Posted · Spiralize Mode Default Settings?

I am using Cura 15.04.2 with my Ender 3 printer. I accidentally printed a spiralized spaceship at the wrong settings for my machine

- normally set at 0.4 nozzle, 1.75 diameter filament and shell thickness of 0.8 mm.

I started my print and a few minutes later went back into Cura to check on the maximum height of the model and noticed that the settings were set at:

0.5 nozzle, 2.75mm diameter filament and a shell thickness 0f 1.0 mm

Since it was printing ok, I decided to leave it alone and see what happened. To my surprise the spaceship printed great! I decided to print another one at the correct settings for my machine to see what happened. It printed ok as well, however the thickness of the wings and the overall thickness of the model was thicker than the one printed at the 0.5 nozzle settings described above!?? How is this possible?

I printed a third one at the 0.5 nozzle settings and as before the wings and overall thickness of the model is thinner than the 0.4 nozzle settings???

I have attached a couple of pictures - the one with the bit of filament at the tip is printed at the 0.4 nozzle setings...

      • 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.
