Help needed with Cura 2.6.1

Hi,

Sorry if this is a repeat of my last post, I can't see it on the message board so have posted again.

I am new to 3D printing but have done my research and finally bought my first printer. I have had a lot of fun and success in printing both my own models and downloaded ones. However since I upgraded to Cura 2.6.1 all my new models are coming out with solid infill only.

Here is a button I made for my mixer unit. As you can see it loads into Cura as it should. 5a333c88cb5cd_BtnSolid.thumb.JPG.d7b21132b45292ba9223b5c60a402f7c.JPG

However when I look at the layers, it has the centre piece as a solid piece.

You can see I have infill at only 20%. I also managed to print these out in 2.6 perfectly. This is happening with all my prints now. I uninstalled 2.6.1 including all appdata folders and cleaned my registry. I then reinstalled 2.6 but the same thing is happening. Not sure what is happening here so any advice would be much appreciated.

Mark.

    Check out the X-Ray view in Cura for any Red areas. These indicate errors in the model that might cause that.

    It looks like you part is not a closed manifold. If you created it in Sketchup, use the Solid Inspector tool from their Warehouse to check it.

    You can also use an online tool like MakePrintable to check for and repair errors.

    Hope this helps.

      • 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.
