Hi guys,

 

I use Cura 5.3.0, Printer: Ender 3 max, and have this model (bottom view):

Which contain two domes (actually a flat surface on top of holes) that need support, when using "Support touching buildplate", as soon the first layer of the support is printed it's pill off from the build plate.

Normally I print with all default settings for PLA and never had issue. I tested to increase temperature from 200 to 205 degree, it's worse.

I tried Build plat adhesion > Raft: it's print incredibly well but I end up to throw the part away because no way to remove the raft.

Now I'm just looking a way attach the base support to the model like illustrated on the left hole in the picture, but look like support do not want to touch the model even if I add more support around.

I do not want to do more experimentation and wast more plastic I already did.

 

Any Ideas?

    I found it! I have to use brim and uncheck "Brim only on Outside".

        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.
