Size of smallest printable line?

[gr5 2,172]

That seems like a quite a workaround. Should I open an issue for this?

 

No! The thin wall problem is very well known and understood. Cura is much better than other slicers that I know of for thin walls.

Instead you should either print thicker walls or get a smaller diameter nozzle.

Or write a whole new slicer. e.g. Cura insists on 2 passes but can get very close to your shell thickness but kisslicer which only insists on one pass does a much worse job on thin walls. Cura is actually pretty amazing how well it handles thin walls.

If instead you leave the nozzle at .4mm and set the "shell" thickness to .3mm you can get some decent results with hardware that "shouldn't be able" to print that thin.

Hi,

 

Ive been working with cura to print very thin fibers. As I have progressed towards smaller and smaller fibers (now .09mm and .06mm diameter needle/fibers), Cura has given me trouble rendering the file to .gcode. My current solution is to increase the size of imported file by a certain percentage, generally around 300%. Obviously this is not ideal since I want to make the fibers as small as possible. I was just wondering if the fibers are too small to be printed by cura or if anyone has any suggestions. I also attached the .stl file I am currently working with. 

 

Thanks for your help in advance!
