Hi All, 

Im Erik and im new here.. 

Over the last couple of days I think I have run into a strange problem with (what I believe has to do with Cura) induced deformations of shapes. Are more people experiencing this? In the image below, the left two parts are fusion 360 design and section, to the right two of the results. In Cura though, the object seems identical to the fusion design.

Any info or help as to whats causing this greatly appeciated!

Thanks

Erik

    What does the layer view look like in Cura, does that match the shape of the model? I'm betting it does.

     

    This feels more like a printer issue, like an error with the z-axis such as having the wrong step setting for the z-axis. Knowing what type of printer you have will probably help.

      • 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.
