Issues with tree supports on Ender 6 Cura 4.13

Posted · Issues with tree supports on Ender 6 Cura 4.13

When using tree supports with the newest update of cura on my Ender 6 looking at the preview shows that the program is making supports that are half inside the print essentially mending the support into the print making them one piece and extremely hard to remove. I’ve linked both a picture of said issue and my settings! Hopefully someone has some ideas!

    This has come up before.  I can't remember if it got figured out or not.  With that model loaded in Cura and with Cura set up and ready to slice use "File | Save Project" and then post the 3mf project file here.

    When I slice it I'm not seeing any problems.  Can you post a screenshot of the problem layer(s)?

     

    EDIT:  There is a bug report on Github #11258 regarding this sort of behavior.  What operating system are you using on that computer?

    Here is a screenshot of a preview from 4.12.1:

    And here, same model and all other settings, profile, etc. on 4.13:

    Note the supports inside the model circled in red and the supports off the build plate circled in purple (I made a different post about this).

     

    This is Ender 3, Windows 11.  Note that I see a lot of strange things with my CAD programs on Windows 11 (OpenSCAD won't even run without hanging), but I haven't had a problem with Cura before 4.13...

    Here is my slice.  This might be the new winner of the "longest slice that completed" award.  This with Cura 4.12.1 and Windows 10.  At 86 hours it's one of the longest prints as well.  With my standard profile it's still 40 hours.

    There is a backlog item for this.

      • 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.
