Posted (edited) · one support layer of 0.2mm not working
Hello everyone,
 

I'm trying to print just a single layer of support at 0.2mm.
It only works if I adjust my model to a clearance of 0.4mm, but I want as little clearance as possible around my print.

 

Current Settings:

  • Support Z Distance: 0mm
  • Z overrides X/Y (just in case)
  • Support infill layer thickness: 0.2mm
  • Minimum support area: 0.0mm²

 

I've tried dozens of different settings, but I can't seem to get it right.

Is it possible to print a single layer of 0.2mm support with Cura, and if so, how?

 

Thanks in advance for your feedback!

    Load the model, set Cura up to slice, and use the "File | Save Project" command to create a project file.  Post that 3mf file here and someone will take a look.

    I didn't have any trouble generating .2mm support with the model I used.  The gap has to be over 0.20 and it must be at a height that is being hit by a slice.  If the top of the surface is at a number like "10.35" then it just might be getting ignored as it might not be "within" a layer.
