Horizontal Expansion Bug

Posted · Horizontal Expansion Bug

With some interlocking parts I needed to use the "horizontal expansion" to get a proper fit.
However there seems to be a bug in Cura 4.12.1.

The print time goes up quite a bit, for example 38 to 45m for just a expansion of 0.1mm.
Also it makes random speed changes when printing..... so what should be a constant speed of 60mm becomes some weird motion between 30  and 60!!

 

You can see a video of it here:

    A project file would be good.  Load the model and choose your settings then select "File | Save Project".  Post the 3mf file here.

    The speed will be reduced whenever Minimum Layer Time comes into play.  The default is 10 seconds and is to allow sufficient cooling for each layer.  A related setting is Minimum Speed.

    I looked at the video before I made my previous post.  Videos are interesting but don't give any real information.  That comes from project files and gcode.  With only the video all I can say is "Yep.  That's how it looks ".

        (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.
