Hello all I saved and sliced my print in cura but only part of itfinshed i attached picture of final result + the file. I think the problem may be the roof laking supports i attached an image of this hope that somone can figure this out.

Thank you. I have got that down finally.

Hello. I am using a mingda d2 fusion 360 and cura. I have a problem that my nozzle starts a bit too close and it hits the matt which is leaving a scar now. I tried going to move the z up on my printer but it doesn't really effect it when i start printing so I am thinking it must be a setting in cura that is setting the distance. Thanks for any help.

Hey I figured it out sorry to bother. The answer is to select custom printer.

Hello I have a Mingda d2 I asked their support what kind of printer to select if mine doesn't show up on the list of printers I selected one made by the same company, they never get back to me their customer service is crap. It's z index is too high above the plate always when it starts so I think something must e incompatible. Does anyone know a good default printer that I can select I am worried my prints are having too many issues may be incompatibility. Thanks for any tips.

Yes both motors turn its also a brand new printer. I will try what you said hopefully it will work. Thanks

Thanks for the advice i will set the settings like you said and try another print, I took a shot of my settings just encase there is anything wrong with them sounds like you know would know thanks again.

I have a mingda d2. This one https://www.amazon.ca/MINGDA-Printers-Leadscrew-Removable-230x230x260mm/dp/B08DV4Y3RX I attached a picture of my travel settings. thanks for the advice.

Hey, I am using a grid pattern. That does make sense it does hit where the grid intercepts. What is Z-hop on retraction and where is its setting. I am using cura 4.8. I am raising the nozzle on the 3d printer because it will start bumping the print after a while of printing then it will be ok for a bit but eventually i have to raise it up again. eventually after a long print I have had to raise it up by like 4-5 mm total. Its ridiculous.

Hello. I have a really annoying problem. My printer works well so I am thinking there may be something else's maybe to do with curas settings. While I am printing my nozzle keeps bumping the top of the print. When it does the infill which is diamond shapes it will hit all the tops of the diamonds when it moves. I have to raise the nozzle like every 10 minutes. It had a bit to do with the raft warping the temps are at 60 degrees and I have tape holding down the raft. It seems though that this won't stop throughout a big print. Does anyone know how I could fIx this thanks.

Aww that's makes sense thanks for the advice.

Here is the file an the image has an arrow pointing to where it should be a solid doughnut shape not hallow air. thanks GA30_quadperfected.3mf

Hello. I am using fusion 360 and cura eveything works great. I just learned how to make supports and i am using them on my drone frame that i am trying to print off. On cura after I add some supports part of the inside of the four dougnut shapes on all four coners of my model vanish and there is a shadow remaining of where the shell should still be. I attached an image of this. Hope somone can figure out why this is happening. Thanks.

oh neat so i can make a foudation up close to my raft then make some supports extending to my object so that i can just knock them out easily. thanks for the good advice

Hello all. I am making an object with fusion 360 and cura and its working very well. The raft starts out using a zig zag pattern then finishes of with a straight tight fine pattern that makes a solid surface before it starts but that pattern sticks to my object way to much and is hard to remove. Is there a way to set that final pattern on the raft? thanks

Hello. My printer is not shown in the list of printers so i selected one made by the same company. It works well but the nozzle starts too hight always so i always have to decrease its height by -1.5 mm how do i set it in the settings to always start that way.

Hello. I am using cura to make a rectangle with a raft. The problem is that although the raft is very good and works well, it sticks to the rectangle too much because the last layer on the raft is very fine and close together and makes a very solid surface that the rectangle sticks to really hard. I want like a zig zag row of pla to up next to my object so that i can pull them apart when i am done the print. Thanks for any tips.

Ahh I found it it is that little pencil on the right side of the screen. Thanks for the help.

Hello. I am trying to figure out where is advanced in my cura. I attached a picture of my settings.

Ok the only settings I know about are under preferences->configure cura. That is the settings page I showed you in that image above. Is there another settings page? How do I get to it. I have tried switching the right side combo box to custom selection. You said On the right side you have the settings for slicing the mode. The right side of what how do I get to these settings? thanks.

Hello. I think that i have a different version of cura because it seems that mine is very different from many. Does anyone know what is going on here.

Hello. Sorry for the late reply. I attached an image of my settings they look different there is not drop down box. There are so many settings i do not know what ones are right or wrong.

Hello. I am using cura and a mingda d2 printer. I have a 3d model in cura and i am trying to give it a raft. I have read about this so far but cannot find the right settings to get the job done. So far i can only get it to draw an outline i think called a skirt i need a full on raft around the base of my object at least a few mm thick how can i do this is cura? thanks for any tips.

Thanks that totally worked. By the way if anyone else does this click activate I am pretty sure It did not set it right away.

Where is duplicate. thanks
