Posted · How to generate support ON the model ?

Hi everyone,

 

It could look like a simple question but I didn't find any results on the web for what I'm looking for.

 

I'll try to explain well : I want Cura to generate support ON the model. You know, if you generate support, Cura starts the support on the plate and then it goes up to the overhang part.

 

I don't want that.

 

What I want is supports generated ON the model, progressively just to support the overhand where it is. You can see my idea on those drawings I made very quickly.

 

The build plate is green, the model is black and the supports are red.

 

Am I explaining well ? Be free to ask questions if you didn't get it :).

 

Thanks !

    "Make overhang printable" could be perfect if the slicer wouldn't print this part as a shell, because it does so it's not possible to remove this part afterwards.

    I don't know how I could play with the tree option, do you have any ideas ?

      • 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.
