Posted · Cura fills internal hole

Good morning all. I'm trying to print this simple piece but when I slice it the internal hole gets filled by Cura as if it didn't exist.

 

The model is watertight.

 

I tried also to disable Union overlaping volumes without results.

 

Can somebody point me in the right direction?

    Well I see no red in your xray view which is great.  so it's the "normals".  Each triangle in the STL file has a "normal" which tells cura which side of the triangle is air and which side is solid part.

     

    I have 18 solutions but it would be easier if you told me what CAD you used.  Or if it you got this from someone else.

    Ah.  Okay - so just run it through a repair service.

     

    netfabb free repair service is here (you have to create a free account first):
    https://service.netfabb.com/login.php

    Here's another service - drag and drop mesh repair service:
    https://3d-print.jomatik.de/en/index.php

     

     

    Also - don't use raft.  Ever.  It's an old technology that is only needed with obscure materials like PEEK and even then shouldn't be used.

    As this model doesn't have any issue as well as I don't have any problem to slice it. I think you have activated in your profil the option Mesh Fixes-> Remove All Holes.  Uncheck this option to get the right result

    An other origin to your issue can be in the section Experimental  -> Make Overhang Printable

    Thank you so much, this was the issue. I may have left it checked when I was toying around. 😄

     

    Have a nice day!

    @cuq - nice find!  I guess we should have asked him for his 3mf project file!

      • UltiMaker Cura 5.3 stable released

        UltiMaker Cura 5.3 stable released

        ArunC posted a topic in Ultimaker Cura,

        In this stable release, Cura 5.3 achieves yet another huge leap forward in 3D printing thanks to material interlocking! As well as introducing an expanded recommended print settings menu and lots of print quality improvements. Not to mention, a whole bunch of new printer profiles for non-UltiMaker printers!
          • Thanks

      • Here it is. The new UltiMaker S7

        Here it is. The new UltiMaker S7

        MariMakes posted a topic in Official news,

        The UltiMaker S7 is built on the success of the UltiMaker S5 and its design decisions were heavily based on feedback from customers.
         
         
        So what’s new?
        The obvious change is the S7’s height. It now includes an integrated Air Manager. This filters the exhaust air of every print and also improves build temperature stability. To further enclose the build chamber the S7 only has one magnetically latched door.
         
        The build stack has also been completely redesigned. A PEI-coated flexible steel build plate makes a big difference to productivity. Not only do you not need tools to pop a printed part off. But we also don’t recommend using or adhesion structures for UltiMaker materials (except PC, because...it’s PC). Along with that, 4 pins and 25 magnets make it easy to replace the flex plate perfectly – even with one hand.
         
        The re-engineered print head has an inductive sensor which reduces noise when probing the build plate. This effectively makes it much harder to not achieve a perfect first layer, improving overall print success. We also reversed the front fan direction (fewer plastic hairs, less maintenance), made the print core door magnets stronger, and add a sensor that helps avoid flooding.
         

         
        The UltiMaker S7 also includes quality of life improvements:
        Reliable bed tilt compensation (no more thumbscrews) 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi A 1080p camera (mounted higher for a better view) Compatibility with 280+ Marketplace materials Compatibility with S5 project files (no reslicing needed) And a whole lot more  
        Curious to see the S7 in action?
        We’re hosting a free tech demo on February 7.
        It will be live and you can ask any questions to our CTO, Miguel Calvo.

      • UltiMaker Cura Alpha 🎄 Tree Support Spotlight 🎄

        Cura Alpha With New Tree Support 🎄

        MariMakes posted a topic in Ultimaker Cura,

        Are you a fan of tree support, but dislike the removal process and the amount of filament it uses? Then we would like to invite you to try this special release of UltiMaker Cura. Brought to you by our special community contributor @thomasrahm
         
        We generated a special version of Cura 5.2 called 5.3.0 Alpha + Xmas. The only changes we introduced compared to UltiMaker Cura 5.2.1 are those which are needed for the new supports. So keep in mind, this is not a sneak peek for Cura 5.3 (there are some really cool new features coming up) but a spotlight release highlighting this new version of tree supports.
