maciekish 0 Posted October 14, 2017 in Unnecessary z-hops (edited) Hi, Since the upgrade to Cura 2.7 my printer has started z-hopping during infill. It seems completely random, it will z-hop a couple times, then just turn around a couple times and then z-hop again for no apparent reason during a straight stretch of infill between to pararell walls. It's ruining my first layer and increasing the print time. Any ideas please? Video Edited October 14, 2017 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shadowfiend 3 Posted October 15, 2017 in Unnecessary z-hops This is the sort of behaviour that has been driving me nuts for ages in all versions of Cura. Here is a thread I started on the topic. https://ultimaker.com/en/community/51264-cura-27-toolpath?page=last I would like to bring attention to this ongoing issue as I know that all users would benefit from an intensive look at the code by the Cura team.

Camaroboy383 1 Posted October 15, 2017 in Unnecessary z-hops (edited) Cura 2.7 has issues with the Z hop function... 2.5 the Z hop worked for me... I've since just turned it off...i like the function it's a shame it's malfunctioning... but really the answer is to turn it off in 2.7 Edited October 15, 2017 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dim3nsioneer 360 Posted October 15, 2017 in Unnecessary z-hops On some materials with higher viscosity the z hop literally pulls the filament out of the hotend, especially with larger nozzle diameters. In such cases I recommend to switch off the z hop. I do this for instance with UM Nylon and get significant better results without the z hop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
