Z-Lift when crossing support during support generation
Posted: 21 Apr 2015, 14:52
Hey guys, great to see it all moved to a forum, the new beta looks amazing.
I am requesting a feature based on some problems I was having printing these rather large parts that took me like 20 hours to print.
I would wake up in the morning and see that my print head was dragging across the support. When the support is short it isn't a problem, but when you get past about 3 inches tall it begins to crack them loose and from then on it goes down hill.
A Z lift after each layer or wipe is great, but if KISS decided to order the support in such a way that it flys across already laid support material it doesnt do a Z-lift and it eventually folds them over and breaks them all off.
So it would seems, the ability to have it lift the head any time it tries to rapid to a place say more than the width of the support material would solve that problem?
Thanks Jonathan,
Jeremy
