Gaps in shell after slicing


Recommended Posts

Posted · Gaps in shell after slicing

I downloaded a piece off of thingiverse and have noticed these gaps after slicing. I have been trying a variety of things but believe I had the most success with horizontal expansion. Anyone else have any tips on why this happens? Could it just be the model I downloaded could have been drawn and extruded differently?

Thanks in advance, Will

    Also found that "Outer Wall Inset" of .2mm is very effective. Not exactly sure what it does but here is the difference.

    Though it appears to be "solved" in cura, the print came out very uneven and blemishy.

    Any other ideas?

      • 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.
