Posted · CURA Compensate wall overlap

Ive been using CURA for a few months and am very happy with the results. Lately I've been printing at higher speeds and more detail. One thing I've noticed is when printing parts with high detail my printer seems to vibrate and jerk very bad. I sliced and ran the same part with Slic3r at the same speeds and the vibration went away.

I noticed by looking and the layer paths that CURA and Slic3r handle walls differently. So in CURA I unchecked the "compensate wall overlap" and ran the file again. It ran just as smooth as Slic3r but with a slight over extrusion where the walls overlap (of course).

It seems to me that CURA is changing the velocity of the print head to compensate the material flow where the walls overlap. To me this velocity change is too much for my machine to handle. I would like to know more about how this "compensate wall overlap" function works and if there are other setting that may help smooth things out and still compensate for wall overlaps.

FYI - I'm running a Makerbot replicator clone with sailfish 7.7 firmware.

      • Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        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.
