Hi @Burtoogle! Thanks a million for the lightning fast response and your kindness of helping a stranger 🙂 So would you agree that such nuts shapes in the path of that cylinder really should never happen and should not have to be corrected by that setting [Mesh Fixes] Maximum resolution..? I would think so at least.. Especially since I exported that STL with my very high resolution setting in SolidWorks. I just downloaded your release, can't wait to see how you deal with those paths and gaps! 🙂 So do you work for Ultimaker? Or you're a programmer and work with 3D printers in some other way? Again, thanks a LOT, I'll go try this now.

I had similar strange artifacts like that on my 4.5.0 Cura. Using a Modix Big60 V2 printer, not using any imported profiles, just the standard profiles that came with the clean installation (I'm using Cura for only 2 weeks now). While slicing a tube, I also got 1 single infill layer passing through the entire tube, even through the Outer Wall layers of the inner diameter of the tube. Really weird. I updated to 4.6.0 today, but now I have a very strange other issue. I guess I should post that in a new post, but I thought to mention it here also.. See the image.. I made a simple cylinder. Tried 3 walls and a line bottom layer: All ok. But I'm trying to find a good setting to print a flange which will need to receive a rubber gasket and I really don't want straight lines (and possible gaps) causing any leaks. So, I wanted very much to use the concentric type for the top and bottom layers. And to my stupid surprise, I see these totally weird jumps in the extrusion path??? How is that logical? To convert a perfect cylinder into "concentric" paths that have these weird jumps in them? Does anyone have an idea why that's happening? Just now I bumped into [Mesh Fixes] Maximum resolution, which is default set to 0.5mm. Earlier I didn't expect that this could mean anything, as the shape is a perfect cylinder, but.. Now i just imagined that maybe it's all about matching the polygons, which are just triangles.. And when I changed that max resolution to 1.0mm, I suddenly get perfect circles! I have no idea yet what effect this will give on actual details that it SHOULD print.. I'll have to investigate that tomorrow morning (as it's 3am here in Belgium already).. Then I only endlessly wonder why the software can't close that last gap (in the 100% concentric infill) with one more circular path, with a calculated reduced flow to compensate for the reduced available width from the standard 0.4mm Infill Width setting. If there would now only be 75% of 1 line width space left in the center (my current settings are 0.4mm line/infill width, and the wall is 11.50mm wide, so 11.50/0.4=28.75 paths, leaving you with the visible 0.75mm gap). Why can that gap not be filled? At least, why not with a concentric (75% flow of the default set flow) pattern? I can only select "Everywhere" or "Nowhere" for [Fill Gaps Between Walls]... While I just want a nice, smooth concentric line... Does anyone know how to solve this problem in Cura? Or should I use something else with more options? Thanks in advance for any help..! 🙂 Cheers
