Sporadic layer height changes during print

Posted · Sporadic layer height changes during print

I hope this is just a one time fluke with my printer that might simply require rebooting it. I always use Standard Quality printing for layer height of 0.2 mm. All my past prints, when I monitor the display, I clearly see the layer height change in increments of 0.2 mm. (o.2, 0.4, 0.6, etc, etc...)

 

Today, I am getting all kind of random layer height changes. The base layer went down as 0.2, but then after that, the layer changes were in increments of 0.24 mm, (0.2, 0.44, 0.68, 0.92, 1.16, 1.4)  but then it's sporadic, and in some cases the layer change is only 0.16 mm. (1.88, 2.08, 2.4, 2.56)

 

I don't believe I selected anything unique in my CURA profile that I haven't been using all along. What might cause this flux in layer height?

 

Thanks you,

Robert
