Printer and Gcode Print Parallel to Support

Posted (edited) · Printer and Gcode Print Parallel to Support

I have about 2 centimeters of support holding up a large flat section of my model. Cura layer view shows the extruder moving perpendicular to the supports like it should. The printer and gcode are printing/showing it moving parallel to the support making the support fairly useless.

 

How do I handle this?

    What is shown on CURA should be the instructions that will be in the gcode sent to the printer... Seems like a bug to me.

    What are you using to see what the printer will do and find the difference between CURA and the gcode?

        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.
