skirt bug?

Recommended Posts

So I used Cura 4.4.0 to slice https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3057351 for my Ender-3 Pro (0.15mm, 10% infill, supports on), and was surprised when the object was printed over the skirt on one side! Not a big deal in this case - I snipped it off, and it's on the under-side, so not visible... but this seems like a bug? The skirt should go around the widest points on all sides of the object... ? (yeah, I have some calibration stuff to get dialed in too, but I don't think this is a calibration issue)

    The bug(s) are in the model. The skirt goes under the model because the base of the model is not flat. If you lower the model into the buildplate a tiny amount then the skirt goes around the whole model. The model also has other issues as you can see.

    Hmm. I did notice that it was not flat on the bottom .. but it was close enough that the skirt became part of the object. Maybe the skirt should consider any overhanging areas that are within a certain elevation of the base? I accept that it's a buggy model, though - thanks!

        (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.
