Large Phantom Base

I can't figure out what I did, or how to undo it.

Now every time I import and object into Cura,m it has a large phantom skirt-like object.

 

This is not the skirt or the brim. it is something else.

 

The result is that I am very limited in the size of what I can print because if this phantom skirt goes outside of the standard print area, Cura won't create a gcode.

Also note that if I keep things small and everything fits, this phantom brim does not print.

Any ideas?

thanks,

tim

    I guess it must be something somewhere in your design that has such a big shape? Maybe a part way out of view on top?

     

    Or incorrect printer head-size settings, or an incorrect printer, so it thinks it has a very large print head? So it will stay clear of the edges, to not bang the head into the wall?

     

    Something along this line of thinking?

        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.
