Layer starts mid-air

[bartek_kel 0]

Hi,

I'm trying to print a housing with M3 nuts embedded inside. However, Cura wants to start the first layer above the nuts in the air. Is there a way/setting to avoid this?

I'm using Cura 5.6.0 (I checked on Cura 5.7.0 but there is the same problem).

 

Thank you forall your  help!

You need to redesign your model. Even if it printed strictly outside to inside, the weight of that layer hanging in midair is just going to fall down because there's nothing supporting it.

 

I've done pretty much exactly this sort of thing myself: you need to chamfer above the hole so that each layer can overhang slightly further in to close the gap:

WOW, thank you for such a quick and precise advice! Now it looks great in Cura and I about to print it now.
