[Solved] PrusaSlicer won't create support structures  

RE: PrusaSlicer won't create support structures

Check to make sure Print Settings->Support material->Options for support material and raft->Support on build plate only is not checked. Looking at your screen, it does look as if it's set to "Everywhere" (Ueberall). If you save your part and settings off in a 3MF project file, zip it, and attach it to a reply here, we can offer better suggestions.

RE: PrusaSlicer won't create support structures

Hi Oneg. 

Have you tried turning supports on? 

this is the easiest way to turn supports on

or you can turn supports on in this menu

and if you move to Prusa Slicer 2.3.0RC2 you can use painted supports as well

Regards Joan

Thank you for the quick reply. "Support on build plate only" is already disabled.

Here's the model as .3mf.

It's already activated.

Please do as Bob requested and save your project as a 3mf, zip it up into an archive and attach it here.  It must be zipped or the forum wont accept the file type.
With the project 3mf file we can slice it with the exact same settings you are using.  Its the best and most efficient way of debugging issues like this.

I already answered on his reply and uploaded the file. The post is still awaiting moderation tho.

Both posts moderated... 🙂

RE: PrusaSlicer won't create support structures

I'm sorry but you didn't attach it as a zip to the forum, its a google drive file that requires access.  I hope Bob or Joan can help you.  Good luck.

@neophyl

Everyone who has the link should have access to the file.
When I'm trying to attach a .zip, .rar or .3mf through forums it doesn't upload due to security reasons.

RE: PrusaSlicer won't create support structures

When I clicked the link it took me to a page where it wanted my details so I could request access to the file. As such I decided not to proceed. 
If the forum isn’t accepting zip files now then I’m afraid I’m about done with it then. It’s hard enough responding to replies when you don’t get notified and when you do the link takes you to the wrong place. If they have messed up even the very limited allowance for zip files then it’s going to become almost impossible to help on this forum. 

As I said previously, good luck but I don’t see how I can help further.

I got some odd Wordfence block earlier today trying a regular post.

Would you please try this link. I uploaded it to OneDrive. Downloading from there should work without logging in.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

@neophyl

Hi, Neophyl, the forum accepted my zip files earlier, but I am a moderator. if you find this is still a problem, please let me know. and I will escalate it

I downloaded your project file. Support were set to none when I first loaded it. After setting supports to "everywhere", it sliced as expected. I can see from your screenshot that you also had supports set to "everywhere", so I'm not sure why it won't slice for you. I am running PrusaSlicer 2.3.0-rc3 on MacOS.

RE: PrusaSlicer won't create support structures

I am using v2.2.0. There are no updates. Could you please send me your support settings? Maybe I made a mistake there.

Supports are also set to "everywhere" for me.

RE: PrusaSlicer won't create support structures

Nevermind, I just did a full reset of PrusaSlicer. Everything works fine now. No idea what caused that problem.

I had the same issue.  If you take out the tick from "Don't support bridges", it generates the support ... or at least, it did for mine!

This didn't fix the issue either. Only way to get it working was a full reset of PrusaSlicer.

Unable to add supports in PrusaSlicer 2.3.3 (macOS)

I'm having the same issue with supports not being added to Prusa Slicer 2.3.3 on macOS.  Supports > Everywhere is selected.  How would I go about doing a full reset of PrusaSlicer?  Or is that simply a reinstall?
