Narrow parts of an object

It seems to me that narrow parts are discarded by the slicing process in Netfabb. If I try to slice

I can see that the narrowest parts does not get extruded at all, leaving the arms hanging in thin air (unless this is only a problem with the preview window in Netfabb). Is it some way to adjust the tolerance for when Netfabb discards a tiny part or not?

    try changing the print profile, and edit the line widths of the outer most parts to fine (or whatever the smallest is)... in theory this should bring back some of the small details...

    It's already set to "fine" in my "Ultra quality" profiles... whatever that means in terms of width... However, I found out that if I changed the "Width factor" from 100% to 5% it started creating g-code for those thinnest parts as well. How well it will look remains to see, but it seems like you steared me in the right direction. Thanks :-)

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
