Cura 4.6.0 slicing hollow cylinder not as expected

Posted · Cura 4.6.0 slicing hollow cylinder not as expected

Hello community,

 

I've created a hollow cylinder with a wall thickness of 1,2mm. My nozzle has 0,4mm in diameter. As you can see there are lot of terrible marks on the surface. Furthermore in my understanding, if i set the wall line width to 0,4mm and the wall thickness to 1,2mm, the wall should be printed with three lines as infill. But thats also not the case. What am i doing wrong?

 

Thanks in advance!

    I've been having a similar issue where there are a ton of unnecessary travels printing cylinders.  I'm running 4.6.1 but also tried 4.4 and 4.3 and had the same issue.  I loaded your STL to compare and noticed if you disable "Compensate Wall Overlaps" the surface roughness disappears but there is still a lot of unnecessary travel.  Changing the combing mode affects the pattern of movements but I can't find any combination that slices as expected.

     

    ("test" is from your test.stl file, "tube_test" is the project I was using, which is a larger cylinder.)

    Thanks @gr5!  It looks like the development build definitely addresses the behavior somewhat but not totally.  However, going through my preferences more, I found changing "Z Seam Alignment" to "Shortest" (instead of "Sharpest Corner") or changing "Seam Corner Preference" to "None" (regardless of seam alignment) seems to totally fix it in both the dev build and in 4.6.1, at least a for a simple cylinder.

      • 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.
