Cura G-code big Z jump !!??

Posted · Cura G-code big Z jump !!??

HI everyone. I am new to Cura. I used to use Simplify3D.

This project has caused me big problems.  I had tried multiple times to output STL from my designer and imported them into Cura. I even moved the part to different positions of the print bed and regenerated the G-code. But most time I got a big Z jump at a certain build height. The Z axis just jumped by 10cm and continue to extrude...

 

I am using Creality CR-10 mini and the latest Cura 3.2.1 version.  Would anyone have an insight?  The Project file I attached here made the one on the right. After about 12mm of height, the extruder went up and continue to print in AIR !!

 

I think I need to switch back to Simiplify3D for now.

 

Would someone with this printer can print this out and tell me the result?

Thank you in advance.

MKZ

    ALWAYS look at the print in layer view before printing the part.

     

    I'm guessing the wall got too thin for a bit.  You can either make "line width" smaller (and make wall thickness a multiple of wall line width).

     

    Or alternatively try checking "print thin walls".

     

    And ALWAYS look at the print in layer view before saving/printing.  You would have noticed the problem without starting the print.

    HI Gr5,

     

    thank you for your reply. I will definitely try with different wall thickness.

     

    I went back to check the print layer of the existing setting and did not see anything wrong. Please download video.

    My question is, even if the wall thickness is not a multiple of the line width, why would the Z axis jump? Is it a bug?

     

    thank you so much.

      • 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.
