Why is 15.06 not printing my model at 100%?

It seems 15.06 is automatically resizing my models to fit into the print area and calling it 100%. It is NOT 100% and there is no way to set the model to the ACTUAL 100%. In 15.02 the model prints are the actual 100%. See attached photo. Both prints were set to 100% in 15.02 (left) and 15.06 (right). Whats up?

I would just use 15.02, but the print quality is terrible when compared to 15.06 (see attached). I must have missed some setting. Hard to compare settings as the UI between version in completely different.

    When you see infill showing through you probably need to check one box to fix it. It's in the basic screen go to fill density and click the ... next to that and check the box "infill prints after perimeters". That should fix that issue.

    I am assuming that this suggestion is for 15.06, although I thought the picture showed the infill showing through on the part that had been printed using 15.02? I am currently using 15.02 (as I found 15.06 to be a bit buggy) and when I click the ... box next to fill density, the only boxes I can check are for 'Solid Infill top' and 'Solid infill bottom'. I have set 'Infill overlap %' to 0 but we are still getting the infill showing through and it would be good to stop that happening...

      • 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.
