GrimJeeper91 0 Posted March 10, 2017 in Cura positions part below the build surface With quite a few files Cura places the part with the bottom of the part protruding below the build plate by about 0.060 inches. Of course building this way results in my part being too thin. All efforts to orient the part correctly fail. What is going on? FYI, UM2 & Cura 2.3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peggyb 136 Posted March 11, 2017 in Cura positions part below the build surface can you check under: preferences - general - if this box is ticked: automatically drop models to the build plate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrimJeeper91 0 Posted March 13, 2017 in Cura positions part below the build surface Yes, the option to "Automatically drop models to the build plate" is checked. I don't have this issue with all models, maybe 30% of them. For those 30% I need to use another slicer to prepare the output file. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bagel-orb 32 Posted March 19, 2017 in Cura positions part below the build surface Try Cura 2.4 If that doesn't help, please provide an STL which fails so that we can reproduce the problem. The project file would even be better (cura 2.4 or up only) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nallath 530 Posted March 20, 2017 in Cura positions part below the build surface I think your issue is just a visual one. We put certain things a bit above the bed to prevent "z-fighting". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jetinite 0 Posted June 24, 2017 in Cura positions part below the build surface I too have this problem. Super frustrating... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jetinite 0 Posted June 24, 2017 in Cura positions part below the build surface I have to shut off the "automatically move parts to the build plate" check box in preferences/general pulldown bes=causse it wont let me adjust it when its checked. Then I micro adjust the .STL in the Z direction. Thank goodness there is a shadow where the part intersects the build plate surface in the software. This happens on more than 75% of my parts. I dont know why this happens, but I wouldn't be stunned if it had something to do with the solidworks SLT software. Plenty of settings in there... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nallath 530 Posted June 26, 2017 in Cura positions part below the build surface The shadow is not actually the place where the object intersects with the build plate. Its a bit above the build plate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
