"Angled faces arenot sliced properly. There are gaps between layers. Wider gaps as more close to horizontal."
That's the nature of FDM printing. The closer you get to horizontal the farther apart the "steps" between layers get. The formula is TAN(90-Angle) * Layer Height = Step Distance. When the step distance gets farther apart than your line width the model starts to fall apart into strings as the steps don't get glued together. It happens on that model because the surfaces have no thickness. On a regular model there would be material below to fill in the gaps. It would still need support though.
If you have a surface or overhanging feature that just happened to be 26.565° from horizontal and your layer height is 0.2mm then the formula says: TAN(63.435) * 0.2 = 0.4. If your line width happened to be 0.4 then you need support because the outside wall extrusions no longer touch the one below.
Your surfaces are infinitely thin. If Cura doesn't slice right along the plane of the horizontal surface it could be missed and you get what you see. If you play with the "Initial Layer Height" you may find a number that allows the horizontal surface to be sliced. It still won't print as the whole thing is over air and so it would need support.
🚀 Help Shape the Future of Cura and Digital Factory – Join Our Power User Research Program!
We’re looking for active users of Cura and Digital Factory — across professional and educational use cases — to help us improve the next generation of our tools.
Our Power User Research Program kicks off with a quick 15-minute interview to learn about your setup and workflows. If selected, you’ll be invited into a small group of users who get early access to features and help us shape the future of 3D printing software.
🧪 What to Expect:
A short 15-minute kickoff interview to help us get to know you If selected, bi-monthly research sessions (15–30 minutes) where we’ll test features, review workflows, or gather feedback Occasional invites to try out early prototypes or vote on upcoming improvements
🎁 What You’ll Get:
Selected participants receive a free 1-year Studio or Classroom license Early access to new features and tools A direct voice in what we build next
👉 Interested? Please fill out this quick form
Your feedback helps us make Cura Cloud more powerful, more intuitive, and more aligned with how you actually print and manage your workflow.
Thanks for being part of the community,
The full stable release of Cura 5.10 has arrived, and it brings support for the new Ultimaker S8, as well as new materials and profiles for previously supported UltiMaker printers. Additionally, you can now control your models in Cura using a 3D SpaceMouse and more!
