3d printing, inventing, experimenting, they all go together. One of the unfortunate side effects of experimentation is that I sometimes get myself in trouble. I checked a couple of boxes in Cura, just to see what they did. Then I forgot about it. This made for an interesting couple of days while I tried to figure out why all of my holes disappeared when I sliced my model. Upon further research, it turns out that this setting does have a good purpose. Sometimes, designers will introduce internal cavities into a model to suit a particular manufacturing process. These don’t work well when 3d printing, so rather than forcing designers to remove all of the internal cavities Cura just included this button for them.
Cura is Removing All of my Holes!!!!
