Cura 4.0 thin wall - 3 layers

Posted · Cura 4.0 thin wall - 3 layers

Hi,

I'm trying to print object with thin walls (1.2mm - it is 3 layers with 0.4 nozzle). With default settings, Cura slice it to 4 travel moves. First three are regular print while last is just return to the start position over existing inner wall (I tried to describe it with first image).

 

As I read, the problem is in odd wall number and the suggestion was to try setting "Minimum Wall Flow" value to be great than 0 ("Compensate Wall Overlaps" should be checked too). Actually that did the trick and Cura removed unnecessary last move. The last problem I have are tiny blobs on inner layer (please see second image). This occurs on few layers which are not perfectly 1.2mm in width. I just want simple layer pass without retraction for this tiny dot that can cause under-extrusion on the next outer wall print.

 

I'm fighting with this for the last few days and changing model in FreeCad to overcame this inner wall dots. Somehow on special angle of model cone dots disappear but this is try-and-error process. Maybe there is some option that can filter such slicing irregularities.

 

Thanks in advance

        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.
