Custom Supports not working in small area

[nospoon99 0]

Using Cura 4.4.1. Having trouble getting custom supports to work fully. As you can see in the picture I have 2 areas created for custom supports.

 

 

After slicing:

 

only supports are being generated in one area.

 

I am guess it has to do with the small area for the supports. Here is a picture of the gap:

 

 

I am pretty sure a setting under support is messing this up. The gap is about 3mm. Here are my support settings (Note: generate supports only click so you can see the settings, I sliced with this turned off):

 

 

Notice anything that would cause supports to not be generated in this small area?

 

Thanks!

After some more tinkering, I figured it out. In order to have custom supports to be placed on the model (as well as on the build plate) I had to have the support setting set to Everywhere. The missing supports showed up after this.

 

In the end, this didn't produce the desired result as I didn't want supports inside the model. So I ended up enabling supports "Everywhere" and then using the support blocker instead to prevent supports inside the model.

 

Hope this helps someone else.

Thanks for this, never thought about these settings affecting the custom supports.
