Cura won't slice de flat layers

Posted · Cura won't slice de flat layers

Hi,

I'm new on this forum, so I hope I can provide all the information needed to find the solution for my problem. I've been looking around and I couldn't find anything that worked for me.

All the archives I load to Cura don't slice properly, and the flat layers don't appear. I upload some pictures so you can see what happens. If I change the position of the figure, those layers appears, so I think the problem isn't they are too thin. I've tried with my own 3D models and with some from thingiverse, and those ones had photos of the printed result.

Thanks for your help.

    The layers are there ;), Cura only shows the top ten layers accurate (as a brighter red outside color, the infill also disappears in the other layers)

    If you position your model flat and scroll through the layers you will see that every layer is there.

    The choice of rotation to print your model will influence the print quality, this model can be printed both ways.

    If you print this laying down the domes will have visible lines, steps, showing. When printed sideways the dome can be very smooth, depending on your layer height setting; a 0.06 layer height is very fine, 0.2 is course.

    The difference between the to is that the top appearance will always show the size of the nozzle, were the sides can be adjusted with the later height.

    Print it both ways and look at the difference....

      • 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.

      • Ultimaker Cura 5.6 stable released
        Cura now supports Method series printers!
         
        A year after the merger of Ultimaker and MakerBotQQ, we have unlocked the ability for users of our Method series printers to slice files using UltiMaker Cura. As of this release, users can find profiles for our Method and Method XL printers, as well as material profiles for ABS-R, ABS-CF, and RapidRinse. Meaning it’s now possible to use either Cura or the existing cloud-slicing software CloudPrint when printing with these printers or materials
