I bought a Maker Select V2 several years ago. It either linked to, or came with, a very old version of Cura Lulzbot (21.03 I think?). I’ve been using it on Debian Linux ever since. I’ve tried upgrading Cura over the years but always run into some issues that I end up just going back to 21.03.
Lately I noticed support structure isn’t being generated in my prints anymore. I have the overhang set to “0” which should generate a crazy amount of support.
This is my settings and the part I’m trying to print. The slot at the bottom should be showing support structure. Maybe I’m remembering a different version of Cura but thought the supports show up in blue when viewing the toolpath in “Layers” view.
I’ve downloaded the latest Cura-lulzbot (3.6.37-deb10) but there is no longer an option for the Monoprice Maker Select V2 or Wanhao i3 (a clone compatible of the MSV2, or vice-versa).
A few questions:
-
How can I get support structures generating again in 21.03?
-
The 21.03 interface has settings in so many places it’s dizzying trying to find things. Is there a text file somewhere I can open up and just edit? I found some older ones in ~/.config/cura but the 21.03 and 3.6.37 directories are not there
-
What’s the method for creating a new machine definition in Cura 3.6.37?
-
Anyone have a MSV2 def they would be willing to share?
