Features starting on the fist top layer

Posted · Features starting on the fist top layer

I'm having an issue with CURA where features that have been created are starting on the fist top layer of the part.  To be more clear.  I have a round "Plate" that I want to build a wall on top of.  Whats happening is when the slicer gets to the first top layer of the round plate it prints the perimeter and infill for the wall.  I would think that it should start this on the layer after the last top layer.  This would give the wall a completely solid surface to print on.

 

The reason I bring this up is I had a prototype where I set the infill to 10% and when it started to print the wall the corners where over empty space.  This created big holes in the top surface.You can see in the images that the infill has started to print at the very first top layer.  You can also see that the perimiter for the rectangular wall is over empty space.

 

Can this be fixed so that wall starts on the layer after the last top layer?

 

Thanks

        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.
