I have done some experimenting with setting different support structures but i think this is looking more and more like a bug in Cura.
I set the support type to zig-zag.
It creates a zig zag pattern in the previeuw and a settings comes up "Connect support zig-zags".
I review the settings panel and i see 2 settings. "Connect support lines" and "Connect support zig-zags."
When i select zig zags the "Connect support zig-zags" option shows up on the settings panel on the right side of the screen.
But when i select "Lines" as the support type the "Connector support lines" settings does not show up, even though it has been selected to show in the settings panel.
I will disable both settings and try a test print tomorrow to see if this fixes my issue.
IF this is the problem then there is a bug where "Connect support lines" setting does not show up when selecting the "Lines" type of supports.
And when it is still enabled in the settings the preview window in Cura (after slicing) does not show these connections and only shows regular lines.
Support lines turn into Support zig-zag
- 2 weeks later...
Alright, figured it out. For some reson "Limit retractions for supports" got enabled. Disabled this and now it will retract.
Printed with 20% supports which places them 1mm appart from eachother and the disabling of retractions turned this into zig zags. Disabled it and the zig zag is gone.
No worries.
