To avoid a elephant's foot, a trick I've used in the past is to turn off "drop model to build plate" then lift the model a few millimetres and use support "touching buildplate" to lift the model away from the plate. In 5.3.1, I instead get very strange behaviour: no support is generated and the model is moved and may even be below the build plate. Here's a contrived example where I place the model several centimetres above the plate (Prepare view) and it gets and it gets generated below the plate (Preview view).

 

Is this a bug? If not, what am I doing wrong?

    It is a bug, slated to be fixed in Cura 5.4 as far as I know.

     

    As a workaround, disable supports, then find and unset the "Remove empty layers" setting, and re-enable supports again.

      • 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.
