RE: [rp-ml] supporting flat area above another flat area issue

Dave,
 
Did you also increase the "Strand Thickness" and "Projection Thickness"?
Increasing these to at least .015" (.4mm) may help.
 
Also, reducing "Strand Spacing" to .06" (1.5mm) could help too.
 
Cheers,
 
Ron DeFonce

Subject: [rp-ml] supporting flat area above another flat area issue

Hello all,

I'm running into a support issue when supporting a flat area above
another flat area. Basically, the flats are parallel to each other and
the platform. Distance is irrelevant . The beginning support from the
platform to the first flat is fine. It's the bottom of the support
structure (which should attach from the top surface of the bottom flat)
seems to lose itself as it grows higher and eventually doesn't attach to
the bottom surface of the above flat. At times I lose most of the
support but some grows in the "stringy, fuzzy" mode. I've increased the
overcure and also increased the bottom contact. Sometimes this works but
I still have issues. I hope I didn't confuse anyone. Any suggestions
will help.
