I tried changing the part type but the result ends up making this part disappear completely.
It would be nice to have something called “Support Part” which would treat the part as support (and it would be the color green like the tree supports we see here). That way the tree supports could grow/continue off the support part instead of wasting filament growing from the bed plate.
I’m not home so I can’t check this but, do you have the option selected in Bambu Studio that is “On Build Plate Only”? Also, have you tried adding custom support onto the area you want you want the support to build off of? There is an option in Bambu Studio to “paint” support.
I am trying to get the support to continue off the orange triangle you see up front. Instead the support trees are still starting from the build plate.
However, making all the tiny, tedious corners is very time consuming, and the core support is really the only thing a human should have to do here. The auto support “should” be able to grow off a existing man made support part. However that feature seems to not exist here.
“Going manual and painting them on” does not resolve the issue at hand.
As I mentioned above, the orange triangle is where the supports should continue upwards from. However, there is no way to tell Bambu Studio that this other object is actually a “support part” and not a “part”.
Yes I spotted this after I reviewed my post hmm. In the end it can get overly complicated and keeping things simple always works for me. I’ve relied on either building sacrificial support in or painting if there is a difficult project. Otherwise I just let BS do its job as its usually pretty good even with full “normal” automatic. Filament use is negligible when you factor in quality.
No worries. The angled parts is where this topic really comes into play due to center of gravity shifting. Its a advanced printing method and a little a head of its time for the Bambu Slicer it seems.
