Cura not slicing entire model

[selvinkuik 0]

Hi guys. I'm having an odd issue that I hope is something simple I'm just missing. I'm trying to print this model: https://makerworld.com/en/models/615378?designId=615378#profileId-538769

 

I've got everything prepared in Cura 5.8.0 (screenshot, project and gcode files attached). Note the height is reading at 152.5mm.

 

However, my print is stopping "short" at around 80mm. I'm sure Cura is doing what it's told but maybe I've sliced my project wrong, I just can't figure out why. Any help would be much appreciated!

The gcode for the file includes all 763 layers with the nozzle reaching a maximum Z of 152.6mm so there's nothing wrong there. The project file you provided isn't exactly the same (it's missing the... handle? printing separately in the front) but it doesn't seem like any of the print settings have any major problems, so no problem on the slicing front.

 

How are you printing the file? The best way is generally straight from the memory card in the printer.

And what happened? Did the printer just say it was completed at that point?

How many times have you tried?

Also, I'm sorry, but gotta get the stupid questions out of the way: given how much filament that uses (hint: change Infill > Infill Pattern to Cubic Subdivision) it didn't run out mid-print did it?

 

Also worth noting: If you've only tried it once, the filament might have clogged somewhere mid-print (I've had that happen).

Ah apologies, I removed the handle before uploading as was trying to share the bare minimum.

 

I'm using OctoPrint to print the file. The readout on the printer said that there were 762 layers to print. It printed all 762 layers and then stopped, pretty much as if it was a successful completed print. I haven't touched the printer since it stopped, I've attached a better photo showing the readout and you can also see there's plenty of filament. I also just tried heating up the nozzle and pushing some through, there is no clog.

 

Only tried once so far. But the reason for posting and not touching the printer is that I was going to try to restart the print from the layer it has stopped at. But when I went to edit the gcode, as you say, it looked like it had printed everything it was told to print so then I thought it was a Cura issue.

 

Very confusing! P.S. Thanks for the infill tip!

Do you know if the printer was trying to print after the point it stopped (head moving around in midair not extruding)? Still trying to figure out if it might be a problem with the printer, something going wrong during the print, or the software controlling it (I use OctoPrint on a Raspberry Pi model 3B and it generally works pretty well).

It didn’t try to print after the point it stopped, no. It stopped exactly how I would have expected from a successful print. Agree though, this setup has always worked for me. Never come across this problem before 🤷‍♂️
