My workplace has recently upgraded from Cura 4.9.x to 5.2.2, and I've noticed weird supports being produced. Is this due to some sort of optimisation of the support engine, or is this a bug?

 

4.9.x

5.2.2

Note the area beneath the tips of the dragon's dear, as well as the strange horizontal slices of support around the tip of the nose

    Hey @MakerspaceAuckland,

     

    Welcome to the UltiMaker Community 🎉
    I think you might be seeing this.

    The new Cura 5.3 Stable contains quite a number of support improvements. 
    Could you test if that's the case for your model as well? 
    You can download it here: https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/releases/tag/5.3.0
     

    If that's not it, I'll need a little bit more information from you.
    Do you have a project file for us? It contains the printer and settings we need for troubleshooting. 
    To save a project file go to File -> Save project.

        ArunC posted a topic in UltiMaker Cura,

        Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.

      • Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        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.
