MKZ 0 Posted March 3 in 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.

gr5 928 Posted March 3 in Cura G-code big Z jump !!?? 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MKZ 0 Posted March 4 in Cura G-code big Z jump !!?? 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. https://www.dropbox.com/s/afxv1i1vm69goeu/IMG_6290.MOV?dl=0 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. MKZ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
