Cura Slicer top line outside of walls?

I have problem that Cura put top line outside of walls which ruins the outer surface quality.
How to get rid of this without modifing model?
Seems to be slicing issue.
There is some engraved text where this happens and I can get rid of it if I change the model slightly by adding chamfer to that place.

    The engraved letters must come very close to the top of the model.

    What is the height of the model?

    What is the dimension from the bottom of the model to the top of the engraved area?

    What is your layer height and what is the initial layer height?

    If you could post the STL file that would be good.

    No, the encraved letters are not close to the top of model.
    Model height is ca 70mm and error spot is at 47mm.
    Engraved text depth is 0.2mm.
    Print layer hights are 0.2mm.
    Unfortunately I cannot upload stl file.
    Anyway I solved the problem by modifing the model but it seems to be slicing error by Cura.

    It's good that you sorted it out.  I do a lot of lettering both inset and raised.  Sometimes there are issues but it has always come down to something I did, or something in the model.  I've found that Cura doesn't tend to make things up and that if I stare at the model long enough I'll have an "Aahhh, that's why" moment.

    Nice job on the font by the way.  It's not easy sticking them into curved surfaces.

      • 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.
