Cura spiral mode first vase layer

Posted · Cura spiral mode first vase layer

I have a problem with vase mode (spiral), after the base of my print job has been printed it starts with the wall but it looks like the first layer of the wall is not done in spiral mode but as a conventional layer, it doesn't ramp up, so basicly it gets squashed when the second layer is printed. I have seen other slicers start spiral with low matrial and increase as they go along so that next layer has corret space to print plastic. Cura doesn't, it prints a standard layer (not progressively increasing) so that when second layer comes around there isn't enough space for it and it get squashed.

Hope my problem is clear, if anyone could help and needs more details please ask.

 

I am printng with a dyze pellet extruder with 3mm noozle.

 

thans in advance,

 

Corrado

    Hey @HighFreq71,

     

    Welcome to the Ultimaker Community 🎉

    Your request reminds me of this feature request we have on our Github.
    https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/issues/11590

     

    One of our community members has made a Fork of Cura that has functionality that tapers the flow at the first and last spiralized layers. It can also modulate the spiralized wall width if you have a suitable model.

    Is that what you are looking for?
    You can read more about it, and how to get that special version of Cura on the Github.

    Hello, thank you for your answer. We will test that but is a 3 years old release. Why don't you correct the problem in the base software? 

    I don't think is a feature request, it is a bug correction, using vase mode it squashes the firwt layer on every print, i doubt there is someone that likes it the way it is now.

        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...

        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.
