Support structure only appearing on one side

Posted · Support structure only appearing on one side

Hi,

I'm trying to print a very small figure, I'm not sure whether it is printable on the U2 but thought I'd give it a go.

However, when I selected support structure within Cura it only prints the supports on one side. Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

Heres a screenshot link: http://www.dream3d.co.uk/uploads/support-structure-cura-error.png

Thanks,

James

    Since this is a small figurine you might just fall into the case where the support as not enough space to be created. Try playing with the support settings in the Expert -> Open expert settings.

    Or use Autodesk Meshmixer (free) to create your supports. In this case it will give a better result and reduce the used material.

        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.
