The attached STL file does not slice correctly. The first layer is just one line. The second layer shows the correct cross-section. Lowering the model in to the bed doesn't help. The first layer is still one line after slicing. I checked the model in Prusa slicer too, which slices it correctly, but I want to use Cura, not Prusa slicer (for various reasons).

 

Cura version is 5.2.2 on MacOS ventura. STL file was exported from FreeCAD.

    ...and that something was I had Initial Layer Horizontal Expansion set to -0.75mm. BTW I used the Profil Analyser (sic) plugin.

      • Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        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.
