Support Z distance problem

[arianna 0]

Hi,
I'm trying to print this model which needs support in the upper part, the supports should be based on the model itself but even setting Z distance to 0 a significant gap remains between the model and the supports, not allowing me to print correctly... any idea what the problem could be?

Hi and welcome

 

I think you also need to adjust support X/Y value due to the slope.

 

My first example Z is set to zero and X/Y default Cura calculated value

Adjusting X/Y value will close the gap.

 

(I wouldnt go to zero gap though, usually difficult to remove support then)

There's a lot of good tips on tuning the Cura support on this page.

Try and take a look at the 

* Support distance priority and

* Minimum support x/y distance
