Latest version of Cura.

When I set the equivalent to combing in other slicers there are no blobs and the print looks great. The head never travels over empty space.

I have combing set to "all" and I still find the head moving over empty areas instead of only already printed parts as it states. It drastically reduces the amount of times the extruder moves over empty space but it isn't enough. Every single blue line ends up leaving a small very short stringy or blob connected to the outer wall of the print. I am printing with nylon and have narrowed it down to this as running without retraction gave the exact same blobs in the same spots.

Also it just glides right over the screw holes leaving blobs instead of going around them.

I tried avoid printed parts while traveling with and without an avoid distance, didn't bother printing as it showed a lot more travels over empty space.

I tried to enable coasting but it didn't seem to help.

What combing should look like.

      • 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.
