Cura not layering correctly and removing sections of design

Posted · Cura not layering correctly and removing sections of design

When I put in the STL file into Cura it works fine until you go into layer view and it shows the top inset circle as filled in/not there at all. Any help? (In the layered view the top face on the lower section of the design isn't shown to be there when looking at the top layer but when you go down towards that layer it appears, so thats a bug I know about).

    Probably the layer view is right, it's just showing the movments the printer is going to perform.

    I had some slicing issues solved by try turning off/on options in the Expert settings, in the Fix Horrible section.

    But the model is meant to look like the original view and the layered view says that it won't have that top inset circle which is the problem.

    So if the model is not right in layer view it will not print right, that's what layer view is for..  try to solve it with the fix horrible like Ultibrain says.

    What CAD software did you use? Skechup is famous for creating .stl's with errors.

    If you used Sketchup have a look at the fee "Design Spark Mechanical"  (just google) which is much better for 3dprinting.

      • 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.
