How can I get Cura to print the grayed area? Print thin walls is on and horizontal expansion will mess with the piece as I need to fit other pieces into this print. (I'm on version 4.8.0) image.thumb.png.3370dcc5076887e5a4a82d6b307d6bb2.png

    I think it would depend on the inner geometry of the model.

    With the model loaded in Cura and the settings the way you like, use the "File | Save Project" command and post the 3mf file here.  Without a project file it is near impossible to troubleshoot.

    They are knife edges.  There isn't any way to slice those features out to the tip because their thickness approaches zero.  That's one of the limitations of FDM manufacturing.

    This is a slice with a .15 nozzle at 0.1 line width and .10 layer height.  You can see that it still can't get out to the tips.

      • 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.
