     OK, I clicked on the! Next to wall line countc and set it back to an automatically calculated value. Then the wall thickness was unlocked. Now setting the walls thickness three times the line with brought the wall kine count back to three but now showed the right wall thickness. Print is running and we will see if that solved the problem.

    It seems to me that either I am asking the wrong questions or no one is actually in this forum. 

    Nevertheless:

    I change the wall thickness to 1.05 and Cura shows in layer view 6 lines for a 2.1 mm part using a 0.35mm nozzle. 

    Results look still strange. Outer wall is sometimes missing.

    Anyone an idea?

    With Slic3r the exact same part, with the same settings, prints right.

     

    Come on Cura-guys! The problem I described above is truly a problem in Cura. You should be interested in fixing that.

      • 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.
