[Cura 4.0 - Hollow shoulders if 100% scale]

Hello @carlosgalvezp, I'm afraid the model is not good, it needs fixing before it can be printed

 

[Cura 4.0 Monoprice Ultimate help?]

Hello @DonaldNaegele, if the brim is too thin, that suggest that the nozzle is too close to the bed on that first layer.

[Issues printing with Printcore AA 0.8 : Strange Elephant Foot]

I checked the extrusion rate and line spacing of the skin lines and they agree with what I would expect given the settings you are using.

I think there is an issue in the line width calculation / parametrization for the skin and bottom layers.

 

I checked the extrusion rate when you posted your original message and it looked OK but I will check again to see that the extrusion rate is what I would expect. I'll get back to you on that.

At least for the infill if not the walls as well?

 

I meant skins, not infill although using wider lines for the infill would probably save time.

[Issues printing with Printcore AA 0.8 : Strange Elephant Foot]

Hi @V3DPrinting, I'm sorry I don't have any experience using a 0.8 nozzle so I'm just guessing but have you tried using wider lines. Personally, I use 0.5mm wide lines with a 0.4mm nozzle and get really good results so I'm wondering what will happen if you try using 1mm wide lines with your 0.8mm nozzle? At least for the infill if not the walls as well?

Do you do regularly updated build? Or github I could get the latest. I also like the extra control. 🙂 

 

I release a new build whenever I add or fix anything or there are significant upstream changes. I don't have a regular release schedule.

 

The mb-master branches in my github repos correspond to the latest releases. The mb-testing branches are what I am currently working on but they don't always get pushed to github.

[CURA on Chromebook-How?]

Although some Chromebooks can run Linux applications so maybe there is a way?

New Cura version fails to slice the decorative cover, see the picture attached. I also attach the stl files of the original drawing.

I wish cura also had per layer settings like simplify 3d processes. having different infills in different areas is awesome.

 

Cura has something better than s3d processes, look up infill meshes, they really let you target specific regions that need different infill settings.

what settings do I need to adjust for the said feature tho?

 

If you are using my release, the setting for enabling the wall gap fill is the same as the Ultimaker version.

Impressive extra options. I wish someone fix your mac, great work

 

Thanks.

The problem with the OS X build is simply that the Mac Book I have is too old. As far as I am aware, the codebase works as well on OS X as it does on the other platforms. It just needs someone with a more modern OS X machine to take my source and do the build.

Is there anyway to solve this in Cura?

 

Right now, that's how Ultimaker Cura behaves.

 

I have an alternative implementation of the wall gap filling in my Cura releases that doesn't shake your printer to death.

My releases (which can be installed alongside the standard Cura) can be found at https://www.dropbox.com/sh/s43vqzmi4d2bqe2/AAADdYdSu9iwcKa0Knqgurm4a?dl=0

 

Sorry, only Windows and Linux are currently supported.

[CURA 4.0 caused print head to move outside of print volume]

Hello @RoboDLC, please save the project file (File->Save) and attach the resulting .3mf file to this thread. Thanks.

[unwanted bottom layers on intermediate layers]

Great, glad that helped.

[unwanted bottom layers on intermediate layers]

Hi @shiftux, try increasing the value of bottom skin removal width.

[New Layer Nozzle Positioning]

Yes, this behaviour cannot be turned off. It was introduced when Cura became multi-threaded. Sorry, I can't remember what version that was.

[Help to export gcode in cura 4.0]

Set the file type to gcode in the drop-down menu?

[New Layer Nozzle Positioning]

Hello @naten11, it sounds like you have upgraded Cura from quite an old version because for some time now the behaviour has changed to what it does now. i.e. it always starts the layer at the same location irrespective of where the previous layer finished. It now behaves this way because the gcode for the the layers is computed concurrently rather than sequentially so it doesn't know where the last layer finished when computing the gcode for the next layer.

 

[Weird infill on 0.4mm gaps and walls]

Anything I can do to help you build one?
Maybe I can do the build for you?

 

That's a kind offer. Building Cura isn't terribly difficult. The best place to start is to clone Ultimaker's cura-build-environment repository (https://github.com/Ultimaker/cura-build-environment) and build that and then build the cura-build repository. If you can get through that, it's then a simple step to build my version.

Might want to check if that is also solved in your latest release.

 

I don't mess with the UI so it should work OK.

[Weird infill on 0.4mm gaps and walls]

Thanks for the test object. I am happy to say that my current release handles that OK. I am sorry that I can't make an OS X release for you.

 

 

[Issues printing with Printcore AA 0.8 : Strange Elephant Foot]

Thanks for the file, I sliced it and looked at the gcode and, so far, can't see anything obviously wrong. It simply looks like over-extrusion. Have you checked the filament diameter?

[toby]

When you save the sliced data to file, choose the file type to be gcode...

 

[Weird infill on 0.4mm gaps and walls]

Yes, that's not good. Unfortunately, that OS X version is rather out of date now but I can't build a working OS X release anymore on my ancient Mac Book. If you could share that model, I could at least check my current implementation to see if it can handle that better now. It's still a work in progress.

Again, I shouldn't have to do this to work around issues in Cura.

 

That's true but, unfortunately, it is necessary right now. Cura doesn't really handle walls that are not an even multiple of the wall line width wide terribly well. And thin walls and the wall gap fill are also problematic for Cura right now.

 

You may wish to try my master branch build (Linux and Windows only) that has a different implementation of the thin wall and wall gap filling so it could work better for your model. My builds can be installed alongside the Ultimaker releases without conflict. You can find them at https://www.dropbox.com/sh/s43vqzmi4d2bqe2/AAADdYdSu9iwcKa0Knqgurm4a?dl=0
