I wanted to point out that it's worse than that though. It doesn't always match the object at all.. In this case, a standard 20mm cube offset slightly to not be on the platform then print with support. The skirt changes shape from square to triangle.
Skirt not matching first layer
I know this has been mentioned several times that the skirt doesn't always match the first layer.

Anyway, I tried on a couple objects to print a brim of several layers when I was experimenting with a small corner and sticking to the hot bed but I was unable because I couldn't get the brim to match the part. Hopefully a bug that can be squashed soon.

Re: Skirt not matching first layer
dennis thats an odd one. the skirt is usually a distance away when it doesnt match the base not going through the first layer like that. i have slices hundreds of models and i have never had this happen. can you post up the factory file?
Re: Skirt not matching first layer
It's easy to reproduce, just enable supports on the 20mm box. The model might not even need supports but with them enabled it breaks this way. Disable supports and the skirt prints properly.
Re: Skirt not matching first layer
dennis, i just downloaded your file, loaded into s3d, checked your process to make sure supports were enabled and it slices just fine with the skirt right where is supposed to be.
Re: Skirt not matching first layer
Well that's funky.. it did it every time before, but when I reloaded that factory file now it doesn't. Interesting. Glad I got a screenshot so I'm not crazy. If it happens again I'll see if there is something else unique to the setup not reproduced by the factory file.jimc wrote:dennis, i just downloaded your file, loaded into s3d, checked your process to make sure supports were enabled and it slices just fine with the skirt right where is supposed to be.
Re: Skirt not matching first layer
you got it. keep me posted
Re: Skirt not matching first layer
Lol, it did it the very next time I switched processes.jimc wrote:you got it. keep me posted
Re: Skirt not matching first layer
You know I actually see this all the time, slice an object with supports enabled but when you don't actually need any supports, that seems to be the key. If it doesn't do it just re-slice without supports then do it again with. Happens very consistently for me.
