Holes in support structure as part of gcode

I've searched but cannot find an  answer to this problem. I am seeing holes generated in the supports after slicing. I'm trying to print large things but I've noticed my small prints have this too but it never mattered. This was an 11 day print that failed after 24 hours because of these gaps. Eventually they got big enough it couldn't keep building the support.

Try decreasing the support trunk size, and increasing the number of trunks.

Its a known issue with the software and has been around for awhile https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer/issues/10725

I made these (2) files several days ago, to demonstrate certain problems involving the use of Organic supports in Slic3r and their fixes to another user. There is a lot to learn before tackling the fixes, however rest assured they are quick to deal with once you get a grasp of the subject, and can even be dealt with pre-emptively.

These .gcode files are not intended to be printed ! (as they were prepared for my printers not necessarily yours) but rather to give a 3d example of what is possible.

 

Organic Sup Default behaviors.zip

Organic Sup Fixed.zip

 

The purpose of the files in this case is to show that these problems can be mitigated. As there are a multitude of techniques that can be employed to achieve these results, it's too much information to try and pass along here. In the future as you ask for suggestions or help, it’s best if you Upload the Project file your working on, intact with all the settings, in this way if someone has the knowledge and time to address your specific issue they can do so, otherwise it’s a guessing game as most answers are very specific to the project.

My suggestion is that you study Supports in Slic3r from the time they were implemented, not just organic supports, but all support types, as this information applies across the spectrum. I further suggest using Google to search these forums for older posts regarding supports in PrusaSlicer in-general, for older versions of the software.
