New Cura Brim Setting: Smoothing

Posted · New Cura Brim Setting: Smoothing

Hey guys,

 

I tried to print with PP-Filament and because I knew that I would get some adhesion problems I printed with a Brim.

The problem with the Brim is, that there are some corners on the outside... These corners made it harder for the print to stick on the built plate.

I discovered the Raft setting "Raft smoothing" and that would be a perfect setting for the Brim as well.

You could regulate the outer corners and I think it would get easier to print PP for example.

 

Looking forward to hear from you

 

Felix

    The first picture shows my model with a brim.

    As you can see are there sharp corners, which won't stick to the built plate when you're printing with PP.

     

    The second picture shows the same model with a raft and the Setting "Raft smoothing" activated.

    This setting rounds up the outer corners and it gets easier to print.

     

    For me it would be a nice feature to round the corner of the Brim like it is possible with a Raft.

        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.
