incomplete layers, U3E

Posted · incomplete layers, U3E

Hi, anyone got thoughts about this effect?  This is a recent phenomenon, Ultimaker 3e and PLA filament- some layers don't seem to print properly, especially the outer ones. The really wierd thing is that the 2 prints on the left were 1 print run, the 2 on the right a second run from the same printer file, so the error was perfectly reproducable across print runs. I attach screenshots of the original freecad object, of the freecad .obj imported into cura (4.6.1) and of the gcode re-opened in cura -these all look absolutely fine and running through the layers in the reimported gcode nothing seems wrong.

 

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

        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.
