Yeah support gets confused sometimes but not to worry - you don't need support there (maybe you don't need it anywhere can can turn it off).

 

You can disable that support with the support blocker feature yet still allow support on other features:

    Thanks for the reply.  I used the support blocker on that entire area and the support still shows up.
    Do you think that's just a display issue in the software?  

     

    There are some areas that do need support so I can't turn it off.

    The support blocker needs to cover the red area at the *top* of where the support goes - where the support is supporting.

     

    Is that clear?  Don't put the support blocker where the support is - put the blocker where the "roof" or "overhang" is that is "red" in PREPARE mode.

        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.
