Hi Smithy, thanks for commenting. I have to use this layer hight because I want to test different materials. The other objects worked very well, so I habe to use 0,8 nozzle and 0,6 hight. Otherwise I have to print all object with 0,4 hight. I hope you unterstand the circumstances. But you think that 30 mm/s would work better? PS: The settings I chose were the Cura defaults.

Hello everyone, I recently printed Ultimaker CPE with the Generic CPE settings (240°C/85°C temperatures and 7% fan) and 0.8 mm nozzle and wall line thickness, 40 mm/s speed. I am more than dissatisfied with the result. The wall layer is perforated and leaky and when you press on it, the component looks slightly spongy, i.e. elastic, which is not even the case with PLA in the same component. Can anyone kindly recommend pressure settings for the S5 that should give me very good results along with 0.8mm nozzle and 0.6mm layer height? Thanks in advance!

That wasn't the problem, it was what I described plus the fact that the Support Blocker doesn't cover its full volume. If you oversize a bit, it suddenly works. I have already noticed that the block only has to cover the surfaces on the component that are to be supported. But I appreciate that you wanted to help me. Thanks!

Thanks for the answer, but I found the problem. The problem is not only with Cura, but rather with the construction. If 2 edges are exactly on top of each other with a gap in between and you only block the support up to the lower edge, Cura still wants to support the upper edge. That's why I just shifted it a bit inwards, so that the support from edge 1 to edge 2 also seems sufficient for Cura.

Hello dear forum members, I've been dealing with Cura for a few months, but now I'm faced with a puzzle that is certainly easy to solve or explain, but I can't understand it at the moment. I loaded a relatively large part as stl and added support blockers in 3 places because Cura would like to support there, but this is superfluous. As a result, I get exactly what I want in the preview. The problem is now the following: I have "Generic PLA 0.4" as print core #1 and "Generic PLA 0.8" at #2. I don't actually use #2, but it's still enabled. So I want to print with Core #1 and 0.4 mm wall thickness. However, if I now switch off the Core #2 or switch it to "0.4" because I don't actually need it, the expected print time increases enormously! This is probably due to the fact that the support blockers then seem to become ineffective because the support that I don't want is suddenly displayed again. Why is that? I thank you in advance for your help!
