Cura not allowing full print area to used
Cura does not seem let the full print area to be used. My printer is a Lulzbot Mini. The design illustrated below can be found here.
Hello @user! I edited your post to insert the link you provided in your comment.
Cura is likely factoring in your skirt. Change the skirt lines to 0 and you might be able to print. Cura also seems to have an in-built build size offset of about 2mm. I can't seem to get rid of it in any way other than to change the build size.
Where is the setting for the skirt?
Expert > Switch to full settings, then click the options button next to "platform adhesion type."
The same happens in MakerWare with a skirt and/or raft
Click the button next to the dropdown. You will find options for the skirt there. A skirt is not counted as a "platform adhesion type," apparently.
Setting "Start distance (mm)" to 0 fixed it. Thanks!
@Kevin: What do you mean by "in-built build size offset"? Does Cura change the size of a print? Or the position?
As in, Cura's *actual* computed print space is smaller than appears on the screen. Cura will change the color of objects that are larger than your print space and not slice them.
