Feature Request to Ultimaker Cura Developers

[DWILLEMS26 0]

I love Cura. It has a lot of amazing features and has served me very well. I do have one request though... please fix the supports!

 

I request that the default for supports be at an angle greater than 45 degrees. It is pretty annoying that when supports are enabled that EVERYTHING is supported. 

 

I even get supports on a wall that is straight vertical with support angle set at 89 degrees. Then I put support blocker on ever single piece of the wall, and I still get supports on that vertical wall. Why do I have supports on a wall that is perpendicular to the bed, straight UP? With support blockers? 

 

it's just annoying. It won't keep me from using the slicer. 

 

Thank you for everything you've done! I love all of your work

Hey @DWILLEMS26,

 

Welcome to the Ultimaker Community 🎉

 

The support angle is different per printer and all printer definitions are contributed by the community.  Since Cura is open source, you or anyone else is more than welcome create a pull request to change the default value. 

 

It's hard to imagine that everything is supported because of this setting, it might also be affected by the Minimum Support Area and Enable Support Towers. 
 

Do you have an example project file for us?
It contains the printer and settings we need for troubleshooting.
