Topic: trouble with suport material

do I have to stop using slicer to use support material?

because I tried using Skeinforge activated rafting and support and it wont print it with either setting.

any advise is helpful.

I have read the wiki, and I must be missing some really small detail for these settings to actually print

I have the SD3 heated bed, the works.

thankyou,
Ryan.

Re: trouble with suport material

Recently I learned how to make support material with meshmaker 2.0 smile. very nice supports, took me about an hour to figure out how to move in the program, and another hour to get comfortable with the support generator. Had to run final STL through cloud.netfabb.

Use tutorials on youtube smile

Not without the desktop software sad.

But it may have been a 1-time deal. I was adding supports to a complicated STL, so it may be that in other circumstances the supports don't cause mesh problems. And, for what it's worth, I could still slice the "incomplete mesh" version without problem.
