Posted · Cura creates top layers within the model

For some reason the 4.13.1 seems to create top layers inside the model. This did not happen before the update. I am sure there is a setting that fixes it but I can' t find any. The layers just above the weird top is not connected to the faulty one but floats one layer above it.
I have not tried printing since it is a 3 day print that might turn out bad. 

 

Does anyone know what is going on?

    It is hard to know what we are looking at without seeing the model and your print settings, but I blame your model. It may not be "manifold", which confuses Cura.

    If you want a better diagnosis, please save a project and post a link to it here.

    I would be super happy if it was the model, but it is thoroughly checked. No errors. It happends to a few other models as well. Like there is a limit to the height of the model. But ill post the project file, and I am super thankful for any help 🙂

    "...but it is thoroughly checked. No errors."

    You should have a talk with your checker.

    From  https://formware.co/OnlineStlRepair:

     

    --> 0 Naked edges (?)
    --> 0 Planar holes (?)
    --> 0 Non-planar holes (?)
    --> 586098 Non-manifold edges (?)
    --> 390147 Inverted faces (?)
    --> 0 Degenerate faces (?)
    --> 780879 Duplicate faces (?)
    --> 0 Disjoint shells (?)
    -> Repairing: 100.00%
    ----- Repair completed in 39429ms ------
    -> Vertex count changed from 195368 to 196569 (+1201)
    -> Triangle count changed from 781464 to 393134 (-388330)

     

    After opening the file I checked the model with @ahoeben's Mesh Tools and the "not watertight" warning came up.  I exported the model as an STL file and uploaded it.  MS 3D Builder also noted defects in the model and was able to repair it (but the formware site gives a report).

    I've attached a repaired file.
