Posted · ASAP: Holes in first layer in same spot on every print

I'm printing 3d face shields for the PPE shortage for our local hospitals, but have noticed a gap in the exact same spot when printing the same model over and over. That tells me it's happening at the time of slicing and not at the time of printing. The slicer preview does not show any gaps. What could be causing this issue? I've attached a screen shot of the slicer settings as well as the preview & finished product. I'm using an Ender 3 with a .8mm nozzle, Cura 4.5, and Hatchbox Orange PLA filament. Please let me know if there is any other info you'd like to help me troubleshoot this issue.

    You could try to increase the "Skin Overlap" (in the Shell catagory)

      • 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.
