Printing issue after upgrade to Cura 3.6

Posted · Printing issue after upgrade to Cura 3.6

I got printing issue after upgraded to Cura 3.6. At last, I found that the problem is related to the initial layer. After upgrade, it added a setting to set the height of the first layer, so it raised the print head to 0.1mm, but it doesn't allow to set the first layer height as 0.0mm. This caused the initial layer not attaching well to the print bed. Any way to fix it or any work around?

    The initial layer height is meant to compensate for a non-flat buildplate. It is generally a good idea to keep it a bit higher than the rest of your layers. Lowering the initial layer height willmean that less material is extruded for the first layer, so you DON’T get better layer adhesion that way.

     

    To do what you wanted to achieve (squish the print into the buildplate), install the Z Offset plugin. That will allow you to move the whole print down into the buildplate a little, up to the height of the initial layer.

        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.
