Infill doing a wipe after each line?

Posted · Infill doing a wipe after each line?

I've got a strange issue, Cura started doing this after an upgrade, I think it was after updating to v5.2 but I still have the issue in v5.3 and v5.3.1.

 

It seems Cura is adding some kind of long movement along my walls after each single line is extruded for infill, its causing prints to take WAY longer than they should and also causing some quality issues.

 

I've made a video of this issue here, would appreciate any help:

    That is a weird one.  It looks more like a combing move than a wipe.

    Load a model that shows the problem and use the "File | Save Project" command.  Post the 3mf file here and someone will take a look.

    It gets even weirder, I just opened the exact same STL and applied the exact same profile and I don't see the issue in the preview this time.

     

    I've have had this problem with different STL's though, it seems the Cura issue is maybe random? The next time the issue occurs I'll export and post the 3mf as you suggested.

    Computers are dumb, but they are predictable.  When the problem happens it's because some setting has told Cura to generate the gcode with those moves in it.  It could be something like "Avoid Printed Parts" when combing.

    I think you're right about it being a combing move, I think I managed to re-create the issue with another STL but the infill areas on this are very small so its really hard to see the movement in the preview as its such a fast and small movement.

     

    I'm using "not in skin" which I think was the default, I had noticed in general my movements seem to be long and overly complex a lot of the time. I changed it to "within infill" and the movements seem much better and the print time went down.

     

    I've got a lot of unique parts I'm printing over the next few days so I'll check each one to try and find a good example of the problem which I can use to export the 3mf.

      • 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.
