Cura 13.11 - shell-thickness = nozzle-diam.

Hi

I have discovered a problem in Cura 13.11:

When the nozzle diameter equals the shell thickness the slicer does strange things like leaving out walls on the 0.4mm test cube ( http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:52946 ) or making no walls at all...

Workaround: set the shell thickness to 3.99 instead of 0.4.

    Is Shell thickness Problem solved!? I dont believe...

    Try printing an Object with Shell thicknes of 2mm in Cura 3.10 and compare it with 3.11. It's not working correctly...

     

    Looks the same to me. Are you using the same nozzle diameter on both?

    I forgott... I always use a multiple of the Nozzle Diameter for the Shell... (so it's 2.4mm, not 2.5mm)

    If this is really a Problem... why not "autoadjust" the Value to the next lower valid Value, which is a multiple of the Nozzle Diameter?? There ale already Values that give YOu Feed Back when a Value is not correct/valid...

    If you guys are going to report a bug Daid is more likely to look into it if you provide a screen shot of the layer view that demonstrates the problem along with explaining what you set nozzle size and shell to. If you make a little extra effort, then maybe Daid will also.

    This.

    You're putting a lot of guess work for me here. You just went from 2.0 mm to 2.4 or 2.5, your problem description is vague ("not working correctly" without telling what "correctly" is in your view)

    You're also acting like it's a well known problem, while it's the first I heard about it.

    Sorry. I wasn't following this thread.

    Here is a screenshot of Cura slicing the 0.4mm calibration box from this thing:

    http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:52946

    (i have stopped pursuing this routine since it doesn't apply when using Cura)

    cura leaving out walls

    This should be a box with four walls instead of three.

    I used 0.4mm Nozzle diameter and 0.4mm shell thickness.

      • Introducing Universal Cura Projects in the UltiMaker Cura 5.7 beta
        Strap in for the first Cura release of 2024! This 5.7 beta release brings new material profiles as well as cloud printing for Method series printers, and introduces a powerful new way of sharing print settings using printer-agnostic project files! Also, if you want to download the cute dinosaur card holder featured below, it was specially designed for this release and can be found on Thingiverse!

      • 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.
