Cura Not Generating Supports

Post by Robaire »

I'm using the Cura slicer within Repetier, however Cura refuses to generate overhangs for specific parts of a piece. Both over hangs are parallel to the print surface, but at different elevations. My current hypothesis is either the overhang is too small for Cura to generate support for, or because it is on the outer edge Cura doesn't know how to generate the support. Has anyone run into this issue/ know what could be causing the problem?

Here Cura is generating the support structure just fine.

Change your overhang angle, I bet that's it. You should have it set somewhere more like 45 degrees. Whatever angle you start getting sags is the same angle that you want the support to start.

No matter what overhang angle I use it refuses to generate the support material.

Can you post the STL? Something is fishy.
