Support Material Slicing Issue with Cura 4.3

Hi there,

 

I've got that following issue with cura 4.3 (using Ultimaker S5 Printer)

The model i want to print is standing on 4 feets (as you see in the screenshots below)

 

Model 1:

Model 2:

Now.. the base of the model which stands on the 4 feets obviously needs to be supported.
Im working with the standard printer settings except the support structure setting, with is set to

 

Generate Support: YES
Support Extruder: Extruder 2

 

The first layer of the models base is layer 20. So the last support layer is layer 19.
I expected the layer 19 to be a "full" printed support layer (so that the models base is supported correctly).
What the cura 4.3 slicing output is, is the following screenshots (model color: red).

 

cura 4.3 layer 19 (what the..?!):

cura 4.3 layer 20 (...can't print on air..):

With cura 4.1 i installed a later version and sliced again with the same settings (pic 5, model color: green)

 

cura 4.1 layer 19:

So .. is this a known issue? Are there any mistakes i did?

 

Thanks
Timo

    Hi everyone,

     

    Update:

    - the problem reacts to the setting "Support Horizontal Expansion"

     

    If i slice my acutal file with the following settings, i get the following results

    0   =>   no print on air

    1   =>   print on air

    2   =>   print on air

    3 (default)   =>   no print on air

     

    For my initial post, i'm 100% sure that i used the default settings

    For my last post on feb.27 im not sure about the "Support Horizontal Expansion" setting

     

    So now that i described the problem and even served a possible solution, i hope for some more reaction.

     

    will keep you updated...

      • 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.
