I update to Cura 14.01 on Windows 7 64bit. In OpenSCAD i created a simlpe TestBox 2) with 40x40x10mm and a Shell (Wall) off 0.4mm. When Cura sliced it with the Settings in 1), the Result was like the Image in 3)

The resulting Print looked the same like 3). The Wall is 0.8mm instead of 0.4mm on the printed Sides! Is this a desired Behaviour or a Bug?

    Cura might have a problem with 0.4mm thin walls. There are some ways to get reasonable results for thin walled thin boxes etc. You have to set infill to 0. Thin walls have been a subject in the forum before, e.g. http://umforum.ultimaker.com/index.php?/topic/3044-problem-with-stretchlet-stl, maybe you will find other threads too.

    Cura currently only does fully enclosed contours. With thin walled sections it cannot lay a contour and sometimes will refuse to print anything for that section. I have no plans to change this behavior, as the problem is difficult, and there are only a few edge cases where it is a problem.

      • 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.
