Cura 15.06.02 does not create infill in shaft

1.

I set 50% infill density. But the infill density from Cura 15.02.1 is more dense compared to 15.09.81 beta (please compare to the  picture in my first post in this thread)

(I played a littlebit. If I set infill to 80% on 15.09.81 then it seems to be same as 50% in 15.02.1). So for some reason 50% on both version do not give same infill.

- Why is this?

I have no idea. I'm not aware of any changes in that area, but it could be some settings were mixed in the engine.

If layer view is turned on and I use up/down arrow on keybord to move through the layers then the layer is changed as expected but the 3D view rotates at same time!?!

Whoops, that's my bad. I added the keyboard controls because someone requested it for notepads, but forgot that layer view also reacts with keyboard presses.

    Hi nallath,

    what does this mean now?

    - Will the keyboard issue be solved in one of the next releases?

    - What about the different infill density (at same setting of 50%) of 15.09.81 compared to 15.02.1?

    I cannot reproduce any bug in the infill percentage. Are you sure you haven't set the infill pattern to Grid instead of Lines?

    With an infill percentage of 50% and the Lines pattern, the lines are as far apart as they are wide. For the Grid pattern they are 3 times as far apart as they are wide.

    Perhaps this bug was due to the setting update bug which has been solved in the meantime.

    Did you use the supplied STL file? It had a VERY small cylindrical area that was getting no infill even though there was room for it. It could be that this bug was fixed recently.

    @bagell-orb - on aug 27 you posted that this bug was fixed. I think you can ignore this thread.

    Hi,

    where I can download the latest Cura built to verify that this issue is solved?

    It's kind of a secret but if you search the forums you can probably figure it out. I'll pm you the location.

    It's not secret: http://software.ultimaker.com/Cura_closed_beta/15.10/ (don't let the URL fool you, we're just lazy ;))

    Hi,

    thanks for the link, I downloaded the latest version now and tried again.

    The problem is solved now.

    And bagel-orb was right. For some reason the infill pattern was set to grid instead of lines. I don't know why since I never had this option visible in my Cura versions. Anyway I made this option visible now and detected it was set to grid.

    Then I switched it back to lines and then the infill was same as in legacy Cura again, see here:

    Just for fun I set it also to Concentric, but there is no infill at all, as you can see here:

    Is this also a bug or not?

    I don't want to push, but can anybody tell me if 'no infill' on Concentric pattern is a bug or not?

    Thanks ;-)

    Hi nallath,

    OK thanks.

    I assume someone from ultimaker development team will take care?

      • UltiMaker Cura 5.3 stable released
        In this stable release, Cura 5.3 achieves yet another huge leap forward in 3D printing thanks to material interlocking! As well as introducing an expanded recommended print settings menu and lots of print quality improvements. Not to mention, a whole bunch of new printer profiles for non-UltiMaker printers!
          • Thanks

      • Here it is. The new UltiMaker S7
        The UltiMaker S7 is built on the success of the UltiMaker S5 and its design decisions were heavily based on feedback from customers.
         
         
        So what’s new?
        The obvious change is the S7’s height. It now includes an integrated Air Manager. This filters the exhaust air of every print and also improves build temperature stability. To further enclose the build chamber the S7 only has one magnetically latched door.
         
        The build stack has also been completely redesigned. A PEI-coated flexible steel build plate makes a big difference to productivity. Not only do you not need tools to pop a printed part off. But we also don’t recommend using or adhesion structures for UltiMaker materials (except PC, because...it’s PC). Along with that, 4 pins and 25 magnets make it easy to replace the flex plate perfectly – even with one hand.
         
        The re-engineered print head has an inductive sensor which reduces noise when probing the build plate. This effectively makes it much harder to not achieve a perfect first layer, improving overall print success. We also reversed the front fan direction (fewer plastic hairs, less maintenance), made the print core door magnets stronger, and add a sensor that helps avoid flooding.
         

         
        The UltiMaker S7 also includes quality of life improvements:
        Reliable bed tilt compensation (no more thumbscrews) 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi A 1080p camera (mounted higher for a better view) Compatibility with 280+ Marketplace materials Compatibility with S5 project files (no reslicing needed) And a whole lot more  
        Curious to see the S7 in action?
        We’re hosting a free tech demo on February 7.
        It will be live and you can ask any questions to our CTO, Miguel Calvo.

      • UltiMaker Cura Alpha 🎄 Tree Support Spotlight 🎄
        Are you a fan of tree support, but dislike the removal process and the amount of filament it uses? Then we would like to invite you to try this special release of UltiMaker Cura. Brought to you by our special community contributor @thomasrahm
         
        We generated a special version of Cura 5.2 called 5.3.0 Alpha + Xmas. The only changes we introduced compared to UltiMaker Cura 5.2.1 are those which are needed for the new supports. So keep in mind, this is not a sneak peek for Cura 5.3 (there are some really cool new features coming up) but a spotlight release highlighting this new version of tree supports.
