Posted · Bug: Mixed Y/Z scaling after rotation

Affects Cura 4.7.1 under W64.

Method A to reproduce:

- Reset all model transformations

- Rotate a part 90° around X

- Disable uniform scaling

- Change Y % to 105%

 - (Wrong) Z also change to 105% and further increase by 105% each time it receive focus

 

Method B to reproduce:

- Reset all model transformations

- Rotate a part 90° around X

- Disable uniform scaling

- Double Y mm value

- (Wrong) Z % increases to 200% (it should be Y % at 200%)

    I think it's a glitch too.  Your problem with the Z scaling is because you rotated around the X.  If you rotate around the Y, and then make your transformations, then the problem moves to the X axis.  Kind of bizarre to say the least.  

     

    The workaround is to make the transformations BEFORE rotating the model.  I haven't had any trouble doing it that way.

    I took the liberty of adding this to Github as a bug report.

    What I'm seeing is that after you rotate the model about the X and then scale the model to 105% about the Y, the Z does indeed also say 105% - but the model doesn't reflect that (I used 150% to make changes easier to see).  De-selecting and then re-selecting the model leaves Z scale at 105 and the Y scale is at 100, but the model still looks correct.

    When you rotate the model first, and then non-uniformly scale the model then depending on which axis you rotated about, a different axis will appear to be affected as well.  Rotating about the Z and scaling in the Y will result in the X seeming to be effected.  The model still looks correct to this point.  Trying to straighten out the numbers in the dialog box results in a mess and at that point the model transformation cannot be reset.  The plate has to be cleared and the model re-loaded.

     

    Rotating as the last step in transformations appears to solve the problem.  When de-selecting the Uniform Scaling option, if a pop-up appeared and explained that rotation should be done last then that would have been helpful.

      • 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.
