Standing Baby Groot -- fingers are not supported

Posted (edited) · Standing Baby Groot -- fingers are not supported

groot_w_stand.stlI am trying to print a standing baby groot.  Unfortunately, Cura does not generate supports for the fingers on the left hand.  I tried using a separate box with "per-model" support settings, but Cura still will not generate supports for the fingers regardless of the angle setting.  I have the latest Cura 4.3 slicer.  See attached. 

 

Thank you for your help!

    Have you tried lowering the "minimum support area" setting to 0?

     

    Thank you for the suggestion.  Unfortunately, it does not work.  This setting causes the support to be a single line up to the finger tip.  My printer is not able to print a single line straight up since the bed moves.

     

    I am going to use the "Custom Supports" add-in that was recommended by a YouTuber called "Chep".  Wish me luck!

    You can also try to increase the "Support Join Distance". Alternatively you can try the "Support Horizontal Expansion", but that would give you more support everywhere.

      • 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.
