different supports in same devices

hey guyz
take a look at the jpegs i attached below.
i used customize support on one device then copied them on my bed so i could print 4 of them at one try.
but in G-Code section as u an see, there are two completely different kinda supports under the devices. which of course ruined on of them in process... :? :? :?

Re: different supports in same devices

The pitch of the support is fixed across all of the print bed ….and just happens to be different to the pitch of the position of the parts.

You can get the supports the same by shuffling the parts apart so that their spacing falls in line with the support pitch.

Re: different supports in same devices

good one. i'll try that.
but yet when i changed the "support infill" from 15% to 45% , the pattern got fixed all the same with current arrangement on the bed(pitch)
so i'm assuming it's some kinda bug anyhow.

Re: different supports in same devices

Try a model alignment depending on your support pillar resolution

Nope. Not a bug!!!


When you change the infill percentage, you change the pitch of the repeat in the pattern of the support...and as you have noticed, at some percentage the pitch of the support repeat will obviously match up with the pitch of your multiple items. This is actually doing the same as I had suggested....but the other way round, if you see what I mean.
