So, anyone who uses the plethora of slicers available out there, have any of you noticed Cura underextrudes compared to KISS and Slic3r? I’ve tried modifying the filament diameter and extrusion multiplier, but even bumping the extrusion multiplier up 20%, I am seeing absolutely no actual increased amount of extrusion on the tops of my text cubes.
I dunno, but I seriously wish they had a dye swell % so you could say how much the lines shrunk in width compared to nozzle diameter. It would allow you to have Cura adjust the distances between the centers of the lines without changing nozzle diameter which should be constant, but is often changed to account for dye swell.
I’ve noticed it but thought it was me @ThantiK .
So I tend to slice in Cura and print in Reptier…although now that’s going commercial I will be looking at something else
We see Cura 14.01 (last ver we used) as under-extruding in general. So…importing Cura gcode into excel as space delimited for a 20mm solid cube. It does calc out to 120% on increasing Flow% from 100% to 120% as a function of increasing value of E-Step. Overall, we like the perimeters and reduced stringing, but solids are less than stellar.
I have not noticed Cura under-extruding compared to Slic3r, when I use the same filament diameter and filament extrusion multiplier.
Just to clarify, this is Cura 14.03 that I’m seeing this on.
cura-13.11.2-1.fc19.noarch here
Cura seems to slice everything pretty good for my makibox, while slicer seems to cover sone holes and introduce strings in my prints. Not sure if that helps any
This isn’t a Cura comment. Sorry
I have found that Slic3r 1.0 over extrudes by 30%. I changed nothing except upgrading the software. Very frustrating to have it work one day then not the next.
