After extruding / removing, slicer adds extra wall

luiz_intiniluiz_intini Member Posts: 2

Hello everyone! I designed a 18650 battery holder, but I decided to remove part of the wall to save time and filament. However, when I export that part to STL, Cura slicer adds an extra wall for some reason, exactly at the bottom of the semicircled part. I tried every seeting in Cura 5.7.1, to no avail.

I normally don't use Prusa Slicer (and not very familiar with it) but this time I tried. It looks better in Prusa Slicer 2.8.1.

Anyone here had the same issue? Thank you!

    ooh i see, you have a Cura problem. I was looking into the onshape model and figured Cura and Prusa are slicing it just fine, but it seems there's a bug in Cura that causes a step in the rib widening it at a certain point.

    That's very weird. I'm not sure this is the proper place to ask that question though, since the issue is not Onshape related. can you find a 3D printing/Cura forum to post this?

    Does it behave differently if you use STEP instead of STL? Bambu Studio (based on the same code) can handle STEP. This avoids certain tessellation artifacts.
