Cura 3.3.1 moving outside of model and extruding filament mid print

Posted · Cura 3.3.1 moving outside of model and extruding filament mid print

Hello. Since upgrading to 3.3 my printer is exhibiting some strange behavior when reading the sliced gcode files from Cura. I've inspected the gcode output from Cura and found the issue. Near the end of each layer, Cura is instructing the hot end to move to an area of the print bed way outside of the model area and extrude nearly 2mm of filament, then drag that filament back into the model area and resume the next layer. This manifests itself as "worms" crawling out of the side of the print up into thin air. 

This problem is happening with all prints I have tried but for posterity I did a test with a 20x20x20 calibration cube into Cura 3.3, Cura 3.1, and Slic3r. Cura 3.3 is the only gcode output exhibiting this issue. I have included for reference an image of the part, the gcode output from Cura, and screen captures of my print settings. The site won't let me upload video but I have also included a still frame from the video detailing the behavior. 

 

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. 

 

Thank You!

        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.
