  1. It's an old post, but I faced a similar problem and found a solution. When a wall thickness is a multiple of the nozzle size (e.g., 0.8 mm for a 0.4 nozzle), Cura seems to have problems deciding whether to print the wall in it's actual thickness or thinner, in which case some layers are missing. Adding a small amount, e.g., 0.01 mm, to the wall thickness, gets rid of the problem and won't affect the actual wall thickness.

     

    //EDIT: My solution from above is tedious and only seemed to work for certain parts (in my case, parts that did not overlap OR were not merged). Changing the "Horizontal Expansion" setting by a tiny amount seems to provide a better fix (+/- 0.001 did the job for me).

     

    //EDIT2: The link posted above (https://service.netfabb.com/login.php) also works. I didn't expect that my CAD software messes up creating an STL from such a simple shape.

  2. Hi,

     

    We just bought a new Ultimaker 5S and I'm trying to use Cura 4.1 on an also new Lenovo Carbon X1 laptop with highest specs (i7, 16gb ram etc.). However, every click in Ultimaker takes literally 15 seconds and the software freezes multiple times in between. Very frustrating. How can that be? Any solutions to this?

     

    Thanks!

  3. How can I create a defined overlap between materials in multi-material parts? Specifically, I want the extruder to move into material A at the intersection by a small amount, e.g., 0.2 mm, when extruding material B, to increase the bonding. Is there a way to do it with Cura or other software, or do I have to design the parts such that they overlap and (manually) align them?

     

    Thanks!

  4. When I create and select a new material in the Cura 4.0 Final software, the bar for Layer Height turns gray and I cannot select a layer height anymore.

     

    Specifically, I duplicate a material, unlink it from the original, and change the material type, but nothing else.

     

    Is there a quick fix for this?
