Why are these support lines there? They are supporting nothing. I’ve also tried to exclude these zones around them panting custom supports.
Any help is appreciated!
I noticed the same thing on a recent print - support prep that never gets support printed on top of it.
If you adjust the support angle setting you may find a value that lets it actually put support there.
I suspect it’s a bug in the slicer that somehow adds unused support prep.
Luckily it isn’t wasting a lot of filament but if you can’t get rid of it with support settings might want to file a bug report.
First of all, thank you for responding. Changing the support angle threshold didn’t solve my issue, but your response prompted me to investigate the support settings, and I found an alternative solution.
Disabling ‘on build plate only’ removed those support lines on the first layer, but it added other supports that I didn’t want. So, I enabled ‘Don’t support bridges,’ and those supports were removed, except for one. I removed the remaining one using ‘Paint Supports.’
I achieved the desired result this way. I’ll still report this bug as soon as I have time.
Thanks again!
