Underextrusion at the start of first layer infill with Cura 5.2.2
Hey fellas!
I'm having an issue with Cura, when printing the first layer the start of the infill is under extruded. The issue is not present with Prusa slicer. Also, in Cura the issue only happens when the nozzle has to move to the infill position without extruding (there is no retraction!!), Cura A in the picture. When the infill starts immediately after the walls there is no problem, Cura B in the picture.
With Prusa Slicer there is no problem even if the nozzle has to move, and in this case there is even retraction. Because of this, I'm thinking that it's a problem with a parameter in Cura, but I don't know which.
Printer is a stock (but not for long...) Ender 3 Neo.
I tried changing flow, line width, retraction settings, increasing initial layer bottom flow, but it's the same. What parameter would affect this?
You're viewing a single thread.
Maybe some sort of Z-lift is enabled for transport moves and not printing moves?
Z hop is disabled, and there is no retraction based on the gcode and I was watching during the whole print as well. I will try printing with retraction disabled tho.
Is there a reason you're not just using prusa slicer since that works and cura doesn't?
I tried using it on some prints but for some reason the parts were warping and the dimensions were off. With Cura it was perfect. I have to note that I've been always using Cura and just tried Prusa, so I'm sure if I tuned every value it would be just as great, but it would be a big time investment.
