Cura 4.8 odd layer views

Posted · Cura 4.8 odd layer views

Cure is my "go to" slicer, however I ran across this strange phenomenon and do not understand what is causing this.

 

My part is manifold, I have checked and verified this via Nettfab. When looking at the layer(s)..there are gaps. (see images)

I've included that part stl, screenshots of the part pre and post slicing as well as the cura generated G code.

 

Can anyone tell me what's going on here?

 

Regards, Bart

    That was odd.  The 3mf file crashes my Cura 4.8.

     

    I have to guess then, and I'm guessing you have "Coasting" enabled and your preview is set to show extrusions.  There isn't any extrusion during that portion of a move that is the coast, and so you get a blank spot.

     

    It doesn't crash 4.7.  Yep, coasting is enabled.

    Thanks for the quick reply. I just re-checked my settings in 4.8. Coasting is not enabled. Matter of fact I do not have any "experimental" settings on the "print settings" menu.

    There is a search bar above the settings.  To the right is a drop down menu where you can select "All" to show all settings.

    Or you can just Search for "Coasting".

    You had Coasting enabled when the 3mf file was generated.  The model will print fine (provided all your other settings are good).

    Well.....I see what happened. It seems I must have played with this in 4.7 but decided not to use it and made it "not visible" in the menu.

    When 4.8 was installed, it used the same profile that was in 4.7.

    In 4.7 it was no longer visible, but I never de-activated coasting apparently. Hence is 4.8 it was also active but not visible.

     

    I made it visible in 4.8 and deactivated it...Rookie mistake..thanks for the help in figuring it out.

      • 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.
