Posted (edited) · Cura 4.4 - How to "ignore/chop" model below buildplate?

This is the first time with 4.4 I've tried to remove the base of a model. I just moved it a few mm down, therefore a bit of the model hangs below the buildplate. No big deal I thought, but it refuses to slice in 4.4 like this.  How do I tell it to ignore that portion below the buildplate?

 

My interim solution was to use other software to split the model at the desired point. I'm hoping to find an easier just staying in Cura 4.4... Surely there's something simple I'm missing?

 

This is just the Benchy wave, but I thought it looked cool without the round base...

 

Thanks!

      • 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.
