Why do these walls have non-uniform slicing thickness that occurs in-line with cutout features?

I am trying to print a simple coupler piece, however, when I slice it the inner hole diameter is not consistent. The incongruity occurs level with the side hole for the thread insert. I have the same problem with a bracket piece that has a side cutout for a rocker switch. Any ideas? I have been searching for a while and can't find anything on this. Thanks

    Hey @bbarham,

     

    Welcome to the Ultimaker Community 🎉

    I recognize your issue, it's related to your hole horizontal expansion. 
    The parts of the cylinder where an O becomes a C are not expanded because they are not considered to be holes. 

    Do you require the holes to be bigger? How important is dimensional accuracy for your model?  
    Can you solve your problem in CAD or just with horizontal expansion?

      • 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.
