Cura- Perimeters don't touch

[Gow 2]

Hi all,

 

I have been using cura off and on for the past year or so but haven't used it in quite a few months. I came back to it and my last settings which worked, no longer do and I cant seem to figure this issue out. It mostly occurs on holes but the perimeters don't touch. Besides not touching, the holes look horrific. With S3D and Slic3r, i can print the models just fine, but there's something off when I try it with cura. I've uploaded a few pictures for you to see. Unfortunately i have recycled the worst ones, and kept the best ones, but the issue is still present.

Things ive tried:

Increasing/decreasing flow

Speed/accel/jerk adjustments

Different filament

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks!!!

Are these pictures of the top of the parts?  Or the bottom of the parts?  If mixed, which are which?

They are all top.

Is there a chance what you're seeing is the perimeters starting on a hole, causing a bad foundation?

 

It's a topic that was being discussed on GitHub, but kinda got shot down by the development team saying that good holes on top surfaces are not a priority.

 

I'm hoping with a more unified voice, we can generate enough interest in the topic to get the developers interested.

I don't think that's it since S3D and slic3r often start new layers with holes. Post a link to the github discussion, I will certainly look into it more.

Thank you for your comment!

This is not QUITE the thread I was talking about, which I cannot find.

It's going a little testy, so commenting should be with a light touch - but the information is solid. I've seen the same issue on basically a number of circumstances - printing on top of nothing leads to trouble.
