two bugs
Posted: Fri Nov 13, 2015 6:49 pm
Not sure why I don't see my last report, as the error is still there, so now I'll just post both.
First one was removing support from multiple objects fails. That is if you have multiple STL files loaded, and you remove support material from every thing on the plate, only the last item selected will have the supports removed when you click prepare to print. You can test it with any model you want, but if you want to know what I was doing, I had a wades extruder loaded each part as separate STLs since I had to do some customization and would rather let simplify3d lay things out for building. It doesn't need support. Its been designed around it, and support removal would be a pain. So I killed support in it. I also have a fan duct for the new Cyclops hot end I have, and wanted to print it at the same time, it does need a bit of support, No matter what I did, some part of the extruder would have support. Only the part that was the last selected part which I removed support from would be taken into consideration for custom supports. As a software engineer, it sounds to me like the operation is only being applied to the current context rather than iterating over every one of them on the plate.
Second bug:
Thin walled models are not barriers to support. Support sticks through the model. Even when I make sure to draw it so that its not there in the custom support screen, click prepare to print, and I see grey sticking through my fan duct. To be clear, this is internal support sticks through to the exterior. I've shrunk the resolution to minimum and tried every combination of settings to make this work. Seems I always get stuff sticking through.
If you really believe this to be a (l)user error, tell me what I should be doing, if I'm wrong, make my bug report read software is not intuitive even to another software engineer
