[Fingers are NOT supported by Cura]

Awesome!  I can't believe that it was that easy!  Thank you!

[Fingers are NOT supported by Cura]

Everyone,

 

This is an on-going issue!  How can we get the programmers for Cura involved?  Cura does not support fingers that point downward on the models.  I have attached TWO models that have fingers that point downward.  The fingers on BOTH models are not supported.  On both models, the fingers are printed in mid-air.  Please see the photo.

[Standing Baby Groot -- fingers are not supported]

Have you tried lowering the "minimum support area" setting to 0?

 

Thank you for the suggestion.  Unfortunately, it does not work.  This setting causes the support to be a single line up to the finger tip.  My printer is not able to print a single line straight up since the bed moves.

 

I am going to use the "Custom Supports" add-in that was recommended by a YouTuber called "Chep".  Wish me luck!  

 

 

 

 

[Standing Baby Groot -- fingers are not supported]

groot_w_stand.stlI am trying to print a standing baby groot.  Unfortunately, Cura does not generate supports for the fingers on the left hand.  I tried using a separate box with "per-model" support settings, but Cura still will not generate supports for the fingers regardless of the angle setting.  I have the latest Cura 4.3 slicer.  See attached. 

 

Thank you for your help!
