My Part Wall Thickness of 3mm does not translate into Ultimaker Cura properly

gfxfr33kgfxfr33k Member Posts: 6
My Part Wall Thickness ends up being 1.2mm.  I have the Voxelab Aquilla X2 the newer printer basically as clone of Creality Ender 3 v2.  Could the issue be related to since my drawing is based on line and not sphere for example the wall thickness will not translate the wall dimension in Cura?

Here is a link to my part link:

    Is your link correct?  It just showed me a list of my own documents.

    It seems that you've moved your doc to the trash - you'll need to restore it.

    On slicing: Cura should behave well with solid parts unless they're extremely thin. 3mm is a bit thin but should be well within the printability zone. Are you exporting solid parts? Usually you'd just export an STL - I'm curious how a drawing would be useful for this.

    The issue was on my end if my edge is 3mm for a sphere its actually 1.5mm need to make it mm if I want a 3mm wall thickness and that took care of this issue.  This was is a 2mm wall thickness need to make it 4mm wall thickness to get 2mm wall thickness.  I realize that even 2mm wall thickness is overkill don't need more than 1.5mm thick wall for this accessory.
