Blocking Brim supports?

Posted (edited) · Blocking Brim supports?

I am pretty adept at Cura but I am struggling to work out if there is a way of blocking the Brim mesh. I generally create my own supports and blockers in Fusion360 then import them into Cura and use permodel tools to create my meshes. In the case of my picture here I want to create some 40mm feet that have a matrix of small feet with 2x2mm channels between them. I don't want a raft because of the amount of time and material but I do need a Brim for adhesion. I have tried tabs and converted them to Permodel>Normal model but I don't like them. So the problem I have is that when I add a Brim (as you can see in my picture) it fills all the channels in with Brim as well which makes it a faff to get out. So I made a blocker mesh with a 40x3mm disk and set it in so that it is level with the bed but it deosn't block the Brim thus leaving the small feet and channels clear.  I have the Brim set to the outside only but it still infills the channels.  It appears a Brim doesn't have the same atttributes as a support. Any ideas how I might overcome this problem?

        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.
