Support Material Not Staying In Place
I'm not sure what might need to be changed to fix this. My support material in the larger gap isn't staying in place? I have no issues with the smaller gap on the right side. Maybe slow it down?
RE: Support Material Not Staying In Place
I might just try it again with the organic supports.
Here's what I'm trying to print. Using PETG.

Do you NEED supports? Looks like the printer should be able to bridge those windows just fine.

I don't know...just wanted to error on the side of caution. Guess I could give it a shot.
RE: Support Material Not Staying In Place
Do a test print with the opening size before trying the full print. Default MK3+ settings and Prusament PETG, I got decent bridging to 20mm. Some changes and I can print 50mm with some stringing on the bottom. I just created a simple test for that purpose.

This is the warning I get when I run the slicer without supports....
RE:
It's basically a problem with the support material. Her are a couple prints I've started. The support material is not sticking to the smooth part. The one on the left I decided to switch to organic and still had the same issue.
I decided to flip the block so the support material could print on the bed and here was my first result.
I'm retrying it again now. I made some adjustments to the support material making it thicker, lowering the contact distance, lowering the pattern spacing and making the branch diameter larger. If this doesn't work, I might try slowing it down. I'm not sure what else to do.
RE: Support Material Not Staying In Place
can you print it vertically (so that L3 will stand vertically), or is the model too high for that?
See my GitHub and printables.com for some 3d stuff that you may like.

So close! I think I'm going to lower the support material contact distance to zero.

Possibly. I have a couple other pieces that are similar that I probably won't be able to, so I'm hoping to figure this out.
