Supports not slicing correctly even though I enforced them

Hi everyone, 

 

i just recently bought, assembled and now finally tested the MK3s+ and im baffeled about the print quality so far. 

However i have some problems with the slicer and the supports.

I do have a pretty big part to print (cant rotate it to the other side for various reasons) and the software just wont generate supports where they are definitely needed. I attached some screenshots where you can see the overhang which needs support, the enforced support cube and the resulting supports from the slicer.

Doesnt matter if i change the support settings to "everywhere" same result.

 

Am i missing something?

Thanks for any help 🙂

I need to see your settings.  Post an 3mf file that has been zipped.

Hi Bullet,

 

heres the file saved as 3mf.

I basically only activated supports in the settings and then tried to get them to work here.

thanks for checking

@kinghelmer

That is a common error.
