[How to remove the extra wall attributed for Top/Bottom layers?]

Does anyone know how to remove the extra wall Cura adds to top/bottom layers when filling the skin?

Because I don't have any infill there isn't anything underneath that wall to hold it there once I begin the top layers. So, it will begin to sag and the skin will also sag with it because it sticks to that wall. I would like the skin to stick directly to the inner wall instead. (Or maybe Cura can begin printing the extra wall one layer before this and have it be 50% overlapping from the inner wall so as to build a layer of support before the first top layer gets printed.)

 

I am attaching two images within Cura for reference. One will show the extra wall being printed with nothing underneath to support it. And the other will show the skin being filled in.

 

Hopefully someone has any idea of a workaround.

Thanks!

Hi, I had the same issue's of my imported profile all gone when moving from 4.6.1 to 4.7.0 and then 4.7.1, And when trying to import them again, it coming up with "successfully imported profile...." but not showing up in the list.
The way I got past it wasn't really a great solution if you dont have a copy of the imported profiles to add again, but i found doing a full reset sorted out the problem. Not to sure if anyones got a better way around it?
If you cant figure out how to do a complete reset, just check the support page > Frequently asked questions.

 

@J-Liam Can you share a link on how to do the complete reset? I couldn't find it on the support page. I am sure it might be buried somewhere in there but the basic search for it did not show up anything useful.

[Cura won't show the imported profiles in the dropdown menu]

Just happened to me as well on Cura 4.7.1. I am trying to import some previously saved config profiles and they are not showing up after successfully saying it has been imported. After doing this a few times I start to get a "(#X)" next to the name of the import in the success window. This does nothing for visibly seeing the profile.

[Problem with spiralize in CURA 4.3.0]

No explanation as to why but

Switch 'surface mode'  to surface and turn off 'smooth spiralized contours' seems to work.

 

Cant seem to get a bottom layer to it tho.

 

 

Try using the "per model setting" feature. 

- add a support block on the bottom layer, size it greater than your bottom layer dimension (z height should equal bottom layer height). Make sure the block begins at z=0mm 

- Click on the support block again (make sure it highlighted) and select "per model settings" on the left tab. And change the Mesh Type to "modify settings for overlaps".

- Select Settings: Surface Mode - change this back to "on" or "normal" depending which CURA version you have.

- I found that the support block mesh type switched back to "normal mode" which was weird. SO make sure you switch it back to "modify settings for overlaps".

- the regular model should be as mentioned with "surface mode" turned OFF & "smooth spiralized contours" OFF

- Slice!

This worked for me, it fixed my strange gap and also the bottom layer issue! :)

[CURA 4.2.1 vs 3.6 Print Time Discrepancies]

I experienced this exact same issue. After almost ripping my hair off I think I may have found it.

First try enabling the outer wall speed and inner wall speed and modify. 

Then you can also enable and increase the Top/Bottom Speed.

Lastly I found out that in CURA 3.6, if you set your own values for Top/Bottom Thickness the slicer will override the layer thickness you set in the beginning. I used to think I was printing at 0.2 mm layer height but in reality it was 0.302. Double check the total number of layers in CURA 3.6 and compare it to CURA 4.2.1.

 

Hope this helps!
