Hi

no the built in support blocker is just a cube. 

I am not sure, but you can try if you can achieve it with the per model settings. You can create an object in CAD, put it on the build plate and then choose per model settings in the left menu. You can configure a lot of settings where the object overlaps your model, but I am not sure if you also can choose support blocker for it.

Yes, you can make any model a support blocker using the mesh type in per model settings.

Hi ahoeben

 

This thread is of course a little old but I have looked at your suggestion and cannot figure out how to do it. Could you perhaps elaborate a little how you can make any model a support blocker?

Hi all, 

This might be a stupid question but does anyone know where the 'support blocker' icon has gone in the new Ulitmaker version 4.7.0?

 

Currently these are the only icons from the left toolbar and be buggered if I can work out how to add a support blocker.

 

Any assistance greatly appreciated
