

Also check retract extra prime setting.

[Cannot Change Infill Density in Custom Profile]

It is because you have set a fixed infill line distance that overides the density setting.

Click the f symbol on the left of the distance box to reset it.

[There is an issue printing an 'a' while printing a name 'Matt' for my box. The blob in the middle of the 'a' does not stick well to the bed. I have tried 3 times and failed. It keeps coming off. Please advise..]

[Desperate for Advice with Supports]

can you supply the STL so we can have a look.

[Cura Closing holes]

Try with union overlapping volumes unchecked

 

[Selection]

If you install 'mesh tools' from the cura market (top right in cura).

You can then r-click the model and split into sepperate parts.

[Too many skirt line]

change the skirt minimum length setting

[cura not properly slicing my stl]

1/ click the 3 lines on righthand side of of profile and set 'all'

2/ scroll down the settings till you get to 'special modes' change surface mode to 'surface'

 

[cura not properly slicing my stl]

try selecting 'surface' in the surface mode section.

[Unable to slice 0.4mm thick cylinder]

using cura 5.2.1

Setting number of walls=1

surface mode=normall

slicing tolerance=middle

 

This  produces a spiralize gcode

G1 X100.381 Y79.303 Z3.702 E120.44146
G1 X102.063 Y79.384 Z3.704 E120.49746
G1 X103.736 Y79.573 Z3.706 E120.55346
G1 X105.396 Y79.873 Z3.708 E120.60957
G1 X107.016 Y80.277 Z3.71 E120.6651

 

 

[Prints are missing top surfaces.]

In special modes you have 'spiralize outer contour' ticked.

 

 

[Skirt and rafts]

As a guess i would say the bottom of the model is not flat.

 

[Fan Speed Help Requested, material is ABS]

You need to increase the regular fan speed, otherwise it will stay at the minimum speed you have set at 15%.

the print will start at the minimum value and ramp up to the regular speed at the set regular speed layer(which is layer 4)

in your settings.

[Sliced model not hollow]

changing surface mode to surface gives a hollow model

changing surface mode to 'both' gives a hollow model with infill below and above the windows.

[Sliced with empty spaces]

can you post the stl

[4 Day Print, Filament Break, Need Help Please!]

Another option if you dont mind glueing 2 halves together is to sink the model into the bed, upto the desired layer and reslice and print just the top part.

[Why is Cura not slicing the opening in my model and is ignoring it.]

make sure the setting 'remove all holes' is not checked, in the mesh fixes section.

[Why does Cura create this turquoise support structure?]

To me it looks like your model is sitting above the bed and so cura is generating a support under it.

On the left side of cura there is a option to 'drop model to bed' , make sure that is selected.
