Forcing supports in areas the slicer refused to put supports
Hi
Is there a way to convince pursaslicer to put supports exactly where i specify, regardless of if it detects the area as bridging or not?
To be clear, the answer is not as simple as "use support enforcers" or similar.
To elaborate a bit more on the issue.
I have a box with an area i intend to put a velcro strip on at the top, the underside ends up a bit ugly which is the smallest problem, the lack of support in the right places is a bigger one and makes the box warp a little and it actually ends up about 1mm too small in the middle making it unusable.
See picture below.
how can i convince the slicer to put more supports all the way to the center of the box and not just the outer edges? (the flat light blue area needs support)
Picture is with two big support enforces covering both sides.

This is a really common one, a search will find the answer but to make it easy on you the light blue colour coded areas are called bridging. Bridged filament doesn’t need support according to PS. And in many cases it’s correct. However depending on your printers cooling it can be a bit over ambitious.
The reason it’s only supporting the perimeters is you will have an option called don’t support bridges enabled. Turn off that option and it will then allow the support algorithm to place support under bridged areas.
btw if you manually alter the bridging angle to bridge across the shortest length it would probably print ok even without the supports.

Thanks removing "don't support bridges" did the trick
