Weird behavior of Tab+ extension

[Geckoas 1]

Because os the height of 105mm of my vacuum nozzle, decided to use Tab+ to get a better adhesion to the bed.

In addition, I had chosen 5 Brim Lines.

 

During printing the first layers I was surprised that the tabs, printed outside the Object didn't have contact to the object as wanted.

There was a gap of approx 5mm between the outside tabs and the object.

Thatwhy the tabs have been totaly useless.

Also this tabs have been printed very thick, which wasn't neither intended nor wanted.

 

Despite this, the object had enough adhesion to the bed, so the print was finished succcesfully, as you can see in the picture.

 

I guess, whether I made a mistake with parameters of the Tab+ or if there is an error in the Tab+ extension.

Comments welcome.

Bug.. Share your project for analyse ..  

 

And WorkAround solution in this case Use just a Brim and if you want to get a Brim with Several multiple layer use the postprocessing Script Call MultiBrim provided with this plugin.

Even if you should not use the Tab in this case ( no need to use it) it's certainly an issue with your settings . On a basic similar case there is no issue.

Yes looks like a Bug or a Feature ? Don't know how the developpers of Cura will consider this result coming from Cura 5.3 Beta.  

 

Unchek the option "Brim Replaces Support"  to temporarily solved this problem.

 

This new behaviour looks like linked to this Parameter + a New one Call Brim Inside Avoid Margin.
