Hi All
I have a part with a cylindrical section which includes a step down to a reduced diameter, then back up to the original diameter. When I slice it, Cura (4.3.0) fails to put top and bottom layers around the stepped down region. This means that, apart from the infill, there is no connection between the general diameter and the stepped down region.
My screenshot shows the problem.
(BTW, the part does have infill---grid, if it matters---but I've not shown in the attached screenshot. Also, Cura does put the top layers in correctly at the very top of the part which link the outer diameter to the inner, but my screenshot is sectioned a few layers below that in order to show the disconnect at the top of the reduced diameter region.)
I suspect that the problem is related to the fact that, by coincidence, the step size is the same as the wall thickness, at 0.9 mm.
I don't need a solution right now, because I've adjusted the model, but I'd be interested to hear whether this is known problem, as there are likely to be occasions where I don't have the freedom to design the problem out. I couldn't find anything on this forum under "step wall thickness".
(Apologies if there's a repeated image below this line. I've edited my post to delete it twice, but it keeps coming back!)
