New to 3d printing and Cura. I was trying out designing something by myself.  A cable organiser for my Cisco headphone.
I designed in Sketchup and sliced in Cura 4.8.0.

The STL opened alright and seemed to slice ok in Cura. I did not notice earlier that it actually added a whole addition fill in the centre of the cylinder when it sliced, until I was nearly finishing printing.

 

How and why did Cura do that? And how do I prevent it?
I tried disabling support but it did not remove the extra fill.

    I have figured it out. The problem started in Sketchup.
    I needed to delete a wall in between the vertical cylinder and the horizontal level in the design.
    Then when I sliced in cura, it came out correct. 😁

    We can close this one. If anyone has any queries, I am happy to explain further.

    Happy tu see you could solve your issue!

    Sketchup is easy to use and easy to eccess, but unfortunately there are very often problems with STL exported from this software.

     

    If you have some time to dive into CAD I would advise you to try FreeCAD or Fusion360 (There is a free option for hobbyist)

    Or if you are familiar with programming you could try https://www.openscad.org/

      • Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        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.
