Wall thickness doesn't apply to some layer

[gloine 0]

Hello,

I am trying to slice an STL file with Cura 12.08. The problem I have is that my wall thickness setting doesn't apply to some (important) layer. Here is the model I want to print:

The STL file is here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/nxctctzmx05k61j/turbin.stl

I changed the wall thickness setting to 12 mm to make a concentric top cover, to save me from dangling infill lines.

(This is the only option I've changed from the default. I need to handle retractions later to successfully print it though.)

Unfortunately, I have the following unexpected 111th layer.

The 112th layer is fine as follows:

The height of bottom layer is 1mm, the blades 21mm, and the top cover 1mm.

Any idea why this happens?

Thank you.

Regards,

Gloine

I've seen the same thing happen to another model, not sure why it happens. I don't have any logical explination for it...

That's a bad news...would there be any hint where should I look into?

Thanks for the reply though, now I know this wouldn't be an easy problem at least...

I just digged into the skeinforge code and found that the following three lines in fill.py caused the problem (line 884-886):

 

		if rotatedLayer.rotation != None:		extraShells = 0		self.distanceFeedRate.addLine('( %s )' % layerRotation)

 

It seems that if there is a layer which needs some bridging, skeinforge tries to move straight only. It makes sense in general but not for my case...

So I commented them out and now everything is fine.
