Posted · Slicing holes, seem to be about a nozzle width small

I started a discussion in another location regarding some weirdness that I was having when attempting to create a 6.4mm hole and the hole was coming out to be 5.3/5.4 instead of the requested 6.4mm.. I enlarged the hole to be 7.4mm and it gave me roughly 6.4mm

 

It seems that others have found this also to be the case "as one member cited "it seems that a hole is always nozzle width smaller than requested".

 

This sounds like some slicing math or other, or that it starts in the middle vs the tangent..

 

Just be interested in hearing what the Cura programmers think about this and is there something that can be adjusted to get the holes to be requested size, when one is running larger nozzles.

 

Now note, the rest of the object was to spec, it was only the hole and obviously the top bottom (the sides of the hole, grew as the hole was made smaller than the stl required.

 

Would be very interested in if there is some computational changes or other to remedy this?

      • 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.
