Part prints too low into the glass

Posted · Part prints too low into the glass

I'm having a problem where my parts keep printing about 1mm too deep, so that the first mm of my part is missing. The Cura even shows my part is too deep, into the glass. I can not add any value to the Z coordinate arrow in the move option. There is no Datum plane there in my CAD (Creo 2). It does not matter what version of Cura I try (2.3.1, 2.5)

The only way to make this work is to use the RAFT support set with an air gap of 1mm or more.

Is there some setting I am missing?

Thanks for any help

    Not sure why Cura is automagically doing that for you, but try turning off Automatically drop models to the build plate in Preferences -> Configure Cura and see if you can then move the Z offset up enough to regain that lost 1mm.

        (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.
