Cura create strange holes in a very thin volume

Posted · Cura create strange holes in a very thin volume

Hi !
 

I would like to print a surface with a thickness of 0.4mm.
I created an object with the property that every slice give a path with at least 0.4mm thickness, but Cura makes strange holes in it (see joined picture).

Does somebody has an explanation ?

    Surface makes it thicker (0.8?).  I haven't been happy with any setting combinations.

     

    Scaling it to 102% worked.  Remember to set the bottom back on the build plate.

    Rather than scaling it you have 3 other options I can think of immediately: horizontal expansion, print thin walls, change line width down a bit to say 0.35mm.

    Something to play with in the morning...

    Printed with 4.8 and horizontal expansion at .02 on the left.  Arachne with line width at .35 on the right.  .4 nozzle at .2 layer height.  Ender 3 Pro.

    Measuring thickness - the Arachne print is .65 and the 4.8 print is .91.  It's hard to measure due to the bulbs on the ends of the lines.  The Arachne print has a line missing about 2/3 up and isn't as neat.  That could be the printer's fault as there isn't much material flow in that part.  The 4.8 print with more material in it and does look better.  Minimum layer speed 5mm/sec.  Using "Lift Head" made a mess.

     

    PS: @gr5, @ahoeben, Horizontal Expansion of .02 makes the wall .44 thick.  Scaling 102% makes it .408 thick.  Line width changes and Print Thin Walls didn't have any effect.  It's a fussy little bugger.

    I think @mercatp is not reading the answers here.  He just asked the same question over in the french area even though we gave him several good answers here.

      • 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.
