Why is this not being supported?

[Brakiss 0]

So I am trying to print a helmet on my E5+ and I cannot get cura to adequately support these horns. Prusa has paint on supports which is awesome, but I don't like the program. I have tried printing this with custom supports 6 times, all fail. What setting am I missing?

 

These pictures show just basic supports, I have not added custom ones in there. When I do add custom supports, there is 2 layers of air inbetween the support and the tip and thats where it fails when I add them.

Set Cura up with the model and your settings and then use "File | Save Project" and post the 3mf file here.

Off the top of my head (and from far away) that looks like a candidate for Tree Support.  I'd want to play with the settings though.  Sometimes it's the XY distance or you need to enable Z overrides XY.  Those tall skinny supports won't complete and whatever they are suppose to support will fail.

Well, the 3mf is 134mb and when it finally opened there was no model.  The file may have become corrupted.

 

You can try making a 3mf again, or post the STL file.

Actually, I could do it remotely, let me know if this works. See the horns have no support?
