Worse quality on newer Cura versions

Posted · Worse quality on newer Cura versions

Hi, I use Cura to print on an Ender 3. One year ago I made a print with great results, now I'm trying to remake the gcode but can't get the same quality. I share with you the comparison on Cura:

 

 

This is the old gcode, look at the detail on the M:

This is what I get now:

The drop on the M on the second version is not 90 degrees, so when printed, it gets soften out:

The thing is that the outer shell on the older version is printed without interruptions, but in the newer version everytime the wall retracts and contacts the wall behind the printer stops depositing material, making the outer wall not continous.

 

Better explained in this pictures (old left, new right):

When I activate the "Spiralize contour" option, the detail comes back:

So the problem seems to be the interruption of the outer layer. How can I change the settings to make Cura not interrupt it?

 

Thank you.

        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.
