Hello everyone! My first post here and I have a question about tree support in CURA 3.2.1.

 

After turning on the tree supports, some weird dots generates around layer 63 in the air. I tried unchecking the 'Show Helpers' box to make sure they are not coming from the model.

I have attached a few photos for reference. Anyone knows what is the problem here and how to fix it? Thanks!!

    Is there a chance your model has some seam in it? Check the object for holes in 3D builder or something?

     

    That won't fix the problem with the slicing, but it might make your print slice well enough to move on.

    Yes, poorly defined surfaces often trigger bizarre behavior when slicing. You can attach the STL here for others to check out, but bring it into a package that will check for and fix model errors (Win10 has 3D builder built in), see if it helps. Maybe try another orientation, too.

        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
