Infill errors?

hello world!

I have some problems with the infill. I attached a foto, where you can see, that the infill has little squares in it.

Does anybody know what that is and how i get that away and/or what causes that?

Thanks for a reply!

Benedikt.

    The blue lines are support structure to support the gap between the build plate and where the part starts.

    The yellow squares are caused by infill not set at 100%. Most parts don't need more than 10% infill as most of the strength comes from the walls.

    Hej gr5,

    thanks for the reply!

    But i don´t ment the lines of the support and the infill structure. I ment in the blue lines there are some parts that do not belong to the straigt lines! Do you see what i mean? how do they come?

    I don't understand. I think you should add an arrow to the photo. And also post a photo of the model in "normal view" but shown from below the bed. Looking up at the bottom of the part from below.

    do the squares correspond with parts of your design higher up?

    I have to correct. No this "things" do not correspond to upper parts!

    an by the way thanks for the reply!

    Oh now i loaded it new for the picture, and see... a wonderfull new structure!!!5a33118a2e1dd_Bildschirmfoto2015-09-25um19_15_15.thumb.png.2b7f8cb529d767d5d950ff43bcf93520.png[/media]

    the surface is totally even, modelled in rhino 5 mac.

    Those picutres are helpful!

    The blue lines are what is called "support structure". There may be a bug in where it places support but it looks fine to me. The support only goes under overhangs of a certain angle and the outer edge is "vertical enough" such that it's not sure if it needs it or not - right on the edge - that creates that funny patern. But the blue part should hold up the rest - the layer view doesn't always display support structure well in this latest version of cura but it looks fine in the screen shots you showed me.

    If you check where the "blue squares" or "support structure" ends vertically it should just almost touch the actual part. If not you might want to turn off brim. Or if you don't want any support then leave brim on and turn off "support" to "none" instead.

    hej gr5!

    Thanks for the reply!

    i understand everything about support structure and infill and i checked, there is no errors in the model. It was just, the errors in the supportstructure where in a not so good positon and i wanted to know if i can smooth them or even get rid of them.

    Have you considered flipping this part over? I can't see the whole part but it looks to me like it would print much better if you flipped it over. You would only have to support that small rim.

    Also I explained why those areas have strange looking support already. Maybe you should start over and read all the posts?

      • 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!

      • 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.
