Cura thin lines help


Recommended Posts

Posted · Cura thin lines help

Hello,

I'm new to Cura and am looking for some advice on printing thin walls.  The attached image illustrates the results of the slice with 0.4mm nozzle and 'print thin walls' option selected.  Is there a setting I can choose to force the tool path to print each letter as a smooth, continuous path rather than broken paths as it currently?

TIA

    Cura should be doing it as a straight line if the model has one line making the letter. Are the letters just one part or a collection of multiple parts. Also, what version of Cura are you using? 4.5 has some slicing improvements that may help.

    Hi @buglykitty thanks for the response.  The model was made in Sketchup so each letter is one part.  I'm using 4.5.

      • 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.
