Brim on the inside of a print

Posted · Brim on the inside of a print

If you look at the enclosed picture, I am trying to print a model with a thin base pattern. The print failed because it popped off the bed. I want to print it with a brim but it is only placing a brim on the outside of the model (teal colour is the brim, yellow is the base of the model) while I want it on the inside as well. I know there is a setting in Cura 4.4.0 under "Build Plate Adhesion" called "Brim Only on Outside" but I have this disabled.

 

Is there any way to force Cura to put brim on everything that touches the build plate?

 

Thanks

    I works for me when turning off "Brim Only on Outside" you must have some other settings overriding it.

    Try and upload it as a Cure Project.

    As an alternative, you could always design your own custom brims and supports in CAD. And then switch them off in Cura. This can be usefull for complex shapes or special requirements, for example if you need way more brim on one side, but not on the other side, or if the brim needs to have a special shape to get in with tools to make it easier to remove.

    I would like to thank you for your responses. It has been a while since I have had to browse through the settings and I made a boneheaded move. When I was looking at the list of settings under "Build Plate Adhesion" after clicking the gear icon, I mistakenly though "Brim Only on Outside" was disabled because I didn't see a check mark beside it. When in fact that was the visibility setting I was looking at. After making it visible, it was in fact enabled so disabling it fixed everything.

     

    So used to looking at numeric input I guess the double boolean threw me off.

      • 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.
