Why Cura 5.1 printing beyond workpiece?

Posted (edited) · Why Cura 5.1 printing beyond workpiece?

I have been doing a series of stringing tests on eSun Silk PLA and noticed that for some reasons the nozzle travel is going well outside the workpiece. I am confused by this as it obviously makes the job take considerably longer and also causes unnecessary stringing. Have I missed a setting here somewhere? image.thumb.png.5886de8e7385321d29e3af3dc83292ca.png

    I have moved the workpiece to the center and the travel lines have moved accordingly . So it seems the nozzle is doing something that is aligned with the centerpoint on the X-axis. I thought maybe this may be to enable it to retract and extrude for the next layer? I have set retraction off and there is no difference. image.thumb.png.bb276a8508dc5ab3c0fd270bbe475536.png

    In the Experimental section see if you have "Wipe Nozzle Between Layers" enabled.

    Another setting that can give that behavior is in the Cooling section called "Lift Head".

    Yep thanks for that it was the "Lift Head" setting. I will see if it makes any difference to my print now... interestingly it halves my print time from 10mins to 5 mins...

        (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.
