Layer thicknesses are not equal.

I have tried to print this three times and I have checked the preview in cura ,  counted the number of layers it should print.  but it does not print it  even if it does it  in the simulation.

The other surfaces are correct. only last top surface that is wrong.

    That's the Ultimaker Format Package file.  When loaded into Cura it looks correct with the top surface being 12 layers thick.  Without a project file there is no way to tell if there might be something else going on.

    When I slice it the preview shows 20 top layers everywhere.

    Open the Gcode or UFP file using Cura ( I think Cura will open a UFP but I'm not sure).  A separate program reads the file and Cura itself has no idea of how it was sliced.  So that preview of a gcode (or UFP) file will show you what should print.

     

    I do have a program to read Gcode Files into AutoCad and completely remove Cura from the loop.  It will not read a UFP file.  I don't think my utility will be of any use in this case because you probably printed from that UFP file.

      • 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.
