Supports are printing in mid air

Posted · Supports are printing in mid air

I'm trying to print a model using supports for overhangs greater than 45 degrees. There are supports placed on top of the model to support overhangs above, but the support isn't connected to the model at the bottom of the support. This seems to be the case where the the support is placed near vertical walls or when the support is placed on a radius? If I print, the support is printed in mid-air above the model and you know what happens from there. Is there a setting to make sure that the supports are connected to the model on the bottom of the support?1549162116_ScreenShot2020-06-23at8_30_56AM.thumb.png.70e3c48128ac21fc650ba29e8ee30e26.png723912616_ScreenShot2020-06-23at8_38_34AM.thumb.png.b9924f96bc98d193bec6ce039138ffc9.png2044634670_ScreenShot2020-06-23at8_36_01AM.thumb.png.42989d3f9979721c6f740a725407f1f0.png

    Do you have z overrides x/y enabled ? I think you would need that.

     

    Can you provide a project file? Do File -> Save and attach the .3mf file to this thread. Thanks.

        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.
