Cura and bridging

[windiesel 0]

Hallo,

I have a Problem with slicing bridges by using Cura

I had this Problem since I stated using cura and I was hoping it will be solved with Cura 2, but it didn t.

First of all bridges should be detected, second bridges should be printed quite slow and with the Fan at max and the most critical, bridges should be printed straigt with "no infill".

the new cura detects and slices bridges correctly, sometimes. I have no Idea how I can trick Cura to do as I want to.

Yesterday I printed 3 models at once Cura sliced one corectly and two wrong as seen in this pictures

I would love to see seperate bridging option in Cura in the future.

best regarts

+1 I have exactly the same questions and would also love to see separate bridging options in Cura.

Could you upload the STL somewhere and provide a link? I think your bridge isn't perfectly flat and the sides are lower or something else about the bridge is confusing cura. For example, maybe the edges of the bridge have no support. Or maybe the sides are lower than the center. By a tiny amount not visible.

Thank you for your replay.

I am not supposed to upload this particular file.

The file was designed in Vector arts and it is realy not pretty (overlaping faces). Thise could be the problem.

Try editing it slightly so that there is a clear bridge area. Maybe even have it two levels - one level to create the bridge and then .2mm higher have the rest of the bridge on top.

Or you could repair the file with meshlab. Or there are repair services on the web.
