Posted · Z-Seam Alignment shifting and not perfectly vertical

Hello dear 3d print masters!

 

I've been strugling against a very weird problem with my z-seam on a cylindrical part...

 

it doesn't matter what i do the seams do not align perfectly layer after layer...  by a unknow reason, the shift right, then shift back, and the shift again, also, each layer has a shift of a small distance, resultin in a diagonal seam. 

 

It can be seem on the Preview screen according to the image attached.

 

I turned coasting on so that we could better see it on the display screen, but the problem happens even with coasting off!

 

As it can be seen below, no setting on the z-seam parameters seems to affect this weird behavior.

 

Using Cura 4.3, but the same has been hapenning since 4.2.

 

Retraction is on, retraction between layers is on, coasting is on, wiping is on... but the same happens with all these off..

 

Any suggestion on how i can perfectly align the z-seam?

      • Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        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.
