Cura makes trouble (double line) with small surface object (or big nozzle)


Recommended Posts

Posted · Cura makes trouble (double line) with small surface object (or big nozzle)

I wonder if anyone can comment why Cura can't fill a thin wall with just one line between outer shell lines. It is always drawing two lines, back and forth. To make things even worse, when coming back with INFIL line, it doesn't reduce flow at all, even though there's totally no room for another line. Same problem is related to TOP/BOTTOM line. Cura just have to finish line by returning over it, with full flow regardless if there is space for another line. INNER LINE is making the same problem. Even if I use COMPENSATE WALL OVERLAPS, Cura is trying to add some dots and pieces which are actually not missing (but in some internal calculation I guess  there are microns missing), ruining print which would be perfectly good without it. After spending hours trying to adjust as many parameters I could think of, I found a solution in Prusa slicer. Prusa automatically adjusted filling line width/flow  and made instant excellent print. I would like to stay with Cura, to keep more adjustments which Cura brings with plugins and various settings, but this project is doomed in Cura. Please tell me, am I doing something wrong? Project is in the attachment.  Thanks!

 

Filament is PLA 1.75, Nozzle 0.8.

    Even if just "Fill gaps" is used, Cura produces some scattered lines, messing up the form. I can’t comprehend why reduced flow line (Compensated Wall Overlaps) has some “bubbles” along the path, reminds me on messed up PID controller, especially on a curved path. Nozzle goes around touching some points of the line, without much influence, except extruder/filament flow disturbance.       

    The best result I got with halved inner wall thickness. But then extruder flow can’t be regenerated in time to properly start full sized outer wall.

      • UltiMaker Cura 5.3 stable released
        In this stable release, Cura 5.3 achieves yet another huge leap forward in 3D printing thanks to material interlocking! As well as introducing an expanded recommended print settings menu and lots of print quality improvements. Not to mention, a whole bunch of new printer profiles for non-UltiMaker printers!

      • Here it is. The new UltiMaker S7
        The UltiMaker S7 is built on the success of the UltiMaker S5 and its design decisions were heavily based on feedback from customers.
         
         
        So what’s new?
        The obvious change is the S7’s height. It now includes an integrated Air Manager. This filters the exhaust air of every print and also improves build temperature stability. To further enclose the build chamber the S7 only has one magnetically latched door.
         
        The build stack has also been completely redesigned. A PEI-coated flexible steel build plate makes a big difference to productivity. Not only do you not need tools to pop a printed part off. But we also don’t recommend using or adhesion structures for UltiMaker materials (except PC, because...it’s PC). Along with that, 4 pins and 25 magnets make it easy to replace the flex plate perfectly – even with one hand.
         
        The re-engineered print head has an inductive sensor which reduces noise when probing the build plate. This effectively makes it much harder to not achieve a perfect first layer, improving overall print success. We also reversed the front fan direction (fewer plastic hairs, less maintenance), made the print core door magnets stronger, and add a sensor that helps avoid flooding.
         

         
        The UltiMaker S7 also includes quality of life improvements:
        Reliable bed tilt compensation (no more thumbscrews) 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi A 1080p camera (mounted higher for a better view) Compatibility with 280+ Marketplace materials Compatibility with S5 project files (no reslicing needed) And a whole lot more  
        Curious to see the S7 in action?
        We’re hosting a free tech demo on February 7.
        It will be live and you can ask any questions to our CTO, Miguel Calvo.

      • UltiMaker Cura Alpha 🎄 Tree Support Spotlight 🎄
        Are you a fan of tree support, but dislike the removal process and the amount of filament it uses? Then we would like to invite you to try this special release of UltiMaker Cura. Brought to you by our special community contributor @thomasrahm
         
        We generated a special version of Cura 5.2 called 5.3.0 Alpha + Xmas. The only changes we introduced compared to UltiMaker Cura 5.2.1 are those which are needed for the new supports. So keep in mind, this is not a sneak peek for Cura 5.3 (there are some really cool new features coming up) but a spotlight release highlighting this new version of tree supports.
