Supports go through the walls. This is an issue if the area you are supporting is thin.

I've added a custom support, just simply by setting the size and clicking the underside of the model. When previewing the slicing, I can see there is only one layer being generated on the build plate. What's happening here?

Using Cura 4.7.1

If you look at my example, I require narrow cylinder supports.

These can be fragile when printing, so would like the first two layers to be wide like micky mouse ears, circular tabs. To give a strong base.

Example

I have noticed that while using the cylindric custom support plugin, after I place a few support shapes, my print time goes CRAZY high and after checking my Z height # between layers, it has gone from the .2 I normally slice at to a .12 O_)o. Grant it the prints look AMAZING BUT.. A print that should normally be 4hrs is 15! I am using the custom shapes as "blockers" for fuzzy skin so I only have fuzzy skin where I want it and not where parts get connected together.

To begin with... Thanks for this. This makes a big difference to my workflow. The only problem I have is that it attaches to the print making cleanup pretty hard. Is there a way to have it an adjustable distance away from the print so that it doesn't attach to the print so strongly?

Just wondering if this will get updated for Cura 5.7.0? I was able to install it through GitHub, but it is no longer available on the marketplace

We have a situation, where I need support on 2 flour, but not on 1.
But supports down to the work surface.

Cylinders have some parameters, like "Size" (diameter), "Max Size" (work with angle)

So how can I stop down supports to work surface?
Or, as the idea is, you can add a parameter height (10 mm down for example). This will solve problems like mine.

And some bugs!

PS. Remove last delete all supports

PPS.
`Clicking existing support deletes it

Clicking existing support + Ctrl switch automaticaly to the Translate Tool to modify the position of the support.

Clicking existing support + Alt this shorcut allow to add a support on a existing support.
`
any of this points doesn't work. Or I don't understand how I must "Click" on supports to delete it :\

Cura 5.1.1
If you need something, tell me

Thank you for attention

Hi! I was working with an object that needed 6 supports, so I placed 6 cilinders and then made 6 duplications of the object. This produced a BIG performance loss, at the point that I had to wait a solid minute when tried to rotate one of the duplicated objects.
Already checked that wasn´t the objects fault. Ended up duplicating the objects I needed and putting the supports one by one object.
In this second approach every time a cylindical support was placed, Cura freezed some seconds until the support appeared.
This didn´t happened in Cura 4.X.X. Wish I could propose more info about it
Thanks!

Is it possible to do something like custom tree supports, or paint on supports? I envy the paint on and tree supports of Prusa. Cura often does not auto generate tree supports where I need them, and the normal supports are lacking and encase my print. Cura produces better prints overall. Prusa gives me isses while printing constantly. Hoping for some type of custom tree or paint on supports for Cura in the future. Thank you!

Hi @5axes,

First of all, thanks for this great plugin.

Since I've updated my Cura to versio 4.10, I'm not able to slice when I put some
custom supports. It says that is slicing but never get finished.

When I save and open the file, the supports have moved and ive tried this a few times now

when using custom support cylinder half of cura blanks out. including a screen shot for reference.

Firstly, thank you for this plugin as it actually makes supports usable in Cura! I finally just updated to Cura 5.1 from 4.13 and reinstalled/updated all of my plugins and noticed I'm having issues with all of the support shapes except Cylinder. All of the other shapes protrude up into or through the model which adds extra material through the top of the part. As you can see in this screenshot, the Tube support goes into the part and the other supports go right through the top of the model (which actually shows will get printed).

Add support, scale, model moves on it's own

Things to get from Qidi. The Custom Support Button with the Remove All option

I see another one similar to this but it looks like the post it references is closed.
Running Cura 5.3.1 and can't get this plugin to install. Was just able to install Custom Supports Eraser Plus so not sure what the problem may be or where to start.

This is the report HERE that the OP can't download the plugin. There is some discussion about an "access token".

Cura version:
Any

OS:
Windows 10 (likely any)

Reproduction steps:

1. Add a custom support (e.g. cylinder)
2. Resize the cylinder using uniform scaling

Expected result:
The cylinder is resized based on its center (similar to the support blocker cube) and the model remains in its initial position.

Actual results:
The cylinder is resized but it is also moving the model it is attached to.

Additional Info:
This only happens when resizing the custom support. Moving or rotating the custom support does not affect the position or orientation of the model it is attached it.
