force support for extruded area

 

Having a hard time trying to force the slicer software to force supports on the entire middle circular area (support for an extrusion that is half a mm deep)

its happy to add supports for the holes but i want the entire middle circle to be supported. hope that makes sense?

Thanks all.

Could be a couple of things.  Could you please save your project file in Prusa Slicer (File>Save Project As).  Then take the resulting .3mf file and ZIP it up.  Then attach the zip to a post here.  Must be zipped/archived or the forum wont allow the file to be attached.

Its most likely the option called Dont Support bridges which is enabled by default (you can use the search built into Prusa Slicer to find it) but it may not be.

With a project file we can slice it with the exact same setting you are using as all that info is stored in it.  Allows us to look at the preview and check multiple things easily.
