  1. With the latest version of Cura it includes the gyroid slicing model that I really like.  It speeds up the printing on my rather slow 3d printer pretty well.  

    I found it recently and started using it but lately I may have found an issue.  I created a part that I wanted to print and it printed very quickly using the gyroid on 25 fill.

    Since I was prototyping the part i did not include any through holes for mounting the part to another object.  

    I then added two mounting holes with a counterbore to recess the mounting screws.  The printer stared losing steps as it got to the hole.  At the same time I wanted it to print faster so I reduce the infill to 10 percent.  

    I then reset the infill to 25 percent the reprinted,  The same happened only worse.

    The last print I change back to cubic infill and the part printed normally with no step loss.

    I've fine tuned this printer very excessively and it does not normally lose steps.  I really don't know if this is a bug in the gyroid code but it seems to be a weird interaction with the stepper motors.

    Is anyone having this issue?

     

  2. I was wanting to move Cura to my Intel NUC running Windows 10 and it will load ok but when I tried to start it, the icon spins for a few seconds and it does nothing else.  I've update Windows 10 with all the latest patches and update the NUC with all the Intel updates and still nothing.  

    I tried uninstalling Cura and reinstalling and still no luck.

     

    Ideas?
