Tree Support alway has its trunk interrupted

Posted · Tree Support alway has its trunk interrupted

Hello all, first post here. Glad to have found the community! I am trying the tree support feature, that seems like it would be a great fit for the standing tall models, like the one on my picture. But I always have this one problem - the trunk of that support, as it were, is always broken in the middle. As you can see on the print screen - it goes up until a certain point, and then the diameter suddenly jumps, which makes the part of the support above it fail.

 

I have played with the the tree support settings, but to no avail - best I can do is to move the breakage point  up of down on the trunk, but it never fully goes away. I'll try post my settings, but I also tried to slice with the defaults - same result. 

 

Is there anything I can do?

    If you were simply having the issue with one model I would suspect that corrupt topology that's confusing the slicer, but because you say it's "always broken", I'm assuming with different models, I suspect this may not be the case.

    Either way, this looks like a bug that may have been fixed by now, but if not you'd probably need to provide a model that has this issue for people to look into it further.

        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.
