In the past I have used Cura for the slicer. But since I bought my Artisan Unit, I have been using Luban and I want to use it as I can have a lot of interaction with 3D Printing, CNC, Laser etc…
There is one feature that I can not figure out that it is very useful when you 3D Print “Domes” or “Helmets”. In Cura the feature is called the “Support Blocker”
It allows to delete in the case of the Helmet the support in the middle of the Dome that is NOT needed and I can save many hours of printing and a lot of material savings.
Here is the picture of before and after with Cura: BEFORE I can remove the middle support
APPLYING the Support Blocker allow to “block” the middle support since it is not needed when building a dome or helmet. Here is the outcome when applying it.
NOW, let us go the Luban Software.
It seems that this feature is incorporated (see the next picture)
In the picture you can see the feature called “Support” where you can edit it… see the next 2 pictures
You have the option to EDIT ALL, then you can +Add or - Delete support
Here is the results after I deleted the support in the middle. The same as Cura.
@Jade Hello Jade, is there any contact that you might have to get some help here ?
Let me know if you need more details. Bottom line what I am trying to know is if the Luban software has a Material Blocker like the Cura. See my note above for details.
I had the same problem. For me, the solution was to make sure the Support slider was set to None, otherwise it automatically did full supports and ignored any manual support edits.
But if you keep the setting to NONE, then there is NO support in the whole model, which it will cause other areas of the model to fail. Is that what you did ? OR am I missing something ?
