· Designing to optimise the extruder path
There are tiny gaps between the parts that make up the model. Computers aren't smart, but they are accurate. Cura is noting the gap and correctly splitting the part there.
Go back to TinkerCad and make sure that the individual pieces are flush face-to-face and then do the boolean "Merge" or "Join".
This is in MS 3D Builder. I zoomed in as far as I could. The gap allowed me to paint the surface on one side red.
Here is the other side of the big end. You can see that the radii aren't tangent to the straight edges either.
Because the model is not "homogenous" the Cura Mesh Tools can split it into parts. If it was assembled correctly it would be one entity and this could not be done.
So...back to the drawing board.
The left one is my rework, and the other is your original.
Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.
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.
