Cura filling holes in the model

Posted · Cura filling holes in the model

Like many of us, I am a new 3D ethousiast and want to make some custom things to learn.

 

I used Sketchup to create a silly keychain, but cura doesn't like it.

When displaying the object, it shows fine, as it should, but once I try to render it, it fills the entire keychain.

My logo just... disappears.

 

I did make other models without any problems, but here is the skp for who knows what I could have done wrong :)

Thanks,

    Hey @gr5 I did, and it should be fine.

    Cura even loads the model correctly, X-ray is fine too.

    Once I slice it, it just fills the entire thing.

     

    I noticed the problem once I loaded it into Octoprint.

    Here is what happened;

    Loaded it in Cura 3.5.0

    X-Ray view:

    Clearly this is loaded in the middle of the print bed.

    But once loaded into the printer, this happens;

    It loads in the corner, making it unprintable.

    Also it filled up everything.

     

    I did make models with Sketchup already, but this is very weird, and I don't think Sketchup is to blame here?


    Anyhow, thanks for the reply already, hoping to get this resolved ?

      • 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.

      • Ultimaker Cura 5.6 stable released
        Cura now supports Method series printers!
         
        A year after the merger of Ultimaker and MakerBotQQ, we have unlocked the ability for users of our Method series printers to slice files using UltiMaker Cura. As of this release, users can find profiles for our Method and Method XL printers, as well as material profiles for ABS-R, ABS-CF, and RapidRinse. Meaning it’s now possible to use either Cura or the existing cloud-slicing software CloudPrint when printing with these printers or materials
