Cura has support structure (see picture), but UM3 does not print it.

I have both extruders on with Extruder 2 as the support.

 

The base is printed (in PVA) but no other support structure is printed.

 

I had a similar problem with another print where the support was printed for about 75% of the layers.

The top layers did not have support event though Cura showed it.

 

Why is this happening? Am I missing something?

    Do you have an image of how it looks when it didn't print? My best bet is that it's trying to print the PVA, but it has a blocked nozzle.

    Thanks.

    Yes. That is exactly what is happening. This is my second print with the UM3.

    Very surprised that the nozzle would block as this is a brand new printer using UM PVA!

    Just wanted to finish this off with a progress report:

     

    I had to unclog my UM3 with a needle. 

    I haven't had any clogging problems since.

      • Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        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.
