  1. Hello kmanstudios, on my geometry here its less of a struggle to use the inbuilt generate support material algorithm as you suggest it. Slicing, settings per object and aligning it back again worked like a charm and reduced printing time drastically. thanks and thumbs up for the horizontal expansion tweak, nice!
  2. Hi gr5, thanks for your quick response. Shame that such a functionality has not been implemented yet. would be super useful. I figured out later that this has been asked in 2013 already...https://ultimaker.com/en/community/4388-reducing-support-structure. Anyway with the possibility of dual extrusion i am now trying a workaround by modelling my own support geometry using Tetgen, a volumetric tetrahedral mesh generator with adaptive density control in various bounding conditions. Meanwhile, i hope this can be useful to others too. PS. its exciting to be part of this community now. cu around
  3. Dear Community, seems that the first post did not work. Again my question: In my model i would like to be able to limit the support material to a predefined height in z axis. e.g only 10mm from the bottom plate and then it should stop for obvious time saving reasons. In many cnc programs there is a chance to set a plane which prevents g code from being generated. Is there such a "banal" functionality that i unfortunately cannot find in cura 2.7.0?. I was already fiddling around with some of the experimental support settings. none of them seem to do just that. thanks in advance ao
