Cura bug? Brim is selected, Not printing,

I dont know what's going on. I have done about 13 hours of small prints this week. Same settings.

Popped open my new 2kg roll of clear colorfabb xt and have had nothing but issues.

First issue was simply the settings for this filament. To think the colorfabb color stuff that

works great printing at temp 180-210 to this clear stuff needing to be at 240 and above...

Anyways. for some stupid reason my Brim setting, which is checked and all within normal

settings wont print! I noticed something was up when I first started a print and the printer

even skipped making a normal parameter around where it's going to print at the start of the print.

And it now wont print Brims...Which when you are printing a ton of small parts comes in handy!

    Have you changed the "Brim line amount" setting under Expert settings perhaps?

    Also, XT is a chemically completely different material from PLA so it's not all that strange that the print settings are different.

    Never touched the Brim settings since I got the machine

    Maybe your part isn't touching the glass - I've seen that before. Can you post the STL file somewhere and/or a screen shot of cura showing the bottom layer?

    Made a flat shape in 1234 Design. Exported it. opened it in cura. Rotated it 90 degrees so it was flat. Cura auto aligns it down to the bed. Doesnt have a first layer in layer view. Rotated it again long ways. It shows up. Rotated it back and it  wont show up again.

    Very annoying. Its a simple RING shape. Didnt rotate it in the 2 other 3d programs I made it in.

    I made a cylinder shape. exported it and tried to open it in cura. Same thing.

    I started a print. It prints the brim. When the print fails I abort it and start it up again. The brim doesnt print on that file or anything else on the memory card. The gcode shouldnt change or lose layers just from sitting inside the printer.

    If anyone else has this issue. Didnt change anything. Disabled advance settings. Went back and my brims were back. Put back in the same settings and it seems to work.

    Don't know why resetting it seemed to do the trick.

    Before that rotating the model and rotating it back to the same position also brought them back.

    I had the same issue, fixed it by changing my initial layer height from 0.1 to 0.2.

      • 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.
