Fusion Additive Tool Paths not Aligning to model in Z

I was recently playing with the Fusion Additive suite for FFF. I can print fine and the process is fairly straight forward. My issue is that Fusion is not creating the correct tool pathing for the model given. This effects the process for the print down the line. I have a work around, but it is annoying to have to go that route. Posted are pictures for reference.

 

The issue is that Fusion is not adding in the last layer of the print for the top most surface. I am assuming that it is doing the same for the rest of the model, but it is more difficult to determine. My model is 57mm tall at the end shown in the picture. The print on the other hand is only 56mm tall. The layer height I am using for the first layer and the rest of the print is 1mm. My thought is that the tool pathing algorithm is flagging that layer as not having enough space to fit the model due to some rounding issue. 

 

The fix to this issue is to oversize the model in Z by about .01% and re-position it on the bed, but this feels so bad. I have sliced this model with all the same settings in Simplify3D with no issues. If this can be addressed, that would be fantastic!

 

Thank you.

Hello @anthonyAQNZ9 

 

Your pictures are not enough to diagnose your issue.

It can be related to the model, or the print settings, eventually a bug.

Can you share your file?

Have a pleasant day.

I cannot share the models due to restrictions on them. I sliced a cube of the same height and it did work. This leads me to believe it is the model and potentially a bug in the software. Without the ability to share the model, I guess this will just remain the case. Just need to keep track of the overall print height during slicing.

Hi @anthonyAQNZ9 

 

just for information, have you modelled the body in Fusion, or has it been imported into?

If it has been imported, was it a solid body, or only surfaces, or STL?

 

I hope you won't have this issue too often.

 

Regards.

This was imported from another software, but it was a solid body with well behaving surfaces as I can tell.
