Organic support structures starting high
I often have prints fail when using organic supports. I think this is a slicer problem. I'm using PrusaSlicer 2.9.2. I'm printing on a Mk3S+ but I don't think this is a printer issue.
There are several places where the support structure starts with nothing below it. Using the 3mf file, zoom in at 3rd thick line from the left and the thin line below the second thick line from the bottom. Using the vertical scroller, scroll to the 8th layer (1.60mm). Now scroll up to layer 9. You'll notice new layers being printed 1.6mm in mid-air. There are other places this occurs at this layer and other layers.
A ball of filament forms on the nozzle, falls off, hardens and a crash is detected.
Admittedly, this is not the most printable model. I'm associated with a public library. Young people find things on the internet that they want to print.
Obviously, you're going to want the 3mf and stl files. I tried 'Add media' but it said these file types were not supported. I didn't see a 'Bugs and Errors' forum. Did I post this in the wrong place? How do I attach the files?

Known issue with organic support. I'm guessing yours is the same problem - without the project etc 🙂
For example -

Many duplicates opened on the prusa slicer github but 9601 is the primary one for this issue.

You will have to use a zip program (WinZip or alternate, I use 7-Zip) to create a .zip file with your .3mf inside. Then upload the .zip file.

I did look for other reports - really. I just didn't search the right words. I couldn't believe I was the only one seeing this. I won't upload any files - they offer no new information. Sorry for the noise.
