Cura 13.06.4 support material issue

[hreedijk 4]

Hello all,

When I use Cura 13.06.3 and/or 13.06.4, I found a strange suport material issue.

I've set the support material amount in Cura to 30%, the place of the support material, in relation to the object, seems misplaced.

Anyone has the same issue?

Regards,

Harold

Hi Harold

The cooling fan mount in your printer looks cool, is it available on thingiverse? Appreciate if you can share a link for download.

Thanks

The support in Cura 13.06 has some issues. The 13.10 release has a totally redone support material implementation and does not has the "material hits object" problem. You can get a preview release of 13.10 here: http://software.ultimaker.com/Cura_closed_beta/

Hello,

 

Will we be entitled to a beta version for Linux 64 and 32 bit?

 

Thank you.

Alex.

I usually wait with linux versions for the full release. Because there are only a few linux users, and about half of them are running from source anyhow. Release should be out today, it nothing odd happens (so might be tomorrow ;-) )

Okay, okay, there's no hurry!

 

Especially since I think Linux model, re-directed and focused my work on Windows.

 

So the limit is not annoying.

 

However, if we had 64-bit version, it would be better for me because need to switch from PC!

 

Take your time, a well-designed app is an app in the future and make jealous competitors and detractors.

 

Cordially.

Alex.

Sorry to reply to my own post so late, but I almost forget about it because I made this post in June.

Nevertheless, thank you Daid for your reply, I already use the newer versions since 13.06.4 where those support lines don't hit the object itself.

I must say i really admire your work, I've programmed a few years myself an I know how difficult sometimes it can be.

Keep up the good work!
