Random holes/gaps appearing in model after slicing

Posted (edited) · Random holes/gaps appearing in model after slicing

I've been 3dprinting with Cura for awhile now, normally if I ran into an issue like this it'd be due to something like the model not being watertight. The weird part with this one is that this model prints perfectly fine at its regular scale, I scaled it down to 30% of its original size and as you can see in the images there are a bunch of gaps/holes appearing on the model after slicing, if I print it like this the model prints with the same gaps/holes. Is there a way to see what the cause of this is? How would I go about fixing it? I'll attach the project file as well as the stls (The stls are already resized, you do not need to resize them). Thanks!

    The cause of this is probably that the walls are too thin. You could use print thin walls. Or use Arachne, there I could slice it perfectly, because of the variable line widths. See here:

    I did some research after posting this and did try thin walls but it'd only print a weirdly shaped inner-wall and not the outer-shell like it's supposed to, but I was unaware of Arachne so I'lll look into that. Thanks!

        (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.
