How to make the brim of a tree support larger?

[carlosgalvezp 0]

Hi,

 

I have a piece that needs supports. I am using tree supports because they are much easier to remove (at least on the PLA roll I use). The problem I have is that sometimes the trunk of the tree is too small, and I get adhesion issues, ultimately leading to the support snapping off the bed.

 

Question: how can I make the brim of the support larger, so that it does not get adhesion issues? I have tried the "Trunk diameter" and "Support Brim Width" options without effect, Cura silently caps it to a maximum.

 

Thanks!

Try changing "Initial Layer Diameter"

Edit: Needs to be used with "Trunk Diameter" because they won't reach the initial layer diameter if they're not trying to be that big to begin with.
