I’m trying to print an object with a significant overhang, which definitely needs support. The problem is, Bambu Studio doesn’t seem to handle these prints well. I can only paint supports when the entire object is selected, and there’s no X-ray view to help me see inside.
Because of that, I can only see the edges where I want to paint support.
Here’s the closest view I can get:
You can see the C-shape on both sides—it extends a bit further than shown. At the top of the screenshot, part of the model blocks the view. If I move it, this is what I get:
It’s kind of strange that Bambu Studio doesn’t account for this. Maybe there’s an option hidden among the countless settings I haven’t seen, but I couldn’t find anything in the wiki.
Section view is a half-assed “xray” to get at interior geometry.
Start with a known camera orientation. Use the section slider to step into it. It’s a very granular tool, going in at max zoom to small areas is going to be very frustrating, but possible using deeper floating points
You might need to do it from a few angles to paint all the areas
can you be more specific ?
Would auto supports work, with support blocker shapes added to limit the supports from the places you don’t want it?

i cant place anything except at the entrance, the only thing i can do is either paint the area…that give me too many support…or place point and the edge of it and that is not enough
here is an image so you understand better
like i said think of a C shape that is deep, with a block in front of it, so you can only place support on what you see, you can imagine it is impossible to reach the end to place support
Sorry - not quite understanding the issue and why support blockers or enablers wouldn’t work -
