Missing spot
I wonder why this print on my UMO keeps missing this one lone spot.

Re: Missing spot
Seems to me to be a combination of back lash and slight underextrusion. Check the overlap settings of your slicer. Cura?

Re: Missing spot
Yeah Cura 2.3.0
Default settings minus the retraction length, speed, print head temp and bed temp

Re: Missing spot
Here what it is, by default in Cura 2.3.0
Again, interesting that it was only that one spot

Re: Missing spot
Just to be sure. Can you check that x/y shafts (the thin ones that move the head) are perfectly square? Just in case.

Re: Missing spot

Re: Missing spot
How would I determine that? Is that the green color?
Here's a layer 1 screenshot with coasting on

Re: Missing spot
Repetier host and gcode.ws show the difference between print and travel moves.

Oh, yes, my bad. They are gcode viewers:LePaul wrote:Well I have no idea what those programs are...so I remain stumped

If only someone could invent something like a search engine for the internet...

Re: Missing spot
... or a search engine for gcode - a possibility to just view travel or print moves could help too... maybe as a plugin?

Re: Missing spot
You can also open gcode files with Simplify3D. The view will probably not work with feature types but at least you should be able to see the difference between travel moves and regular moves if you set the coloring to movement speed.
In my experience the interface of S3D is much nicer to work with than repetier host, and gcode.ws runs really slowly in comparison.

Re: Missing spot
You could just use your s3d to see the gcode. Coasting shows as no green and just travel move.
