sliced file by cura made the Test file scaled at Z axis

[Asoneshkon 0]

Hello there. I have an issue with Cura Slicer. I'm a new user of Cura. I was a Simplify3d User, but I want to use Cura. I sliced a Cubic Test file with 25 mm at the base and 100 mm in height with no infill. it printed 106 mm in height. I Sliced and printed this file with Simplify and didn't have this issue. are there any specific settings for this like a setting for Step per unit or something like this that is making this issue with Cura?
( I checked the File Scale and it is Correct. when I open this G-Code in Simplify 3d or Cura slicer previews a 99.9 mm in height for the last layer but the printed model is 106 mm! )

I attached the G-Code File that cura sliced and a Picture for reference.

would you please help me solve this issue?

( I'm Using Cura 5.8.0 )

If you could provide a gcode file from Simply3D for comparison it might help. The gcode you provided seems perfectly fine, which suggests that the problem might be with the printer. The Z steps might be calibrated incorrectly (which can be adjusted in gcode, which Simplify3D might be doing).

Also worth knowing: what printer are you using?

thank you so much for replying me. i attached simplify 3d G-code too. I'm using my DIY 3d printer. the step per unit seems correct because it is working correctly when I manually move the Z axis and measure it.

Both go up to Z99.9. The only appreciable difference between the two is that the Cura one moves along the Z axis at 10mm/s whereas the Simplify3D one moves at 8.3mm/s. Is it possible your Z motor is skipping steps trying to move faster?

 

If you download the "Printer Settings" plugin from the marketplace it will add an extra section at the end of all the quality settings with settings for the printer - somewhere in there should be a "Max Feedrate Z" (can't confirm exact name or that it's there - but it should be - because I'm currently computer deprived), try setting that to 8mm/s and see if that makes a difference.

 

Edit: Also noticed that the gcode from Simplify3D uses "G1" commands for all moves whereas the code from Cura uses the more "de facto standard" of using G0 for travel moves and G1 for extrusion moves. Shouldn't affect most printers at all (in the specs, G1 is just an alias for G0) but if your printer is custom built it's not necessarily "most printers".

added bit about G1
