Posted · Missing middle section when slicing part on its side?

Has anyone has this happen before where the mesh looks fine, the CAD model looks fine, but then when slicing an entire section is missing!? What's odd is that when I slice him standing up the middle section is there--but still not part of the neck. Not sure what's going on!

    When the model orientation on the build plate affects the slicing the problem is often in the model.  The Cura warning states that the model isn't watertight and in X-ray view there are issues with the hat and neck as well as other places.

     

    Here is an STL file repaired with MS 3D Builder.  If you print this you might have to do something with the hat.  The interior is hollow and so there is no infill to support the upper cone.

     

    I might be inclined to print the lower portion without the hat (use a support blocker configured as a cutting mesh) and then print the hat separately and glue it on.  The hat requires a lot of support and it's tough to get the support over the shoulders.  The 3mf file isn't tweaked but it shows what I'm talking about.

      • Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        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.
