Setting minimal size of suport

Hi.

 

How can I limit minimal size of support structure to avoid generatind supports in limited spaces? For example, can I limit size of support 3 mm width or length, if I need avoid priting support in narrow space of 2 mm? I need it to avoid printing narrow unstable support structure inside of my model.

I have found "Minimum support Area" in Support settings, but it is not exactly, what I need. 

 

Thank you for your support :)

    If you would post a 3mf project file (File | Save Project) of your model and Cura settings somebody could look at it.  Sometimes Support Blockers work and sometimes particular combinations of Settings work and sometimes it's a mixture of the settings and the support blockers.

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        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.

      • Ultimaker Cura 5.6 stable released
        Cura now supports Method series printers!
         
        A year after the merger of Ultimaker and MakerBotQQ, we have unlocked the ability for users of our Method series printers to slice files using UltiMaker Cura. As of this release, users can find profiles for our Method and Method XL printers, as well as material profiles for ABS-R, ABS-CF, and RapidRinse. Meaning it’s now possible to use either Cura or the existing cloud-slicing software CloudPrint when printing with these printers or materials
