That model has very few curves. Please try - as I suggested - a cylinder. Then we'll be able to see very quickly if the firmware you use has support for arc commands.
It works on cylinders, just with a model like this the lines appear jagged. Would you suggest to turn it off when there isn't as many curves? Sorry, let me get an example.
Edited by 3dprntzYou may want to try decreasing the value for "Maximum Arc Radius" to something like 1000.

Hi All!
I encountered a problem of blops when trying to print a cone on my Ender 3v2. Printing with 0.4mm nozzle, 0.28mm layer, 0.8mm width, of course with spiralize mode. Basing on this thread I installed arc welder plugin and enabled it in Cura.
Used the following settings:
-arc welder: yes,
-G90 influences extruder: yes,
-resolution (max path deviation): 0.1mm,
-path tolerance: 5%,
-Maximum arc radius: 1000000mm,
-allow 3D arcs: yes,
-Allow dynamic precision: no,
-firmware compensation: no
The print is going fine, but I see there is no constant movement of Z axis, the nozzle lifts the z-axis twice per rotation. One lift is with a stop, second is without stopping the rotation. So, yes, the blops are removed, but instead I get 2 seam lines. The first one (with a stop of the nozzle x-y movement) is quite ugly, the second one (without the stop) is still visible, but somehow acceptable.
Is this expected?
It is possible that your firmware does not support 3D arcs.

Will this be available for Cura 5?

I'm working on a plugin that wraps FormerLurker's command line version of the ArcWelder plugin originally developed for OctoPrint. The plugin attempts to reduce stutter by simplifying gcode. It analys

So, I wanted to mention two changes to Arc Welder: 1. Vase Mode (3D arcs) seems to be working well so far. I've printed several, and haven't had any issues However, I'd still love to ha

Thanks, but in this case the amazing work has been done by FormerLurker.

I ran one with and without. I usually always run it on my Marlin printers (UMO and UMO+) I only get these with very steep lines like in the picture. Other than that, I have no other issues with the plugin. Does it work also on UM3?
