Hi,

Great to finally see something new in terms of support material, but I don't think this is going to work very well. The primary reason is that these are just a bunch of lines. If they fall (and they will!) you're entire print is ruined. It also causes massive amounts of retraction that adds to the total print time.

In good old Skeinforge, there was a similar support material, but it was clever enough to connect the lines at the ends. Not every end, but every second, so that the extruder did a single zig-zag motion to create the support. This enabled you to keep a higher speed while printing the support.

I'd very much like this feature changed to implement this support in the same way Skeinforge did. Being able to set how narrow/sparse to make the support would also be nice.

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

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        (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.
