Posted · Disabled support has been generated anyway

I prepared a test piece very small to check whether it would fit and I needed it without support, but when I printed it the support was there.

I thought I forgot to disable the feature so I carefully disabled it before printing the full part. After 6 hours and a lot of filament, I realized that the support was there again!
Unfortunately, removing the support weakened the part and three out of six hooks got broken.

Of course, next time I will run a simulation to verify what has been generated by the slicer. 😭

    If you could post the gcode file of the full part that might help see if there's anything funny going on. It also wouldn't hurt if you could post the Cura project file (.3mf, get it set up then go to File > Save Project) we could have a look to see if there's anything funny in that. Saving the Cura project file before you print something is good practice anyway because if you need to print another one it's right there, all set up.

     

    This isn't a problem I've heard of before so while I'm inclined to lean towards "you forgot to turn it off, or you switched to a quality profile which had it turned on and didn't realise" I like to give people the benefit of the doubt, so we can definitely have a look into it for you 🙂

     

    Just make sure you look at the simulation in the Preview tab (at the top of Cura) before you save a gcode file (although if you did and it didn't show supports, that's the head scratcher 🤔)

    I should still have it. This morning I generated it on Windows and now it is printing. I'm going to attach it later.

    Is it possible that if I do "new" the options are reset?

    Thank you for your quick answer! I appreciate it.

    Unless you load a project (which loads its settings), change filament type, switch to a different nozzle size, quality profile or printer (basically... do anything that isn't nothing), then the quality settings are saved when you close Cura and will be there when you next open it.
