How to add brims to only certain Parts?

Hi guys,

I need to add a brim to the couple of studs in the top right corner (Not talking about necessity to do so). But say, I don't want to add brims to the all the other parts on the bed. Or, if I wanted to add brims to only the ends/corners of a more massive object to avoid warping, where could I change properties in PS 2.7.4 to reduce brims to only defined areas?

regards,  Ralf

select object, 
right-click, scroll to bottom of menu > add settings. 
choose: skirt and brim 
select : brim type
now you can select: No brim 

We will do what we have always done. We will find hope in the impossible.

If you can post a Zipped .3mf project file exported from prusaSlicer I may be able to help. The forums file server will only allow the file to be posted if its zipped.

I need the zipped up .3mf project file, not the g-code.

The project file is the file that produces the g-code. When you save a project in prusaslicer it saves as a .3mf

 

File menu>Save Project As. (name the file and save.)

sorry, took some time - had to figure out how to convert 3mf to zip first, never tried before and don't have a converter on my Mint-Machine (at least didn't find one) 😪

Brim.

hope it works right now + thx for Your patience

regards,  Ralf

RE:

This is the right kind of file, and you posted it ok, but it doesn't match the image you show in your first post. The studs that you circled in red are not on the bed. I thought that's what you wanted the brims around?

 

I know your new to this it's ok, we all had to started somewhere.

RE:

u're right, in the meantime I'm completely confused. attached the PS-file I'm printing just now, omiting the studs.

Any chance of You showing me the Way to do it myself?

The solution @eef provided earlier doesn't work, for I got no item "add settings" in the drop-down-menu when right-clicking an object (Yes, I swapped language to en)

Maybe these images help:

Made a screen recording of this (first time I do this on the forum, no idea if this works :-))

swiching from "advanced Level" to "Expert" gives me the last lane + the chance to fix brims or not to single objects 😍 😍 😍 

Thank You so much for Your patience and efforts.
