Hi All I am printing an RC plane in surface mode. There is a curious detail i encountered, this indented line around the circumference is almost totally offset and not bound to the layer above or below. My question is; what settings if any determine the maximum offset of single walls in general, or in surface mode specifically. I did print it like this but the layer bond failed almost immediately when i applied pressure to the side Slicing tolerance inclusive does seem to close this gap but the instructions specifically call for middle slicing tolerance

Thank you mate, adding the Variants has allowed this printer to use myexisting profiles. 🙂

Hi all Hoping someone here has played with this before and can tell me what i am missing. My printer (Creality Ender 5 S1) was not supported in Cura 4.12.1 but I wish to use this version for printing planeprint models. Using a custom FFF printer i get horrible underextrusion, I believe it's because the e-steps on this printer are gear multiplied. But that's just a guess. I was able to locate the printer definition in Cura 5.5.0 - creality_ender5s1.def.json I can therefore add this printer to Cura 4.12.1 using this definition and achieve a reasonable print. however, i am unable to use profiles with this print, it tells me that none of the quality settings for my profiles are compatible with the printer. from what i have found, it is actually in the materials that quality is defined. I am using PLA+ and generic PLA. 1. do i need to import an extruder definition for this printer? if so, how? as in, where in the cura printer definition does it point to an extruder definition? 2. how can i determine why Cura thinks that this printer does not support any of the typical quality types such as standard, fine, coarse, draft, dynamic, low etc. I am looking high and low in quality, definitions, extruders but i cannot find the link which determines the supported quality type for the printer. Am i barking up the wrong tree completely? (and if you are wondering why i cannot use 5.5.0, it does some wierd things with certain parts of surface models. I can get close by enabling 'keep disconnected faces' in 5.5. but still not close enough to make a usable print.)
