Outer walls inside merged model

Posted · Outer walls inside merged model

I have a simple two part test cube from Printables (Twisted Dual Color XYZ Calibration Cube) that I'm trying to print on a Snapmaker J1. After assigning an extruder to each piece and merging everything looks good. But the slice preview shows Cura is still treating the interior walls of each separate piece as outer walls despite them actually being inside the model. Since I have outer walls set to print slower it's adding a lot of extra time. Should the merge feature eliminate these outer walls inside the model, or is there a setting I can utilize to help this? Using 5.3.1.

 

Regards!

    There are a couple of bug reports about this on GitHub.   Whether "Union Over-Lapping volumes" is turned on or off - they don't union but simply stay separate resulting in what you have there..

     

    Union Over-Lapping Volumes = Off

    Union Over-Lapping Volumes = ON with Remove Mesh Intersection off

    Union Over-Lapping Volumes = ON with Remove Mesh Intersection on.

    This looks like one block is acting as a cutting mesh.  There are still interior walls where I would have expected none.

      • 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.
