print only shell, not walls

Post by cla68 »

Hello, it's first time I post in this forum. I use 3d printer since three years, just for hobbies. I have a M3D and then I got a Mooz2. M3D has its own slicing software integrated. I have a simple model (attached) which I successfully printed with M3D. Now I try using Cura (3.2.1). Here attached settings. For same model printed I get only outer shell, no walls, no base thickess. May I get a help? thanks.

I checked your model on my system (same Cura), and the only way to get it to do what you are saying is if I have Spiralize Outer Contour enabled under Special Modes. Check that setting.

Yes, the option 'Spiralize Outer Contour' is enabled. So, I should disable it and re-try, correct? thanks :-)

It works, thanks!
I do not know Cura in details. One question: in my model posted there is a small hole in vertical, at the mid of a simple cylinder, a sort of glass. The layers printed at the same height of hole are not very good, those printed inside the part. I wonder if I could test some alternative settings which could get rid of such 'faulty' layers.
