Prusa Slicer generating floating G-code for printing cones tips
Hi everyone!
I have been using cura slicer, and recently decided to change to PrusaSlicer because I have seen many people using it (my friends prefer it, Youtubers use it too...). So I would like to give it a try.
I am also recalibrating some parameters of my 3d printer, and I would like to print this TempTower (Temp Tower thing from thingiverse), However when it comes to printing the cones (as you can see on the picture below), there is loose extrusions on the cones tips. Is there any way to fix this?
I also have questions about the bridge infills : is it ok for it to cross through the perimeter? Is it "part" of the model or I will have to remove it after printing?
Thanks for your time and help! 🙂

Robin is correct on the Arachne/Classic being the cause of the floating tips of small pointy objects. You can also try tuning the arachne settings but its easier to just switch to classic.
On the Bridge question, you probably have Thick Bridges enabled. When that legacy option is turned on then the layer height is assumed to be the same as nozzle width. So it assumes that any bridge is 0.4 (with a normal 0.4 nozzle) in layer height no matter what your configured layer height is. It makes this assumption because a bridge is not squished into the layer below. This will show up in the preview as interpenetrating extrusions. Just turn that setting off in general. There is very little reason to have it enabled, its a holdover from existing profiles.

The faulty cones are probably due to the Aracne-Permimeter engine. Switch to "classic" and see if the cones look better.
If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

Thanks guys! The sliced model doesn't seems to have any issue now!
