Negative skirt ?

Just noticed that Cura when slicing big models (190mm x 190mm), generates negative coordinates for the skirt, this results in the Z cooridinate not being set and the first layer printed "in the air"

;LAYER:0

;TYPE:WALL-OUTER

Simpel fix is of cause just to edit the .gcode file and change the negative X value to 0.

Is this on purpose ?

    Those moves are outside of the machine, so the print you are trying to make is larger then the machine, which is causing your problems. You can reduce the skirt distance, or disable the skirt.

    I am having the issue that the skirt seems to extrude too much. The print itself prints at the right thickness, but the skirt just oozes out. This wouldn't be a problem if on the second round of the skirt the extruder didn't strip itself trying to print on this thick layer. I noticed that the small herringbone gear that I have was tightened too tight and that the nut is pulling through the plastic, so I ordered a set of spur gears from shapeways. But I don't think that is the main problem, I think it is somewhere in the settings.

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
