Need help. Missing Top layer


Recommended Posts

Posted · Need help. Missing Top layer

When I am slicing my model on one of the models it is not adding the top layer on one of the models. If I drop the model count down to 2 it the top layer, but for some reason when I got more than 2 it starts taking away the top layer. I am using the Ender 3 V2. I added a picture of the what I am getting with the preview.

    1) Are these printing "all at once" where it prints one layer of all 4 parts and then moves up a layer and prints the next layer of all 4 parts?

     

    Or are you printing one-at-a-time and the problem is only on the final model?

     

    2) Cura has an amazing plugin to test your model to see if something is wrong with it and can repair a very few of the many potential problems:
    In the upper right corner of Cura click "marketplace" and make sure you are on the "plugins" tab and install "Mesh Tools".  Then restart Cura.  Now right click on your model, choose "mesh tools" and first choose
    "check mesh", then "fix model normals"  to see if that helps.  Cura doesn't fix most issues so...

     

    My guess is that your normals are backwards on the top surface.  Maybe.

     

    3) If #2 doesn't fix it, then please post your project file: go to menu "file" "save...".  The resulting file contains not only your STL but the scaling, positioning.  Also it has your machine (printer) settings, your material settings, your profile used, and settings that you overrode.  Please post that 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.
