Excluding support from a certain area or past a certain height

· Excluding support from a certain area or past a certain height
Well you can probably change the "support overhang angle" to 80 and that should do it.
There is also a support blocker:
1) Create a cube model or download one from thingiverse. Just a perfect cube. Add it to your build plate.
2) In cura do "preferences" "configure cura..." uncheck "automatically drop models to..."
3) click on the cube and click on the 2nd from the bottom tool on left side and choose the last option: "don't support overlaps". This makes the cube a support blocker. Now you can use the move tool (top tool) to move it up and around and you can use the scale tool to change it's size and if you place it to cover any red surfaces (surfaces that are red in prepare mode normally would get support) then it will block support for that area. So you can make the cube small and skinny and tall and place it where the threads are.

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
