I was wondering if there is a way to not print certain supports. Like if they are tall and skinny. Am I able to pick and choose which supports I want printed?

Add a support blocker

I have support blocker but I can’t understand how to use it?

fluid nexus
#

Can I still use some of the supports the Cura suggests? And delete the ones I don't want?

you make a cube... where you dont want supports

eternal talon
#

Just scale it up and position it to where you want there to be no supports

#

A support blocker only affects the part it is covering

Awesome I will try that later when I get home from work. But I also wish there was a way to stop a support from printing that has failed

eternal talon
#

Yep it would make life so much easier

If supports are failing you have another issue. Underextrusion or a loose belt or something

Most of the time the supports start out great, but somehow get knocked off. Sometimes I can save it with super glue and 120lb card stock, or painters tape

Do you use rafts

Sounds like another issue. Supports shouldn’t fail

I think its my nozzle that might be knocking it off. Or the bowden tube and the power cord that is hanging to low and knocking the print off

Try turning on z hop

I have that on now. And I'm currently printing Walsh Mark XXXIX chin. So we'll see if that helps

#

But what should I do about the sagging bowden tube, and power cable.

you can also set minimum support sizes
