I don't know the answer. Just raising the temperature a bit will make the printer extrude a few % more and now support will bond more with the part.
1) There is a setting "support z distance". That is probably the crucial one. Make sure it is equal (or larger) to your layer height. If your layer height is 0.1 then support distance of 0.15 and 0.19 will not do anything different. But 0.2 will be more than 0.1. I very very rarely use support so I'm not an expert and not sure what 0.2 z distance means for 0.2 layer height - is it the very next layer? Or the layer after? You can ask cura by setting it to each possibility and checking if there is a "blank" layer in preview mode.
2) You can see what settings you have changed in cura from the default profile. At the top of the settings there is a box next to the word "Profile". In that box it should say "fine 0.1" or "fast 0.2" or similar. On the right side there is a star (if you have made changes). Click that star. In the box that pops up on the lower right look for settings that are crossed out (it means you overrode that setting with the value in the "current" column). And look for settings that are italic. Also click on the tab above that: "Extruder 1" and check those settings. This shows you what you have overridden in the profile.
In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
We are happy to announce the next evolution in the UltiMaker 3D printer lineup: the UltiMaker Factor 4 industrial-grade 3D printer, designed to take manufacturing to new levels of efficiency and reliability. Factor 4 is an end-to-end 3D printing solution for light industrial applications
