Posted · Cura buildplate adhesion when model not touching buildplate

Hi, im using Cura 4.0 (tested also same thing on 4.1 with same problem) with Prusa MK3. I found a problem when orienting my model so it is touching the buildplate only with small part (corner) or not touching at all.

In this case it seems like the print settings of skirt and brim are taken from support print settings (thatis my guess what happens) lines are thin and dont adhere to buildplate so it makes to fail whole print. I didnt find any workaround so far (teste support brim, brim only for model etc..).

There is printed skirt on first picture - it is not sticking to buildplate. Model orientation in picture 2.

    Your issue is that you aren't squishing the bottom layer enough.  Squish is the most important thing to keep your part sticking to the build plate.  If it was properly printing the bottom layer they wouldn't come apart like you show in the photo.

     

    I don't know how to alter the leveling on a prusa but if it has auto leveling maybe you need to turn that off and stick with manual leveling.

    Hi my first layer is normally working fine, it works with same settings in cura when the object is touching buildplate, this problem appears only when i put the model to corner so first layer contains only supports

        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...

        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.
