Cura Cutting Off Larger Print Even With Room To Spare

Posted · Cura Cutting Off Larger Print Even With Room To Spare

Hey all, I'm trying to print a large object that for all intents and purposes should fit within my build plate with room to spare. However, no matter what settings I tweak, I can't seem to get it to print correctly. It always seems to cut off the last 5mm or so on one side of the print. I've tried:

 

- offsetting the object away from the cut-off side in cura

- altering the buildplate dimensions under "machine settings" to "trick" the program into thinking there's more room

- removing raft/brim/skirt

- disabling prime blob/line

 

The object is only 220.7mm on it's longest dimension, and the Ender is supposed to have a 235mm buildplate.  I know there is supposedly a "safety margin", but even a 10mm margin should still give me plenty of room.

 

I've verified that the print head and build plate are not hitting any mechanical stops. It appears that some software is cutting off the edge (it just prints a straight line as if it was cut off, rather than printing over itself like it would if there were a mechanical issue), and I can't for the life of me figure out why.

 

What gives?

 

Using an Ender 3v2, and Cura 5.1.0.

    Sorry to hear your having issues..

    However the "straight line" printing your referring to sounds like how Marlin firmware deals with moves outside of build volume depending on how it was configured.

    Simply stated. You build volume limits in your firmware have been set small than your physical build volume.
    This cant be fixed by UltiMaker Cura, its a limit in the firmware.

      • UltiMaker Cura 5.3 stable released
        In this stable release, Cura 5.3 achieves yet another huge leap forward in 3D printing thanks to material interlocking! As well as introducing an expanded recommended print settings menu and lots of print quality improvements. Not to mention, a whole bunch of new printer profiles for non-UltiMaker printers!

      • Here it is. The new UltiMaker S7
        The UltiMaker S7 is built on the success of the UltiMaker S5 and its design decisions were heavily based on feedback from customers.
         
         
        So what’s new?
        The obvious change is the S7’s height. It now includes an integrated Air Manager. This filters the exhaust air of every print and also improves build temperature stability. To further enclose the build chamber the S7 only has one magnetically latched door.
         
        The build stack has also been completely redesigned. A PEI-coated flexible steel build plate makes a big difference to productivity. Not only do you not need tools to pop a printed part off. But we also don’t recommend using or adhesion structures for UltiMaker materials (except PC, because...it’s PC). Along with that, 4 pins and 25 magnets make it easy to replace the flex plate perfectly – even with one hand.
         
        The re-engineered print head has an inductive sensor which reduces noise when probing the build plate. This effectively makes it much harder to not achieve a perfect first layer, improving overall print success. We also reversed the front fan direction (fewer plastic hairs, less maintenance), made the print core door magnets stronger, and add a sensor that helps avoid flooding.
         

         
        The UltiMaker S7 also includes quality of life improvements:
        Reliable bed tilt compensation (no more thumbscrews) 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi A 1080p camera (mounted higher for a better view) Compatibility with 280+ Marketplace materials Compatibility with S5 project files (no reslicing needed) And a whole lot more  
        Curious to see the S7 in action?
        We’re hosting a free tech demo on February 7.
        It will be live and you can ask any questions to our CTO, Miguel Calvo.

      • UltiMaker Cura Alpha 🎄 Tree Support Spotlight 🎄
        Are you a fan of tree support, but dislike the removal process and the amount of filament it uses? Then we would like to invite you to try this special release of UltiMaker Cura. Brought to you by our special community contributor @thomasrahm
         
        We generated a special version of Cura 5.2 called 5.3.0 Alpha + Xmas. The only changes we introduced compared to UltiMaker Cura 5.2.1 are those which are needed for the new supports. So keep in mind, this is not a sneak peek for Cura 5.3 (there are some really cool new features coming up) but a spotlight release highlighting this new version of tree supports.
