Drop Down Mesh Support Bug #19946

Open camuehring opened 5 days ago

camuehring commented 5 days ago

Cura Version

5.9.0

Operating System

Windows 11

Printer

Creality Ender-3 Neo

Reproduction steps

  1. Label Second Object as Support in "Per Model Settings"
  2. Hit "Select Settings" Button
  3. Scroll Down to bottom or near bottom and check box "Drop Down Mesh Support."
  4. Nothing happens. Which is the problem.

Actual results

Nothing Happens.

My custom made object serving as a support for another object is being given its own supports because of this setting which is making it unusable, and I cannot change the setting because of this bug.

Expected results

A box should have appeared in the "Per Model Settings" that could be unchecked to stop supports being created for an object already labeled as a support.

Thanks for the report. A project file would be really helpful to understand what's going on here. Use the "File | Save Project" command, then zip the 3mf file and post the zip folder here.

I can duplicate the problem. I can't get "Drop Down Support Mesh" to show up or function either. It just doesn't want to show up. I went back to 4.13.1 and there were still problems with this. I do remember using it so there must be an oler version that it worked in. Someone from the Cura team will take a look.

BTW - When I get models like this that have a lip all the way around that will need support, I usually print it in two pieces. If you alter the model by subtracting a couple of 2.2mm cylinders, you can make locating holes in the two pieces. Drop in a piece of filament and super-glue the pieces together. Here I've sunk one model into the build plate so only the top prints. The other model has a support blocker configured as a cutting mesh so the top part doesn't print. I subtracted two 2.2mm diameter cylinders as locating holes. With a piece of filament in each one they make dandy locating holes so the parts go together just right. image

Mmm. That would be easier, wouldn't it. Thanks.
