I recently had a defect in one of my prints that was caused by a support tree being knocked off of the build plate by the nozzle.
It would be very helpful to have the option to skip printing a portion of a support structure. In the case of tree supports, perhaps the trunk of the support could be selected and skipped for the remainder of the print job. Or even more granularly, a “branch” of the support tree could be selected to be skipped.
I’d like this function as well. In the meantime I’ll be certain to check the size of Brims to help keep some of the isolated tree supports attached to the bed. It’s a shame to have to cancel a print that is near completion because of one support failing.
I second this request. 90% of my print “failures” are support trees being knocked of the buildplate, and 90% of the time it has little to no impact on the finished print. What does impact the print is when the hotend keeps spewing filament all over the place- usually embedding it into the walls of the model. I have no idea how possible this would be to implement- but being able to say “this support no longer exists- stop trying to make it happen” would be awesome.
Checking in 2026-06-28 - found this thread while searching for this exact thing. It appears it’s still not an available feature, and it would be great to add if possible.
omg, I lost a 20-hour print just because of one of my supports. Please add this feature!
