Bug in the tree supports code

Posted · Bug in the tree supports code

There appears to be a bug in the tree supports code. I run into the problem regularly but it seems somewhat random - sometimes reslicing even with the same settings fixes the problem.  The problem is that the diameter of the support sometimes changes between two layers, usually an increase I think.  In the example below the increase is small but large enough to cause the print to fail.  Usually I notice these and they are fixed if I slice again with some small change in settings.  In this case I changed a setting and then changed it back and the new slicing didn't have the problem.  In this case it was small enough that I didn't notice it until the print failed.

 

Because of the randomness it is hard to reproduce consistently so it will probably be difficult to fix.

        This update is for...

        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.
