  1. DivingDuck's post in Mesh tool was marked as the answer   
    Looking to the attached model I think it was originally designed for a resin printer.
    Meshtools indicate that the model isn't watertight. Sometimes it slices correct sometimes not. Repairing the Mesh did not help. It looks like the problem came from the model itself.
    When I try to separate the models it came to a count of 579 single model fragments. I would suggest asking the designer of this model.
     
     
     
  2. DivingDuck's post in Curaengine: slower printing speed when layer has single segment was marked as the answer   
    Guess (w/o looking into the gcode),  you run into conflict with the Minimum Layer time setting (Cooling). You can experiment with this setting but you need to be careful as it is easy to set the minimum time too low and that leads to problems of a not cool enough layer to print the next layer onto. For those sections you need to find a well tuned setting between this setting and fan setup.

    Bei mir liegen deine Modelle richtig wenn ich diese importiere. Hast du vielleicht unter den Einstellungen
    Konfiguration -->Allgemein -->Setze Modelle automatisch auf der Druckplatte ab nicht aktiviert?
     
    Des weiteren gibt es ein nettes Plugin namens Auto Orientation welches ebenfalls für manche Fälle hilfreich ist

  5. DivingDuck's post in Put New STL in Existing Project File was marked as the answer   
    Add the new model to an open project first and then delete the old model. An other way is to save a developed profile as a new profile and attach it later to a new project.
     
    BTW, actual version of Cura is 5.2.2.
  6. DivingDuck's post in Beginner needs some help. No height when attempting to print sliced file? was marked as the answer   
    Your STL file have an error. The model isn't watertight.
    You can repair it with a tool like 3D Builder (part of Windows standard app's). I attach the repaired model.
     
    Maybe a good idea to update the Cura slicer. The actual version is 5.2.2. Install it without deleting the old version so you have a fall back in case you are missing the printer profile of your printer. There are some neat plugins available, like MeshTools ( go to -->Marketplace -->MeshTools). It will tell you if a STL file have problems and give some tools for a repair too.

  7. DivingDuck's post in Spurious supports - why are they generated? - how to get rid of them? was marked as the answer   
    Hi @Flying_Roger,
    No, this is Tree support (I guess). It should be something like "utiliser la tour" (Google translation)
     
    The one I mean is, if you have activate Support with Structure = Normal (pic CuraSupportOn) and then go the entries for support down to the end you will find an entry called "Use Towers". This is activated by default (pic CuraUseTowersOff). Deactivate this and see if this will improve your slicing.
     
    It is maybe possible that you don't see this entry. Activate show all settings on the right of the search bar.
     
    And as @GregValiant already mentioned, an angle >65° is quite challenging. Don't think, this will work good, but try it and let us know your experiences. I'm interested to see how it will look with your printer.

    Check if the STL export produce a defect file. Install the plugin Mesh Tools from marketplace and check your stl file.
