Tree structure not supporting small areas entirely leads to filled print

· Tree structure not supporting small areas entirely leads to filled print
This is a model that really should be 3 or 4 separate pieces that would be glued together. As a single print, it's tough.
The STL file is "not watertight" and the errors in the file can effect the way Cura sees it and slices it.
When first imported the bottom of the model is not flat on the build surface. Use the rotation tool to "lay flat".
When a feature starts over support, and is very fine, then you need to keep playing with the settings until you get the minimum XY right, the XY overrides Z, or Z overrides XY, Minimum Interface Area, (etc.) correct for what you are trying to do.
This is an image of the first layer that appears for that hanging feature of the model. You can see that the settings are correct to provide support and an interface to hold the start of the print...barely.
The attached 3mf file contains a repaired model. Pay close attention to the ALL the settings as they are what I like and may not be what you like.
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
